Shawn Andrews is giving me dejavu
You all may remember last year when Shawn Andrews missed a good portion of training camp due to an ankle injury. The Eagles insisted it was a simple sprain and nothing to worry about whereas Andrews was getting teary eyed an asking people to pray for him... The whole thing led Les Bowen of the Daily News to find some unnamed doctor to talk about some sort of serious ankle condition that Andrews could possibly have. It was all very dramatic...
In the end, Andrews was fine and claimed he was just joking with everyone.
If you like to re-live last year's Andrews drama, check out my 4 part coverage of it from that time.
Is Shawn Andrews just being dramatic?
Is Shawn Andrews just being dramatic" Part 2
Is Shawn Andrews just being dramatic" Part 3, seriously it looks like he is
and of course the penultimate...
Was Shawn Andrews just being dramatic? Part 4, he says yes
This year, it's starting to feel eerly similar. Marty Morningwheg was asked if the "personal reasons" that kept him out of some offseason mincamps were the same that were keeping him out now"
"I can say this is a little bit related to that," Moran said. "It's not 100 percent related, but there's a little tie-in."
What is he talking about? What does that even mean? Then we get this cryptic stuff from Dave Spadaro
Andrews' story is a strange one, and in the coming days I'm sure the reasons for his absence will become clear. I spoke to him on Thursday night, wished him the best of luck and hoped everything works out for him.
"In time, it will be," said Andrews.
This story better be real strange and we better find out what is was real quick... Either that or he needs to get into camp and cut this nonsense. If it is really something serious, then I feel bad for the guy... but most reports suggest that whatever is going was not bad enough in the Eagles mind to warrant him missing camp. He's been placed on the injured/did not report list and presumably will be fined by the team for every day he misses.

For me, I think we should investigate trading him
He wasn’t that good last season and got to the Pro-Bowl on reputation rather than performance.
We have Jean-Gilles who can be a road-grader alongside Runyan or either Gibson or McGlynn can step up.
I am fed up of hearing the squealing of selfish players. Nobody forced them to sign their original contracts which were generous when they signed them and nobody placed a gun to their heads to do so.
If their willingness to play for the team is dominated by their personal greed above their desire to get the Eagles to the Championship game/Super Bowl then they should be moved on, for either draft picks or for players who are not motivated by the size of their wallets.

They’re saying that whatever his issue is, it’s not related to his contract.

WTF?
I can’t believe he has not even given a general reason for his absence.
Sick relative, family problem, loose screw…. F-ing something.
Give us a damn good reason or get your ass to camp Andrews.
The road to victory!

i read that he has emotional issues
I also read that the Eagles actually did consider trading him because he has had this emotional issue in the past. But now that this is in the open, I doubt that he’ll be traded.
