We’re hearing rumblings out of Philly that the team has struck a deal with running back Brian Westbrook. Specifically, we’re told that Westbrook is telling others that an agreement has been reached.
Westbrook has been angling for a new contract, and contemplated staging a holdout. Not long ago, he fired agent Fletcher Smith and hired Todd France.
The terms, which aren’t yet known, will go a long way toward proving whether France was successful.
If it’s true that Westbrook wanted $30 million over the next three years, our guess is that France wasn’t.

Best player in the league. Any arguments? Ask the players on the 3 other NFC East teams who the best is. Still not enough? Check the tape.

Hey, as long as he’s happy, I don’t care what they pay him. Now if they can just get Andrews some happy pills, the offense should be good to go.

There is nothing nicer to see in football than when a real superstar (ie not C Johnson) gets the money he deserves.

Mikey likey. Brian likey even more. If this is true, he needs to put all of the nonsense behind him and focus on dethroning the Cowboys and Giants.

I just asked the players on the other three teams and they all said AP.

He doesn’t deserve 30 mil, but he does deserve a new contract.
I’m happy the Eagles did right by him (assuming it is true). Banner won’t sleep for the next month now, oh well.

Thats funny I figured they would all say Tom Brady or Ladanian Tomlinson, who in a down year was still the best RB in the league

Seriously best play in the league does not = Championships.

AP? Is that the guy who has only done it once in his career so far? I need to see more of him before I say he’s better than Westy. Better pure runner, sure, but all around? Not so sure.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!
@Fly123,,,
Adrian Peterson has not had teams game-planning to stop him the last 4-5 years like Westbrook.
Most yard from scrimmage in NFL last year - 2,104!
Next was LT - 1949…. AP was somewhere after that.
If B-West got a fat signing bonus and he’s happy, Iggle Phans are happy too.

You must be an Eagles fan, because saying Westbitch is the best player in the NFL is absurd, and most Eagle fans are stupid. Go ahead, make an excuse for them why they didnt win it all last year, like they should every year. You and your city are pathetic.

IenjoyPFT - Get a life, Westbrook is one of the best players in the league, and it was clear that the post was really referring to the NFC East teams. Also, we have no excuse why we didn’t win it all last year, just not good enough like all 31 teams that did not win it all.
How is a city pathetic because a fan feels his star player is the leagues best?
I guess you live in a glass house.

Dear Mr. Westbrook,
You should not accept less than $12 Million a year, guaranteed. Don’t come back until the Eagles meet that demand.
Sincerely,
A Redskins Fan
