My favorite Eagle is now gone. What a sad day...:(

I'm glad he's getting more money, since he deserves it. Hope he continues to do a great job now with the Broncos.

I agree Dawkins was an Eagles ICON ...perhaps he should have been retained, but our GM was fully aware of the missed opportunity; meaning that they could have given Dawk a contract, but they chose not to - I'm sure they have a plan.

Surely it must have been difficult for the Eagles to let Dawk go; but we have to trust that the GM knows exactly what they're doing. Besides, FA acquisitions have just started ...while it would be difficult to obtain an acquisiton to compensate for the Wolverine ...there is that potential. Let's wait and see what happens.

It's a young man's game...it was time for him to scoot. That is why your team stays competitive all the time...stay young.

I don't disagree ...however money talks!

According to a source within the negotiations, the Eagles offered Dawkins a two-year deal for pretty decent money, but the Broncos blew that one away with a five-year, $19 million offer.

The deal should really be viewed as a two-year deal, for a total of approximately $9.5 million, with $7.5 million guaranteed, according to the same source. That $7.5 million is guaranteed even if Dawkins plays just one season.

I can't fault Dawkins saying ..."show me the money!"

That is why Free Agency sucks!

Sometimes I think the players just go for the money and not the sport.

No doubt about it. But I think I'll reserve my overall opinion about Free Agency acquisitions until after a Little later ...I'm just curious to see what develops.

The eagles have never won anything, the Cowboys have. They have never killed the Cowboys from winning 5 SuperBowls.

dude Lito has been a pain in our ***** for years and i am glad he and Dawkins are gone... this has nothing to do with 5 superbowls.. see recent history on the Eagles/ Cowboys rivalry... I see your point though.

Don't you think the poster you are responding to knows that Information already!? You must have really dug deep to come up with that explanation. You missed that one by a football field.

Echo this. Those two guys made us pay almost every loss to them.
