Oh For Pete's Sake

Posted by Derek

UPDATE:  See comments.

From PFT:

A league source tells us that there are rumblings that Eagles guard Shawn Andrews might not show up for training camp, apparently due to displeasure with his contract.

You know what?  If this is true, Eff you, dude.  No one forced you to sign a $35 million contract back when people were still worried about your ability to keep your weight down.  The franchise wasn't going to get its bonus money back if your faux-serious injury last year had ended your career.

Remember this article?  You should, since it's on your website.  It's the one that says something like this:

You really do never know. Which is at least partly why Andrews signed a 7-year contract extension yesterday that a foxsports.com report valued at up to $40 million overall with about $10 million in bonus money, a value denied by none of the principals.

...

"Well, some guys feel like they can play out their deal and things happen," Andrews said. "But my rookie year, I had a very unfortunate accident [a fractured fibula in his first game], and you never know what tomorrow is going to hold. I have a daughter and my mom; I want that security and just to be here. I am an Eagle, and this is where I want to be. I haven't been to any other team, but I have heard stories from guys at other teams, and this is where I want to be."

Sounds great.  Now prove it by showing up and playing football.

Yeah, you're good, but always remember the bottom line:  You're Not Brian Westbrook.

Maybe I'll go shopping for Max Jean-Gilles jerseys.  If they come in my size.
