Eagles News: Help for Banner

Feb 19, 2009 Eagles News

What, is Joe’s calculator malfunctioning?  Since when does this guy need high-profile help like this?

The Eagles announced on Thursday that they have named Andrew Brandt as a consultant to assist in the areas of player contract negotiations and salary cap management. In this role, Brandt will work closely with Eagles president Joe Banner with those matters through August, 2009.

Brandt left the Green Bay Packers last year after nine years as vice president, where he handled all player contracts and managed the salary cap for the Packers. Prior to that, Brandt spent many years as a player agent, representing NFL players such as Matt Hasselbeck, Adam Vinatieri and Ricky Williams.

Wow.  Maybe with the possibility of an uncapped year and the complications involved, the Birds felt they needed another big-time nerd.
