It is done now. Dawkins is a bronco. 5 year deal worth $17 million, $9 million in gaurantees.

I think alot of players on the eagle defense overachieve for 2 reasons, Jim Johnson and Dawkins leadership. Now with Dawkins gone and Johnson's future in question I am worried.

I also don't think Dawkins will do as well in Denver. Sad day for Eagle fans.

I dont know, that makes it easier. Id have loved to see Bdawks retire as an Eagle, that is for sure. IT sickens me to see a diferent logo behind his head on ESPN. but a 5 year deal? No thank you. As much as I love that man, I love a winning team more. Jim will be back next year, hes already been through cancer treatment before, he'll be fine again this year. Our defense is in the right stage. It is youthful, but no longer young. I think we will be fine on the leadership front. We just have to worry abou the TALENT side of this.

[jflip2002]

Lol, win and a loss for Denver today.... They get my man Bdawks. But they apparently dangled Jay Cutler as trade bait. They proposed a three way deal to get Cassel from NE, Cutler to TB, then NE would get the TB draft pick. Now Jay wants out. Fucking idiots, Id take Cutler over Cassel any day of the weak. This Patriots connection is fucking stupid, and it ruined their relationship with a stud QB.

I agree, say what you want about the eagles managment but fact of the matter is they make good business decisions, not popular ones. A 5 year deal on a 35 year old free safety who has already played 13 years doesn't make sense to me.

But hey look on the bright side Stacey Andrews is a great addition.

And since I on the subject of managment what the fuck are the redskins thinking. They came into free agency with only like 8 million in cap space and they are throwing money around. How are they going to be able afford all these guys AND sign their draft picks.

if WARNER becomes a 49er .... good or bad?

[TwoJ's]

Good for the niners, bad for warner. The setup he had last year was perfect for him; a spread offense and great receivers to throw to.

And I'm glad we got TJ. He's getting just over 8 mil a year, and only 15 of i is guaranteed. Houshmenzadeh, branch and Burleson is a good starting 3.

[Danny]

Blah, Niners just need to get their shit together.

I don't think going with an old-ish quaterback for a young-ish team is a good move IMO.

[TwoJ's]

Yeah, I agree. He's not a quarterback that will fit in to the type of offensive scheme that it looks like San Fran will be running. He doesn't want to hand the ball off more than taking it in shotgun. Plus, he's clearly a short term solution and I don't think the niners are going to pull an AZ and come out of nowhere.

[pawi30]

i believe this ... and he would not fit in as they will base the offense off gore ... maybe he'd be a good mentor if the niners pick up a qb in the the first couple rounds

[jflip2002]

Nice trade, Seattle. Giving up Julian peterson for Corey Redding and a 5th rounder to Detroit, lol. Totally a money saving move. DOWNGRADE

[Aptyp]

Donte Stallworth killed a dude...

[jflip2002]

Yeah, I saw that. He went from killing his hamstrings, to killing a man. UPGRADE.

[jflip2002]

Oh yeah, and Philly better sign Torry Holt. Holt, Jackson, Curtis, Baskett? Thats pretty damn solid, especially when we draft Pettigrew from OSU. Thatd rival the Cards' offense, and we obviously have a superior defense.

Our new Safety Sean Jones also signed for more money than Denver offered Bdawks. That stings a little. I hope he plays well. I dont want to take away from Bdawks, because I love that man. But Im hoping our blitz scheme and superior defense makes our safeties (besides cocksucker Considine, die you piece of shit) look good.

I don't think that's a downgrade at all. Petersen is getting old, and he wasn't very productive last year at all. Freeing up cap space and getting some help stopping the run is what we needed. Besides, he's going to be replaced by Aaron Curry.

Youre crazy if you think Aaron Curry slips past Kansas Shitty.
