The 10 NFL Running Backs Paid More Than Brian Westbrook
Posted August 04, 2008 on
rofman's Blog:
As Brian Westbrook looks to renegotiate his deal, I took a look at the 2008 Cap numbers for all NFL running backs. While the list isn't surprising necessarily, it is surprising to see where Westbrook fits in. Is there any question that he's not at least the 2nd most valuable guy on this list?
NOTES: LAST NAMES ACCEPTED AS RESPONSES, AND THIS LIST DOESN'T INCLUDE FREE AGENTS SHAUN ALEXANDER AND LAMONT JORDAN, BOTH OF WHOM HAD HIGHER CAP NUMBERS THAN WESTBROOK.
Average Score: 5.6 (56%)

What started off as a simple preseason camp has turned into a reign of terror not seen since the 1992 Pat's Steak Massacre where Vai Sikahema went apeshit and murdered three Pat's Steaks employees with his trademark goalpost punch. The last thing people heard that night was "Bouillabaisse!" which has confounded detectives to this day.

The Eagles have posted their current depth chart on PhiladelphiaEagles.com. Click here to see it.
Here are some things I noticed:
1. Sheldon Brown and Lito Sheppard are listed as co-starters at right cornerback. Brown is listed first (Brown/Sheppard), so maybe that means he's really the starter and they are just trying to make Sheppard feel better.
2. DeSean Jackson...

This Shawn Andrews hold out has everyone baffled. And yesterday in Peter King' story about his annual journey to Lehigh, he wrote that he had been assured from the EAGLES this protest from Andrews was not about money. So what could it be?It can only be two issues -- either he wants to retire and hates football or he is unhappy with his contract. If he were sick or had an emotional...

I think LJ is going to finally play to his fulpotental, but with that, I think his chance of getting injured increases. This year, he is going to play with something to prove.
