Report: Sheldon Brown requesting trade

by JasonB on Apr 20, 2009 2:27 PM EDT in News Comment 71 comments

WIP is reporting that CB Sheldon Brown has requested a trade from the Eagles. There's been some rumors floating around for a while that Sheldon was looking for more money but he has stayed relatively quiet about the subject.

Could the new contract recieved by Joselio Hanson have been what tipped Sheldon over the edge?

It's easy to Sheldon should just shut up and be happy with the extension he signed a few years ago... but it's also hard to argue with his tactics just a day after seeing the Eagles spend huge money for a guy that was upset with his contract elsewhere.

We'll keep an eye on this story as it develops, but I'm guessing that the rumors of the Eagles taking a CB with the #21 pick will start to heat up. The Eagles have already worked out several of the draft's top CBs this offseason. Sean Smith & Vontae Davis.

i would perfer sheldon and a 4th.

i was thinking about this too.

Not gonna happen

The Cardinals neither want not need a CB. They have Rod Hood, Antrelle Rolle, newly signed Bryant McFadden, and the up and coming star Antonio Rodgers-Cromartie. There is no way that they would take Brown in a trade. They could argue (I would disagree) that Sheldon would be their third CB, so why would they give up their receiver for a 3CB and a 3rd or 4th round pick.

yea i agree

made sense before they signed mcfadden .. hood is a nickle back .. so sheldon cromartie ..with wilson and rolle at saftey made sense .. mcfadden starts now tho .. so no chance

He’s tested. He’s a phenomenal corner. We need him.

Sign his ass to an extension.

Sheldon is a good cover guy, as well as a good tackler and hitter. He is only 30 and at the prime of his career. He should be able to play at his current level for at least 3 more years, and has the skills to slide over to safety when he inevitably loses a 1/2 step.

While I think the FO should extend/compensate him, I have a feeling that they are not going to. I wonder just how far Sheldon is going to go with this. We really seem to have a good squad, it is going to suck going into camp with a key player holding out.

Well...this makes things a lot more interesting

Trade him for Boldin? Trade him for picks and draft a stud corner? Extension for a 30 year old corner?

hahahha

thas a joke ,.. no more than a third .. a second for sheldon would be too high .. the guy is a good corner .. but hes 30 years old .. and this is what happens when u pay asante all that money and sheldon outperfoms him .. havent i been saying sheldons better than asante .. will he wants to be paid like it .. all this means is .. JACK IS COMING lol :-)

by jack is better than asante on Apr 20, 2009 5:17 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

uhh...

just because sheldon wants more money in no way means that he outperformed asante. everyone wants more money, regardless of who they’re outperforming/anyone at all. sure, you could probably find a way to argue that, but this is not the way. when i worked flipping burgers, i wanted more money. i wasn’t outperforming anyone….i just wanted more money.

by eagleyosh on Apr 20, 2009 5:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

yea

it has everything to do with asante .. i think he is the better corner .. sheldon prob thinks he is too .. he is constantly the guy shutting down the opposing teams wr .. he can tackle .. asante is terreble at tackling .. sheldon drops some ints. . asante does have good hands but droped a few too .. so if asante is oppisite me getting paid .. and im every bit as good as him .. than i want to get paid too ..

by jack is better than asante on Apr 20, 2009 5:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

you're missing the point...

even if you think sheldon is better/on par with asante, the argument you used didn’t make sense. it basically said

Asante got paid a lot of money
Sheldon thinks he played better
Sheldon wants more money
Therefore, I was right when I said Sheldon is better, because he thinks so too.

i think both are great, but I was just pointing out the logic you used didn’t really make sense.

by eagleyosh on Apr 20, 2009 5:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

either way

he is still underpaid either way .. and is smart to ask for more money

he has zero value to the Cardinals, and the Eagles shouldn’t be trading away blue chip players to teams for draft picks, they have enough of those already.

where do you draw the line with these guys? look him up for what? for how long? what if he wants $8M a year for 5 more years? that’d be retarded… i posted this elsewhere, but since this will likely be the more traveled post…

if they feel Hanson is up to the challenge, they tell Sheldon to either show up and play or they’ll start fining him… more than likely they’ll dangle the old "conduct detremential" phrase out there as well. He’s only got them over a barrel if they think hanson can’t handle the starting duties (which he did all the games sheppard was hurt).

