Brian Westbrook Should Get 30 Million And Should Be Able To Get Whatever He Wants From The Eagles Because He Is The Best Player On The Team And We Can't Win Without Him. He Is As Good As LaDainian Tomlison If Better Because Westbrook Can Do Things That LaDainian Can So He Should Get Paid. Westbrook Set Records Last Year And I Think He Will Get Better And Better Every Year So The EAGLES NEED TO PAY HIM HIS MONEY AND GIVE HIM A NEW CONTRACT.

  • i'm confident a deal will get done, the eagles fo knows what he means to the team
  • yeah i agree with you trot....a deal will get done im not worried about b west.....lito on the other hand, he might be dealt because i dont know if they want to pay another cb top dollar
  • He is as good as L.T. on what planet?????? Every fan in Philly would give their right nut to trade Wastebrook for Tomlinson and don't even lie about it!! Quite possibly the most retarded quote of the year!
  • lets figure westbrook is what 28-29 so he may get 6 million extra for the next 5 yrs that puts him at 33-34 give or take he may see half of that money by 31 yrs old an he will see the slim of it by the end of his Career..... or he can get a 4 yr 7 million dollar contract extension for 28 million an he may not even get that much but at least get 3 million extra for the next 4-5 yr to compensate.... Remember he wants to get paid for his Quality but he isnt Stingy about it as he has proven since 05 no contract okay well ill prove myself an let my legs prove that im worth it.. Trust me westbrook wont be leaving the Eagles he will retire an eagle there wont be a trade an if there is NO it will not be for Round picks it will be for Players that we will benefit from but we wont look past that
  • They either give them a contract extension to both where they wont spend no more than 12 million on both players or give one up which wont be westbrook that i am sure would u rather have westy or lito think about it not saying i dont like lito i do but westbrook is our weapon with out him we go no where we allready got enough CBs but with Reids press-confrence yesterday he sounds like he can work with both lito an westbrook....
  • Good Point Of the two guys West is who we need to keep on board. I dont think the eagles will neglect West....these things have to work themselves out.....Oh in response to the LT comment........I like LT also but lately he hasn't performed like West So there is no way I would EVER trade Brian for LT.
  • i agree because if last yr as any indication during the playoffs they could of won that game but because LT wants to whine and sit on the sideline they lost in the playoffs Westbrook is a Work horse an even if he may not be as good as LT i think he will be better given it time i would never trade westy for LT
  • Pip you are so right....there is no comparison between the two players. Brian is a workhorse, and let's face it he carried the team last year. I hope with Jackson, Booker, and the rest of the guys they can get it done. Booker is going to do is make Brain a better weapon than he is now. I would expect the Eagles to make this right. LT let his team down last year, and I like the guy BUT stop the sniveling, and play football.
  • 30 Million Guaranteed to a 29 yr old RB....NO WAY!!! No matter how much we love him him i think we could put more money in his contract because his contract ends when he's 32 and then we go from there....Any one who thinks the guy should get 30 mill guaranteed is crazy...And yes i don realize what he does for our team...Hes my favorite player...
  • Pay him.the money eagles--He is the only real bullet except for mcnabb---he wants 30 million,give it to him---great blog
  • all of this garbage should have been adressed back in april may june.... im sick of players waiting till training camp to complain... all of a sudden we should jus dump a load of money on westbrook.... i mean i love westbrook but hez not getting any younger.... he deserves his money but damn 30 mil guaranteed... what kina contract would that have 2 be? is it really worth destorying our cap .....iono.... i don think so... no player is bigger than a franchise.... give him his money... less guaranteed... cuz if this guy dosent pan out du to knee problems which we all know about... then wat are we gunna do? no offense to west... my favorite offensive player... i jus dont know man...
  • by the way remeber... minus west, mcnabb still does put up numbers... minus d mac.. does west produce? not really.. we all know west feeds off our offense... no1 else runs it like we do... were is he gunna go? he is an eagles prodigy and nothing else... but still he needs to get compinsated... but this was the wrong time to do it... especially the way he is doing it... im having dejavu....drew rosenhouse and philly... now that a combination that always works out... i can see the cameras infront of wests driveway already.... "NEXT QUESTON, NEXT QUESTION"
  • It was stated that they offered him an extra 10 million but he didnt want that an wanted more? At least we can say that the eagles are trying to set this aside while pleasing there star RB but everything should be settled before Preseason Week 1 he may not get the 30 mil but maybe 18-20 million around there to suffice his appetite, an they will give shepp an extension probably 8 million more+
  • u gotta remember We are cutting players before the Season Money will be more In Tact once we let go of the dead weight n the season starts
  • Ah the stupid posts have already begun. What records did westbrook break last season. And what were you smoking to think he is as good as LT? Shoot Larry Johnson has almost half as many games played in and less yards and more touchdowns then westbrook.
    How about westbrook puts up numbers to be better then guys like larry johnson before we start comparing him to ELITE backs in the league.
    However regardless of that stupid crap you said, he is underpaid.
  • west was only the all-purpose yards leader in the league and third in rushing yards.... larry johnson?? are u f*****g crazy??
    u don have a clue...
  • Guys if u go to PE.com the eagles website u can view Westbrook having his conversation when he came to TC... Um He was using 30 million as an Example as to What He trying to Get across when asked if he was wanting 30 million he Said No... Phew Sigh of Relief even though the best the Eagles could offer he would accept it but he said that the Agents he didnt hire started to put rumors that where never anything to begin with Westbrook n Sheppard will get there pay an we will be happy in Eagle Country.....
