Now, if maybe some of the point being made would be implemented by the Aigles, I may just jump off of the beloved S.S. St-Louis. Maybe.......

They should've done everything within reason to make sure he retired an Eagle. we know they’ve had success relative to the rest of the league – we are past that. it’s time to win a superbowl. people people are sick of the arrogance of the organization, and them acting like they are the patriots…and we’re smarter than everyone attitude. they should have at least 1 if not 2 superbowls by now. they’ve let guys go at good times in the past, but dawkins needed to be handled differently 1) he can still play 2)for all he’s meant to this team and city to be treated as any old player is a joke. to not have a personal phone call made to him by reid or banner OR Lurie was a disgrace.

Torry Holt would be a perfect fit to help Jackson develope as weel as being a very servicible receiver in this offence. He can still run and I know that Donny can still throw a nice deep ball. Picking up Holt will make Curtis and Jackson better in this offense. Make the deal. Don't let Banner talk anymore. The number make him tick. But even with the 40+ million they have to spend, continue to spend it wisely and maybe just maybe we can make another run with Dmac & 36 West. If not how about McNabb for Jay Cutler Straight up?

Sign him TODAY and use the picks for a OT, RB, TE, DE, S, etc... Why give up multiple valuable draft picks when you can get Torry Holt for nothing but cash?

I also find it interesting that Reid hasn't voiced his opinion about it much, if at all. Makes me wonder if this decision was made by Banner & Lurie and Andy was overruled and had to deal with it. That could explain his silence. Tra also discussed Reid's relationship with the players being to "business like" and not connecting with his players more...like Tomlin I also agree that we need to spend some of our money...maybe they'll lock up some young talent during the season..but most I think are already locked up. They really need to make a splash this offseason to get rid of the bad taste left over from Dawk....a Boldin trade would sure help. Trade for Jason Peters? Drafting a some weapons in 1st rd with one of those picks...(Moreno, Pettigrew, Maclin, Harvin, Heyward-Bey, McCoy). Let us in on THEIR PLAN. Are we rebuilding? Or are we going for it this year. good read…i agree the Dawk situation was a cluster-f***. I also find it interesting that Reid hasn’t voiced his opinion about it much, if at all.

I guess billionaires get that way by nickel and diming their best employees. Yes, they have brought this franchise to a level it has never seen. That does not excuse them from treating their employees and clients like assholes. Any corporation that does that will inevitably fail. Lucky for JLu and Banner that they run the Eagles, whose clients are stupid enough to keep coming back. Hurt them in the wallet and maybe things will change. Unfortunately, Philadelphia bleeds green and the stands will always be full, allowing their assinine business tactics to continue. Great article.
