Sheldon Brown meets with Joe Banner

Comcast sportsnet's Derrick Gunn is reporting that Eagles president Joe Banner and disgruntled CB Sheldon have sat down with one another to clear the air over their recent back and forth in the media.

A source has told CSN’s Derrick Gunn that Brown and Eagles president Joe Banner have met and agreed to let “cooler heads prevail.” No other details regarding the meeting were disclosed.

When Sheldon went public with his contract unhappiness earlier in the season, the Eagles responded with a lengthy statement about basically Sheldon had no right to be unhappy. Then Sheldon fired back, Joe Banner went on TV to respond and so on...

Sheldon has already expressed that he doesn't want continue making a spectacle for the rest of the year. Clearly the Eagles want the same, so hopefully this meeting means we've pretty much heard the last of this contract nonsense... at least for a while.

THanks to BroadStBullies for the fanpost on this and the funny pic he posted with it....

good call.

I think he can get a reworked deal if he plays well and shows to be a bigger man. It will give the FO some good PR. Players would see that they do put the players in first place.

Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!

Thanks for the props!

This is fantastic news though. No good could have come from any further nonsense from either side.

Strange

A few days ago: “They don’t want me in that locker room.” He also suggested Cole, Mikell and others might want new deals.

Today: “I’m going to honor my contract.”

Is anyone else surprised about this change in attitude? Someone must’ve given him a good, swift kick in the ass. But who?

I like to think Banner held a knife to his throat. Joe Banner (aka “Joey Bananas,” aka “Joe Batters,” aka “Hebert Kornfeld”) is straight gangsta.

Herbert Kornfeld

Duuuuuuude, I thought I had heard the last of Herbert. He lives on in the minds and hearts of all who loved him.

If you’ve never heard of Herbert, check it out on www.theonion.com. It was really good.

How about, "we want to trade you ASAFP, but

you’ve gotta quit bitchin’ because we’re only going to do the deal if we get reasonable DC’s for you"?

I had enough of non pro bowl players asking for more money or contract extensions!!!
Sheldon needs to play out his contract, make a pro bowl (or two), become that leader we need on D (know that Dawn is gone). Now if he would perform as a prop bowler, then ask about a new contract!! It is so funny how much players really think they r worth! Hope he gets his head straigh!! Eagles fan’s expect big things this up coming year!! GO BIRDS
