CB Sheppard Shows Up at Minicamp

Despite it being widely speculated that he would not show, cornerback Lito Sheppard was at Eagles mandatory minicamp on Friday night.  The two-time Pro Bowler has been on the trading block, as the Eagles went out and got All-Pro corner Asante Samuel on the first day of free agency, and Sheppard has been balking about wanting a new deal.

“We all know the situation at hand,” Sheppard said Friday. “It still stands unresolved, but I’m here. I’m here to practice and that’s what I’m focused on right now. That’s pretty much it.”  Right now Sheppard is signed through 2011, and Andy Reid did say that he can see the team restructuring Sheppard’s deal to keep him with the team.  “I think it can get resolved,” Sheppard said. “That’s one of the reasons why I’m here working toward that.”
