San Francisco Chronicle reports Dawkins signs with Broncos

Get used to dealing with hard-hitting safety Brian Dawkins twice a year: he just agreed to a deal with the Broncos, a league source said, bringing some muscle to the mostly athletic AFC West.
The perrenial Pro Bowler is 35 but should have another year or two in the tank. He's the sort of tough and on-target safety the Raiders have been missing for years. As it turns out, they won't have a chance of signing him now.
If this true, the Eagles have some explaining to do.
[Note by JasonB, 02/27/09 5:34 PM EST ] Moments live on NFL Network Adam Schefter confirmed that the Broncos signed both S Renaldo Hill and WR Jabar Gaffney, but said they are still talking to Dawkins, as are the Eagles. He did not confirm this report.
[Note by JasonB, 02/27/09 5:46 PM EST ] Howard Eskin just reported that Dawkins' agent has confirmed that he has not signed yet. He couldn't confirm that it wouldn't happen, just that it has not yet.
[Note by JasonB, 02/27/09 6:25 PM EST ] CBS4 in Denver are refuting the report
Despite a report in the San Francisco Chronicle that the Broncos have reached an agreement with Dawkins, there are no indications that any sort of deal has been done.
The NFL Network reports that Dawkins will talk to the Broncos, but still plans to speak with his current team in Philadelphia.
[Note by JasonB, 02/27/09 7:04 PM EST ] From rotoworld
According to ESPN.com's Bill Williamson, a source close to the situation denies that a Brian Dawkins press conference has been scheduled for Saturday in Denver. Media outlets are picking up on the San Francisco Chronicle's original report -- and Dawkins may still sign with the Broncos -- but the deal isn't done yet.
[Note by JasonB, 02/27/09 7:41 PM EST ] Now the refuting reports are pouring in. Now from Adam Schefter by way of PFT
Contrary to reports linking free-agent Eagles safety Brian Dawkins to the Denver Broncos, Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the deal "definitely" isn't done. "He's in the air, on plane, not even in Denver yet," Schefter says.
So after all that he wasn't even in Denver?

I. HATE. THE. EAGLES. FO.
This is surreal. Eventhough I kind of felt it comin. I’m crying.
By disrespecting Dawkins, they are disrespecting me and you.
what i really wanna know is...
why didnt Dawk come back and see if we should match the offer??
DeSEAN JACKSON THE ONE
Good luck to him
and to my Eagles. This was a football decision and sentimentality has no place in the NFL. I can’t say it was the wrong decision, although time will tell.
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." - Bear Bryant
goodbye
i loved dawkins as a player and will always remember him as the soul of the philly defense, but in the end, it was a football decision. sad, but i don’t blame the eagles.
As tears stream down my face
I will reserve judgment until I see our Defense this season. They were right about Troy Vincent, Bobby Taylor and Jeremiah Trotter. It doesn’t make it any less sad, but this day had to come eventually….
by DownHillBradley on Feb 27, 2009 5:11 PM EST up reply actions
+1
I agree, Dawkins is by far my favorite player as well, but to go back beyond the Trotter thing, this is the same reaction that everyone had about letting Bobby Taylor and Troy Vincent go (both in the same year) when Vincent was the emotional leader of the D and both were recent pro bowlers. They were both replaced by pro bowlers in their second year in the league and Dawkins took over as the leader. Now Dawkins will be replaced by a second year player that the FO has faith in (Demps) and I am sure someone else will step up as the new leader… Brown, Cole, Bunkley, Patterson… sucks, but the FO has earned the right for us to wait and see how it ends up.

Verbose in style, dispersion of thought, procrastination in life.
he’s a good player, but he’s not the player he once was. all of us are upset because he was the heart of the team. I hope he does well for you and wish him well, but just remember, he’s not the unmovable force he used to be.
he will still run circles around the two yahoos we started last year.

Not buying it. Seriously, a San Francisco source that reports on the Raiders is the first to report a Broncos FA signing? I call bullshit.

Take your perennial cock chocking ass out of here. You can’t even make the playoffs when Cockuly hands you a spot.
By disrespecting Dawkins, they are disrespecting me and you.

Seriously, we need a guy like Dawkins if we are ever to see a place like the playoffs again.

I apologize.
I am showing a great deal of respect by letting you guys know how happy I am that we landed such a great player in Dawkins. Would you be less angry with me if I came over here and bitched about how we signed that piece of shit Dawkins guy from Philly?
If any team NEEDED a guy like Dawkins…its us Broncos okay? lol

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we’re done responding to you. Seriously, guys, ignore the jackass and he’ll go away. If you keep giving him attention, he’ll keep coming back. We’ve already expressed that he’s a fucking moron, nothing more needs to be said. GO TEAM IGNORE!
I am the people's troll :3™
Funny
Both of our original posts were positive in nature not trash talking. Dawkins rocks. I’m not an Eagles fan and I know that 100%.
I like how you guys all start dropping F-bombs all over the place but we are the guys being jackasses.

