All is well with Shawn Andrews

Earlier today PFT reported that a "league source" told them the Eagles have "contacted at least one team" about possibly moving guard Shawn Andrews.

However, the Inquirer's Bob Brookover spoke to the same "source" and found that the report was erroneous.

The Eagles, contrary to what one "league source" is saying, are not contemplating a trade that would send two-time Pro Bowl guard Shawn Andrews elsewhere.

A team source said that today after Philly.com's Eagleterian and ProFootballTalk.com apparently talked to the same source about this issue.

Brookover also inquired about Shawn Andrews' contract situation after his Daily News colleague wondered whether the Big Kid might want a raise...

Furthermore, there is not an issue about Andrews' contract even though he is now making considerably less money than his big brother Stacy and the recently acquired Jason Peters, who was Shawn's teammate at Arkansas.

"He just wants to play ball," Andrews' agent Rich Moran said in a text today. "No contract issue that I know of Bob."

So, I guess the news is... there's no news.

well that's good...

the rumor i heard was andrews, sheldon, and our first rounder would go to the browns for braylon and their first rounder (#5). it wouldn’t make sense to get one andrews and just ship off the other. good teams start with the lines and i think we have solid ones both on offense and defense. we’re just a knowshon away from have a super bowl calibur team.

well he is coming off of a year he didn’t really play in … he might be singing a different song had he made the pro bowl last year.

Yea...thats what I keep saying...

I don’t know of too many players complaining about their contract after missing an entire season…

less we forget

that this man had a mental breakdown and couldn’t play so he’s got no leverage…

On the surface

Hopefully this is the truth coming out and it’s not another Jay Cutler situation. I honestly don’t think that Shawn should be complaining since he sat out all of last season and at this point isn’t in a position to dictate contract since we don’t know what kind of shape he’s in or if he’s fully recovered or has his depression in control again, i presume having family around will help.

Thank god there was nothing to this rumour… Hey i can see why he wants a raise but i do not think he wants to forego the chance to play pro ball alongside his brother.

Problem is ...

… nobody (like literally nobody) rec’s posts. I’ve been doing it since you said that last time, and generally in a whole conversation, my rec’s will be the only ones.

Although I see you have 2 above.

This is good news. We have a great OL now and we should not mess with it. Im still pissed that we missed gonzalez though cause i think we could have filled out hole at TE and gotten a RB in the first round. anyways, good news about andrews. plus, i bet stacey would be pissed as hell if he thought would get a chance to play with his brother and then they traded him.

I HOPE this news is true news.

On the surface he could be saying “yeah i dont want a new contract,” but him and his agent could be doing some in house stuff w/ the eagles. from my understanding sheldon went to the eagles first and then started bitching, not the other way around.
