For years, Brian Westbrook was a loyal company man, content to regurgitate all the proper, preapproved talking points at all the proper, preapproved times, he protected the Eagles organization but not anymore. “The thing for them, the Eagles, it’s always money. It’s always dollar signs,†Westbrook said on Dan Patrick’s radio show. “If they can find someone to do it a little bit cheaper, they’ll go with that guy.†He didn’t say it with malice, didn’t raise his voice or curse the front office, he just stated it simply, as though it’s widely accepted as fact by anyone who knows anything about the way the Birds conduct business. When Patrick followed up and asked which is more important to the Eagles - stuffing more money into their already fat wallet or winning - Westbrook paused and thought hard before answering. “I’ve seen them go the money route with so many players,†Westbrook said. “I wouldn’t know. You’d have to ask someone with the Eagles. With the players, winning is a priority. With the management, I would hope winning is the priority - but I don’t know that.†Source: Philadelphia Inquirer
Kinda like a chick after you break up.... Westbrook -"Bleh bleh he doesn't want to spend money on me, doesn't take me places."
in reality IMO i dont think it was $$$ that they dropped him maybe it was the massive head trauma and many injuries
Well im sure he is not referring about himself, i think he talks about other players that the eagles simply let go for the purpose of saving money. The most recent example would be Brian Dawkins.
While there were many reasons (left knee, concussions), the 7.25 mil he was due in 2010 surely played a factor. I don't see it either. Right or wrong, it's business.
