Ramsey Story Comes to Light

G Cobb had been confused about the Ramsey release as well.  Unlike me, he has actual sources, and his have told him the following:

Former Eagle LaJuan Ramsey didn't think he had a future with the Birds, when they drafted Notre Dame defensive tackle Trevor Laws in the second round.   With that in mind, he approached the Eagles coaches and asked to be traded.  They did even better than that by releasing him.

Another note.  Some of the commenters are off in Blame Banner For Everything Land, but a few actually give the team its due for doing right by a guy who -- barring injury -- wasn't going to make the final roster.

Maybe it doesn't always pay off to be nice, but it's the right thing to do.  One of the reasons I like this coaching staff.