Additionally, this is bullshit. I know he’s upset because he’s making slightly less than Hanson, but you can’t compare the value of a 2004 contract to the value of a 2009 contract. How many corners in the league in 2004 had contracts paying them an average of $5M per? I’d venture to say not that many. Do these players honestly expect a five year old contract to be worth more annually than a present contract? Then why sign the long term deal? You want long term security and guarenteed money? Fine. But don’t bitch five years from now when your contract doesn’t look all that spiffy anymore… inflation’s a bitch… get over it.

said the same thing

about the “long” contracts.

if you want a 4-5 year deal for “security” (even though you can be cut at any moment), you can’t renegotiate your wage every 2-3 years. if you wanted that to happen, then sign a 2-3 year deal and resign when it’s up.

Sheldon can be replaced

He’s not an elite CB, but above average. He famously drops would-be interceptions and I think his play against the run is overrated. My main concern with him leaving is leadership in the secondary with Dawk gone. If they would trade Sheldon that would leave the birds with a pretty young and inexperienced secondary besides Samuel. Knowing the Eagles history of giving-in to player demands, I doubt anything will happen.

by phillynyc on Apr 20, 2009 3:10 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

In 2006 and 2007, Hanson started almost as many games as Sheppard… I wouldn’t exactly say inexperienced overall… But it would take a huge toll on their depth.

Well...

…my take is they’ll probably keep Brown. I don’t get the sense Brown will be a nuisance the way Lito was, or that he’ll just stop trying like Lito did. That being said…

If the trade offer is really good, or if Jack looks good in training camp, then I could see them moving him.

Also about Brown

for the bulk of his career he’s matched up against No. 2 wideouts when the Birds go man. What an intriguing draft.

by phillynyc on Apr 20, 2009 3:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I completely agree. Leadership will be an issue, but I think depth will be the key problem. Also, who in our secondary is going to strike fear in the hearts of wideouts if we lose Sheldon? Nobody dropped the hammer in that secondary like Dawk, but Sheldon was and is a close second…..so who’s our spine shattering bone crusher if we lose Shelly? I have some real ? marks for this secondary if we can’t lock Sheldon up for another couple years. We have some promising younger guys behind him but I don’t think that they are ready to go full time yet. And for me that includes Hanson. Whatchu guys think?

He is smart to look for a deal right now or a trade that will get him one. At the same time, I am confused by two sentiments being expressed here. I am seeing people talk about him like he is the best corner in the league. I saw him get abused several times. I can think of two high profile instances where he was beaten badly. One was Hixon’s drop in the Giants game. The second was when he was left on an island with Fitzgerald in the Cardinals game. It was easy pickins for a TD. He looked horrible. Yeah, I know it was Fitzgerald but my point is that he is not a top 5 or even a top 10 CB. I definitely do not want to lose him in place of a rookie or even Hanson. At the same time, it would not be as devastating as some people are making it sound.

The other sentiment I see expressed is that he has all the leverage. He has no more leverage than Boldin did in Arizona last year. And most of us agree that he is a pro’s pro. So, I think he plays and plays hard under his current deal even if he remains unhappy about his contract. He is aging and will be expendable soon. He knows that. Nothing bad is going to happen here. He either stays and plays the way we know he is capable of playing or the Eagles take a good deal. No need to panic.

by Dawk on Apr 20, 2009 3:32 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

resign him

as of now, if we lose him, we do not have a solid caliber corner to play #2. Hanson is great, but if more built for the #3 coverage. We need Sheldon who is in the prime of his career, but we also need him to be that kind of ‘glue’ that Dawkins acted as for our defense. Resign in a must!

take a joke, man

sheldon talks in third person, so cavorting was just referencing that. we all love sheldon, but it makes no sense that players should get to B&M every time someone else gets paid more than them. if you don’t think you’ll like a contract 5 years down the road, and it’s a 7 year deal…don’t sign the contract. people will be getting mega deals all over, it’s a given. so if you think you’re worth more, say it before signing a binding legal agreement. I love sheldon, but I don’t see why his playing well makes it ok for him to demand a new contract. he doesn’t get his pay cut when he screws up/misses games…
i think the deal for samuel was a good one. he did what we all hoped he would last year…aka INTs. i don’t know whats wrong with that.

