Question. Which NFL team has a 29-year-old running back who thinks he’s worth $10 million per year? (Sorry. Watching The Office reruns tonight.)
Answer. The Eagles.
Per a league source, Brian Westbrook is looking for a new deal that pays him $30 million over the first three years.
We’re told that Westbrook picked his new agent, Todd France, based on the fact that France was the only one who would guarantee that he could get Westbrook a certain level of compensation.
Per a league source, multiple other agents withdrew from the running once it became clear that Westbrook was treating the process like a hand of high-stakes Texas Hold ‘Em.
It’s unknown whether France committed to getting $30 million over three. All we know is that France’s bid was the highest.

@ mcnasty
Its a dynasty team, we drafted 4 years ago and the guys don’t change. The only way to draft younger and specifically RB younger, is to lose miserably, miss the playoffs, and have one of the first picks in the annual rookie draft. RBs are long gone by the time my playoff team makes its first round selection each year.
However, I did luck into Matt Forte falling to me this year (we drafted before Benson was released), so I am hoping he’s the real deal and provides me some depth.

Does everybody realize that it’s been 17,376 days since the Eagles have won an NFL championship?
