I don’t know how they let Dawkins out of Philly either. It’s a sad day. I feel like I lost a family member. Its not going to be right seeing #20 wearing blue and orange next year.

I don’t understand how the fans are ever supposed to know what the front office is thinking. You watch the games, you look at what is going on around the league and you see how things need to be done on your team. Year after miserable year the FO makes a series of stupid moves, usually just being complacent and leaving me waiting for some master plan that never happens. This year however, they did the most unacceptable and indescribably stupid thing I have ever seen in my life. They let BRIAN DAWKINS walk. How do you make up for that? Dawkplex is retired.

Next time I see Andy Reid I will fling more of my own shit at him than a Rhesus Macaque. There is no doubt that the team will suffer and I am saddened by this all around.

Dawkins still has some steam left in him. I think Eagles Management gets to tied up in the “Age Factor.” Afterall, age is just a number. He played well this Season… They should of put more consideration in resigning him. He would definitely be beneficial on the field and not a liability. And who’s going to step up as the locker-room leader now? Who’s going to fire up the team?

If you would have told me a month ago that Sports On Broad’s 100th post would be about Dawkins officially leaving the Eagles, I would have shot you in the kneecap.

The problem Iggle is that the Eagles let Dawkins reach free agency. They should have locked him up with a 2 year deal worth $6-7 mil within a week of the season ending. Dawkins called the Eagles bluff and we lost one of the greatest players to ever wear an Eagles jersey. I would have been upset if they signed Dawkins to a 5 year deal, but I can’t imagine he would have turned down a 2 year, $7 mil deal before ever reaching free agency.

If those are the terms - then I agree, the Birds couldn’t do it - and good for B-Dawk, that’s a hell of a contract at his age. If it isn’t, and we find that the Birds could have signed him for 1-2 years, then this is nothing other than a shame.
