Sheldon Brown wants out

Not only is this news relevant to us, it hopefully also is a nice distraction from the interminable Sanchez speculations.

Sheldon Brown wants out of Philly, Eagles say no

[WaldSkins]

He wanted out last year too and no one would give the eagles what they were asking for him.

Yes, you are right.. However, Cardinals may be willing to deal Boldin for Brown and 1st rd.. Since Brown is better than Sheppard..

Yeah, what is it about the Philly secondary? Everyone wants out except for B.Dawk, who gets pushed out. I suppose Samuels' huge contract made everyone else green with envy.

Two years ago they had some fine corners in Brown and Sheppard. Now Sheppard and maybe Brown are gone.

Don't care he ain't coming here and the draft is coming up so who cares he won't be traded unless it's a package in the draft

[WaldSkins]

Is it me or is there more player on the market this year then ever before?

[John Denny]

Maybe the Eagles offer Brown and their 1st for Boldin.

I actually think that last year they approached the cardinals with a package including Brown for Boldin but the cardinals declined.

[John Denny]

Like someone mentioned in another thread, Boldin has had trouble staying healthy over the past couple years plus is unhappy with his contract so maybe they ship him out this year. Otherwise they'll go through this crap the next two years.
With two first round picks, the Cardinals could replace Boldin with a guy like Nicks or Britt maybe even Harvin (I think he'd be a good compliment to Fitz., especially in that pass-happy offense) and draft a offensive lineman.

Some pretty strong comments from Brown

Cornerback Sheldon Brown wants trade; Eagles say no | Philadelphia Daily News | 04/21/2009

His comment about the Eagles trading for Jason Peters is a good one

This just furthers my brilliant idea to only give one year contracts. You play well you get rewarded, play bad you get squat. I'm still working on the part where everyone switches teams every year but im sure ill figure it out.

I do like the idea of one-year contracts. However, how 'bout teams let players go when they don't want to be in that team anymore? I mean when teams don't want a player, they straight up cut them (Jason Taylor, Marcus Washington, etc., etc.). I don't know why fans make such a big deal when the likes of Chad Johnson or Anquan Boldin ask to be traded. People say "oh, it's all about the money". However, they don't say that it is "all about the money" when they cut a player (like when the team cut Washington). Neither the teams nor the players honor their respective contracts, and it should just stop.
