On the NFL: Free agency poses challenges for Eagles

CLICK the link for the full article..........yeah i see what's being said about lito on here......but to be honest i like the guy and i'm sure it's scary as hell not knowing what is going to happen with your future......yeah i'm aware its part of the gig & business is business......BUT this article makes a point so click it & read it -Peace out!! The text message came across just after noon Wednesday. "I am doing great," Lito Sheppard said. "Thanks for being concern [sic]." It's been more than a week since the Eagles signed Asante Samuel to the most lucrative deal for a defensive player in team history and Andy Reid declared that Samuel will be the Eagles' starting left cornerback. It's no secret that the Eagles have been fielding offers for Sheppard, their former starting left corner, and a trade could be imminent. For his part, Sheppard has stayed underground, not commenting one way or the other about the addition of Samuel or the ramifications. Aside from his brief text, he refused to talk for this story. But a team source said last week that Sheppard, who signed a five-year extension in 2004, isn't happy with the developments at cornerback, even though Reid said Friday that Sheppard can play either cornerback position. Upsetting veterans on the team by bringing in new players at higher salaries is a peril of free agency. Past performers almost always feel they are worth more money. Feelings are bound to get hurt. The trick is keeping chemistry intact.
