The Eagles should pay Brian Westbrook close to what he wants.
They have little chance of having a big year without him at his best.
I think former Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson said it right when he talked about treating his superstars differently than the rest of the guys on the team. Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin are the reasons he's working part time for Fox Sports and making $5 to $10 million dollars a year.
Personally, I think football teams are like doing a $100 million dollar movie production. If Will Smith or Tom Hanks shows up late for a shooting you wait. If one of the extras shows up late he's fired.
If they had invested $5 or $10 million dollars in Terrell Owens a few years back, we would be a Super Bowl favorite and the Cowboys would be used to the basement.
There are certain guys worth paying. Westbrook is one of them.
Give him $25 million more in guaranteed monies and get this situation right.
G.Cobb on July 22nd – I slept on this overnight and feel Westbrook should be willing to accept $10 to $15 million additional dollars. You can't give a guy who only has three to four few years left $30 million dollars. Westbrook deserves more money but he has to be reasonable.
