Eagles release B. Westbrook, per NFL Network

Don't have a link right now. It is a scroll at the bottom of their channel.

Also, during the Warpath outage, I'm sure everyone knows but just reiterating in a thread, LT was outright released.

Chargers bid farewell to L.T., who says he's not done playing yet

A lot of big names hitting the street. Washed up names that is.

Portis needs to join them

Seriously though, the Redskins might take notice of other teams purging themselves of over-paid, worn out players.

I wonder now if he will retire, with his concussion concerns, among other things...

Yup. It's amazing how fast NFL running backs hit the proverbial wall. Guys like LT, Westbrook, and Alexander went from dominant to done in a very short time.

I think what's more amazing, is that at one point, Westbrook was THE number one weapon that the Eagles had both in the running and passing game. Westbrook was definitely a game changer. It'll be interesting to see if he has anything left in the tank and whether any team would take a chance on him given his concussion problems last season.

Portis points to LT as the reason he shouldn't full participation in mini-camps and training camp. Now the Skins can point to LT as the reason to why he should be doing those things.

CRedskinsRule · 02-23-2010, 03:28 PM

Does that mean we can release B. Westbrook too?

SolidSnake84 · 02-23-2010, 03:30 PM

considering our B. Westbrook has had 2 arrests already in Shanahan's short tenure as HC, i would say its pretty likely...

LT hitting the wall had nothing to do with off season/pre season stuff. CP is just crying like a baby like he always does cause he's lazy and doesn't want to train.

I think Westbrook has some mileage left and is worth looking at as a part time player. LT is just done.

LT or Westbrook? Who would you rather have of the two?

Assuming we're talking about a limited role only, I would take Westbrook. But only if he's 100% back from those concussions of course.