i dont

sheldon outplayed him and he made half of what asante does .. asante is overpaid .. sheldon is a lil under paid .. there both worth about 6.5 to 7 .. but sheldon is now worth 8 if u compare him to asantes deal .. and players have every right to ask for more money .. contracts are not guaranteed .. so if he gets hurt and hes done .. than he dont get paid .. or if he gets cut he dont get paid .. so hes 30 .. this is a SMART MOVE .. sheldon knows what hes doing .. he needs to get paid now before hes 33 and the next shawn springs

by jack is better than asante on Apr 20, 2009 5:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

if he doesn't suck, he won't get cut (unless he's a prick on the magnitude of TO)

asante gets paid like he does because of open market competition. They wanted him, and needed to pay to get him. Only one asante, lots of demand=asante gets paid. We drafted brown, paid him earlier in his career and locked him up long term. sheldon wanted the money, we ggave the money, everyone is happy…no need to outbid others b/c of high demand. Don’t get me wrong, I want sheldon to stay, but I don’t like when players say they’re underpaid. What else can they do besides football?

its called inflation .. dont compare salarys to salarys back there .. thats stupid .. asante makes too much damn money .. sheldon is underpaid .. he will be 33 if he waits and there will be no market for a 33 year old cb .. so when does his pay day come for being a shut down corner .. now .. sheldon will prob hold out if they dont pay him .. they either pay him or trade him .. he deserves more money .. i dont mind players holding out .. you dont undertand .. its a business .. he can get more money .. so go get it .. this shut up and play thing gets old .. the nfl needs guaranteed contracts .. but since they dotn have it players will continue to do this .. i think he gets traded for a third round pick .. they plug hanson in for now .. until jack is ready . .and go on like it never happend .. its the eagles way .. hanson makes more money than him! if you were the starting cb for your team .. and i was the nickle back .. and i made more money than you did .. you would be pretty pissed

Here's the problem

Foos (i think) mentioned it earlier…picture yourself as a young buck with incredible talent. A team offers you a contract for 6 years $50M…that’s pretty good money, but you think about it….hmmm…well, that might be good money now, but I’m a cocky son-of-a-bitch and I’m pretty sure that in 2 years, I’m gonna be the best in the league…so I shouldn’t sign that contract…I should only sign a 2 year deal, prove that I’m the shit, then sign a contract for 5 years $75M…WOW, that’s awesome!

Oh, but what if I sign a 2 year deal and get hurt, and my play declines, I can produce enough not to get cut, but I lost a step…hmmm…maybe I should sign the long-term deal…

These guys wanna have their cake and eat it too. They want long-term security with short-term current market value contracts (only if their current market value is greater than their current pay-scale)…Sheldon’s a bitch for this! If he’s so good, he should have known that (you certainly did Jack), and he should not have signed the long-term deal so there would be a natural breaking point to renegotiate

the last thing the NFL needs is guranteed contracts. guranteed contracts mean one bad free agency move can screw up your team for half a decade. think about it…you sign a guy to a huge contract. he goes out and tears his ACL in his first game and his numbers are half of what you expected them to be for the rest of his career. now this guys getting paid big money to stand on the sidelines holding a clipboard, and the team cant get any money back from him.

you keep saying it’s a business…that argument works both ways. the players are trying to get paid and the owners are trying to make good investments and get paid. if Sheldon Brown can ask Jeffrey Lurie for more money, cant Jeffrey Lurie ask Sheldon Brown to give him back his money if SHeldon signs a big extension and plays like trash?

He has NOT outplayed his contract. When the Eagles offered the extension he was quick to take the money and now should be respectful and play it out. And as far as being a beast…get a clue..he aint nothing close to a beast and at best is a 2nd tier corner. Just like most over-the-top Eagle fans you forget to realize the business side of this. He has 3 yrs left…and NO ONE….not Manning, not Brady, not Westbrook, not McNabb…gets an extension or gets traded with that much time left on a deal. Im so sick of clueless big mouth Bird fans who completely lose any real objectivity when it comes to the business side of football.
