Phoenix-Talon;2660285 said: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.

Phoenix-Talon;2660346 said: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!"

Sometimes I think the players just go for the money and not the sport.
Phoenix-Talon;2660370 said: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.
