Philadelphia Eagles' disgruntled cornerback Lito Sheppard continues to wonder what his role will be this season with the club. When asked about the upcoming season, Sheppard replied,
"I feel fine. I feel great. I feel healthy. I feel ready to play this season. But as for my role, that is yet to be determined."
According to his agent Drew Rosenhaus, his role could still very well be on another team.
"At least one team has made a recent trade proposal to the Eagles," Rosenhaus wrote in an email to the Philadelphia Daily News. "The Eagles didn't like the compensation and turned it down. I will not identify the team at this time. I think there is a very good chance Lito gets traded in the next few weeks."
It's four days before the start of the season and Sheppard is still here. Chances are that he remains an Eagle this season, and his role is the Nickel cornerback. The best thing for Lito to do for Lito is to not whine, not holdout, not perform in another Rosenhaus Video, but to just play and play well.
The fact that Lito is still here is an indication of the lack of interest in him around the league. If he goes out this season, shuts up, and plays like we all know he can, then his stock will rise significantly this offseason, ensuring him the phat contract he has been looking for.
Play, Lito, play.
