Eagles in a bind
Philadelphia Eagle running back Brian Westbrook is looking for a new contract. The Eagles are in a tough situation with Westbrook turning 29 September 2nd.
The key age for running backs is 30. The reason being that running backs after that age cab raidly lose their skills, due to years of wear, tear, and being tackled.
Westbrook pretty much looked like he carried the team on his back last year. That is defeinately what he is thinking, as he is demanding nearly $10 million a year.
The plain simple fact is that he is almost 30. The Eagles would be nuts to pay him that kind of money.
With that being said, it looks like Westbrook will not be in camp for the whole preseason.
