Well…
Feb 29, 2008 Eagles Rumors
It’s official. He’s signed, and the official numbers are going to be close to $10 million per season. That leaves these questions:
- What to do with Lito and Sheldon? Does Lito get traded? Sheldon moved to safety?
- How do Sheldon Brown and Lito Sheppard react to the Eagles declaring their position needed improvement?
- Does Westbrook ask for more money?
Look, there’s a real reason to be excited here. Sheppard and Samuel on the corners would be formidable, and they are both big-play guys. If you declared finding a way to create more turnovers your #1 off-season priority, it would be difficult to argue this wasn’t the best move you could make.
In terms of the emotions involved, it would be nice if these guys would be professionals and realize they are all rich, but that might not happen. It would be nice if the real veterans — guys like Dawkins and Tra Thomas, could get on the horn with anyone who might feel their toes have been stepped on. We’ll see. This is Philly, remember.
Finally, kudos to GCobb’s and Blast Magazine’s Micah Warren for “breaking” this story. His source was legit.
