Around the NFL Week 13

[sportscurmudgeon]

Last time the Eagles had a "pissing contest" going with a player they hung a franchis tag on but who wanted a long term deal or nothing, Danny Boy bailed them out. The player was Jeremiah Trotter. Danny Boy game him a long term deal with the signing money he wanted - - and then Trotter went back to Philly for about a year and a half after the Skins cut him. Since he had Danny Boy's money in the bank and no longer had the leverage to get a big money deal anywhere else, he went back to Philly for MUCH less than they had offered him in the first place.

Wonder if that could happen again...? Presumably, Shanahan/Allen know of that history.
