Multiple media outlets reported on Monday that the Philadelphia Eagles had given cornerback Lito Sheppard and his agent permission to seek a trade.

But the Eagles say it isn’t true.

“Any report suggesting that we’ve allowed Lito or his agent to seek a trade is absolutely, undeniably false,” Eagles spokesman Derek Boyko told Geoff Mosher of the News Journal.

The 26-year-old Sheppard is a two-time Pro Bowler who still has four seasons left on his current contract. He is scheduled to make $3.45 million in 2008, $4.45 million in 2009, $3.7 million in 2010 and $4.25 million in 2011, the News Journal reports.

That’s not a lot of money for a top-flight cornerback, so Sheppard may be seeking a raise. But if he’s seeking a trade, the Eagles say he’s doing so without their permission.