Please change the Wikipedia sight back
If wikipedia doesn’t report this it won’t be true. Like a time machine that takes us back…. oh wait we can also say that Trotter just signed with us and is still in his prime and we actually won the superbowl in 2004. I like fantasy much better than reality right now.

Schefter was just on NFL live and said a deal in NOT done. He says they’re talking to him.
He also reported that the Broncos signed safety Renaldo Hill and WR Jabar Gaffney.

don't want you guys to get the wrong impression of Broncos fans
and of course there is still hope that Dawk stays in Philly, but if Dawkins does go to the Broncos, know that it is a fan base that can really care about him, too. That would be TWO huge fanbases that give total props to Dawkins as an all-time great, and that won’t be bad for him at all.
For myself, Dawkins is easily one of the best all-time players I have ever had a chance to see. I love Atwater, Lynch was gentleman, but Brain Dawkins is the Greatest. Safety. Ever. I would love to see him give our defense some respectability.
The downside is retiring as an Eagle, and regardless of what goes down, I really hope that is in the cards for Brian.
Just wanted you guys to know that the majortiy of Broncos fans can appreciate just how great of a sigining it is, and understand what kind of a loss it would be for you guys.

If it was true, would it take 5+ hours for this report to be confirmed? I think its reasonably safe to assume that Dawkins got an offer, and has taken it back to the Eagles. Everything now rests in whether the Eagles match. Let’s hope…..

CBS4 in Denver
Despite a report in the San Francisco Chronicle that the Broncos have reached an agreement with Dawkins, there are no indications that any sort of deal has been done.
The NFL Network reports that Dawkins will talk to the Broncos, but still plans to speak with his current team in Philadelphia.

So nothing is official? ESPN is analyzing the impact of the loss of Dawkins to the Eagles right now. If nothing has been confirmed, then fuck them.
Well this is entertaining to read.
Bronco and Eagle’s fans fighting, haven’t seen that before. Seems like Dawkins is going to let the Eagles try and match whatever offer he gets.

Quaker … that sounds like a plan.
You do have to think that a career Eagle would give them a chance to match … and from the way the front office speaks about him, I think he’s one of the 3 guys (along with mcNabb and Westbrook) that they’d never let go.
Then again, these guys always let go too soon than hang on too long. It hasn’t backfired on them once yet.

Media outlets are picking up on the San Francisco Chronicle’s original report — and Dawkins may still sign with the Broncos — but the deal isn’t done yet.
Even as a fan of a different team even I am pissed off the Eagles are doing this
I’m just waiting for Donovan to ask for a trade.

Even if the FO really is being a bunch of dicks, why Denver? At this point in his career he should be looking for a ring if he doesn’t come back to Philly right? He’s not getting one in Denver….

DAWKINS NOT DONE IN DENVER
Posted by Mike Florio: Friday, February 27, 2009 7:08 PM
Contrary to reports linking free-agent Eagles safety Brian Dawkins to the Denver Broncos, Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the deal “definitely” isn’t done.
“He’s in the air, on plane, not even in Denver yet,” Schefter says.
Earlier in the day, David White of the San Francisco Chronicle reported that an agreement was reached.

Have they reported it on their site? Im not doubting you but all i have found is Bill Williamsons blog refuting that he has signed.
over at Milehighreport.com they had a link to ESPN
that showed Dawkins as a signee along with our other pick ups. ESPN is worthless though…if I had to bet money on it, Dawkins won’t be a Bronco this year. God damn agents and their gimmicks.

if this is a gimmick that agent should stay out of philly…he threw us into a frenzy, and supposively dawkins is in the air still
I don't like being a stooge.

But let’s assume he has not signed but it close. How can we ensure Dawkins, his agent, and Banners sees this blog.

Cleveland has an opening with SS Sean Jones unsigned.
Philadelphia has an opening at FS with Brian Dawkins headed for Denver.

