Dawkins signing refuted

The Dawkins signing which was reported by the San Francisco Chronicle has been refuted. From what I hear it could still happen but hasn't been concluded at this moment.

Dawkins was reported to have signed a two-year deal with Denver in a shocking turn of events. Obviously if that happpened the Eagles didn't value him as much as the Broncos did.

From what I understand, he wanted a two-year deal and the Birds weren't able to give him more than a one-year contract.

It's going to send shockwaves through the city and its fan base and it's going put a lot of pressure on the team's front office.

Many believe that Dawkins is the most popular Eagle and a future Hall Of Famer and I concur.

What is going to be the reaction and the explanation from the Eagles?

How do you let a guy who Andy Reid said he wanted back, leave town like this?

I can tell you that somebody said something or did something that ticked him off. I heard he was very emphatic about saying he was going to test the free agent waters.

The person he said it in a way as if he had been challenged.

The Eagles bluffed Dawkins and he called their bluff.

Buckhalter, Arrington to Denver, Dawkins not done

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.

Late-career guys

always want longer deals.

Makes sense in the NBA and MLB where the money is guaranteed, but here … where Denver can cut him after next year if they want to, it doesn’t seem as logical.

This screams Ewing on the Sonics.
