Sources in Philly suggest that Eagle Management could have easily retained Dawkins for another 2 years or so ...but they purposely did not. That said, they either know something that prevented the new contract In Philly, or they believe Dawkins may have Lost a step. That all will come out in the wash in the 2009 regular season.
They say the Eagles have Lost their Heart, but someone will always step up to fill the void ...FA acquisitions have just begun. We';; see what being millions under the cap will do to compensate for the Dawkins Loss.