Adam Schefter
Buckhalter, Arrington to Denver, Dawkins not done
Posted: Adam Schefter | Adam Schefter | Tags: Brian Dawkins, Correll Buckhalter, Denver Broncos, J.J. Arrington
Free agent safety Brian Dawkins does not have a deal with the Broncos right now, contrary to reports. He is in the air and on the way to Denver right now. The Broncos do, however, have agreements with running backs Correll Buckhalter and J.J. Arrington.
Rob Wetmore
Leading Edge Martial Arts
www.leadingedgema.com
So how much do you guys think this actually
hurts the Eagles on the field if Dawkins leaves? He is a declining player but it seems his leadership would be missed.
"If your good at something never do it for free." - The Joker
From PFT
Contrary to reports linking free-agent Eagles safety Brian Dawkins to the Denver Broncos, Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the deal “definitely” isn’t done.
“He’s in the air, on plane, not even in Denver yet,” Schefter says.
there really is hope
just got off the phone with David White, the San Francisco Chronicle reporter who posted a couple hours ago, saying Brian Dawkins had agreed to terms with the Denver Broncos.
Here’s the deal: White is not reporting that Dawkins has signed a contract with the Broncos. He actually never reported that. White is told by a source that Dawkins has “agreed to terms” on a deal. Many of us took this to mean a deal had been finalized, but there is obviously a major difference if you look at the wording closely.
As of right now, no one (that I’ve found) has reported that Dawkins has signed a deal. And White is still the only reporter I’ve found that says Dawkins has agreed to terms. The bottom line is that it appears nothing has been finalized, although White sticks by his source that a deal is in place.
White said I’m the only person from Philadelphia who hasn’t cursed at him today, and I appreciate him taking the time to get in touch with me after I sent him an initial e-mail.
He ends his most recent blog post with:
And please, Brian Dawkins, sign the deal with the Broncos and don’t go Bart Scott on me.
So, to clarify White’s report one last time: Dawkins has agreed to terms, but he still has the option to change his mind.

Verbose in style, dispersion of thought, procrastination in life.

Hey Moon Unit...!
That may have just been posted, it’s video from ESPN cable over 2 hours ago. Obviously premature.

by the way...
I notice that G Cobb stil has his “Dawkins Signing Confimed” story posted.
I don’t really folllow him or his website really. Will he retract it or is he pretty much not trustworthy or what?
Looking Mean in Kelly Green
gcobb = vision loss

Latest on Lito trade?
Comcast Sportsnet reports Lito to meetwith Jets position coach on Saturday for – get this – a 5th round pick this year AND a 2nd, 3rd or 4th next year (depending on playing time. Isn’t he worth mor than this?
Ugh. I read a low first/early second a couple of minutes ago
guess they really lowered their asking price. I say let him rot on the bench as insurance until someone ponies up.
Send GT Green packing.

Derrick Gunn says "It's true"
Again…according to Comcast SportsNet, Derrick Gunn did some “checking” and says that it is true, Dawk WILL sign with Denver. This totally sucks! I don’t think anybody really knows what’s going on but B-Dawk. I wish someone from his camp will post something and just put us out of our misery already.
Totally agree
If those old farts on capital hill can use twitter, why can’t bdawk, his agent, or the eagles? Why can’t us? hahaha

this whole thing sucks
ive been through some rough times as an eagles fan… but this ranks up there with the worst.
I just dont the think the FO realizes how much the fans idolize this guy… it wouldnt even matter if he only played special teams. He’s been the true face of the franchise for a long time. A true class act in the NFL
but i dont get it… He wants a ring right? Theres no way his chances are better in denver!
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES
This doesn't sit well with me
nothing about this whole situation does why would he leave? The eagles are more of a contender than the broncos, maybe its for the easy teams he will play twice a year, but REALLY, REALLY? As for the people saying the FO made a sound move and we should trust them and emotions should not overrule business sense. How the fuck could this have hurt us, REALLY? he was a pro bowl player, a player fans idolize and the leader of the team. If this is true it will be worse than seeing brett favre in a different shade of green last year. The FO should bend over backwards for him, call him and say we are sorry it took so long we extend a contract for however long you want and its a blank check fill in what you feel is fair. Keep him in Philly otherwise baby angels will die and the world will come to an end. REALLY you let it get this bad FO REALLY? REALLY???
No kidding. This is bigger than live game threads. What a shame… what a damn shame.

i turned on the t.v. when i got home from work and was immediately ill.
this is sacrilege. past that, they must be fucking joking if they think demps is going to fill any kind of void. the guy can’t tackle. he doesn’t intimidate anyone. this is some sort of sick fucking joke…….that being said, what the fuck have the eagles done yet? have they signed anyone?
Here it is
http://blogs.nbcsports.com/home/archives/2009/02/dawkins-finally-a-done-deal-in.html
I don’t want breakaway speed. I want break-some-poor-fool-as-I-bowl-you-over power getting 6 yards off a play that should have been stopped for 2 at most.
I cant even bring myself to post he is gone on my blog
it is not a done deal yet many reports say dawk is gone but there are still many close to the team that say he could still be back here. I can not put he is gone on my blog i can do it check it out http://phillysportspride.com/?p=946
