We need to pay him
Because he’s reliable, a professional, a hard worker, and never ever ever misses a game.
We need to pay him even if we don’t extend him. Give him more money ASAP.
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
They should move him to Safety
He knows the system, and also has the ability to cover.
Reid- Best Coach in Eagles History
McNabb- Best QB in Eagles History
This is the year
Only if we draft a corner
in the early rounds

Great quotes in there from Sheldon and the kind of guy you want on the team.

PAY THE MAN!!
Sheldon had been a true lockdown corner, and has earned a contract extension IMO. We’ve been very fortunate to have a string of lockdown corners ever since Eric Allen.
"Backs in the 'I'...First and 10...McNabb, play action. Is back again. He is looking..he is going deep. He wants DeSean Jackson..who HAS IT!!! HE HAS IT!!! AND STEPPED INTO THE ENDZONE!! He took it away from the defender!! He took it away from Dominique Rogers-Cromarte, and ran into the endzone!!"

Guess he's using the honey approach over the vinegar approach of last offseason
Hope it works for him.

Sheldon Brown is the best player in the Eagles secondary
I’ll take lockdown cover corners like Sheldon over big play, mediocre tackling and cover corners like Asante Samuel any day of the week.
im just blessed to see so many great corner we had this decade
Desean Jackson- Im Number 1, the real deal, The 1(0)ne to Watch.
Interview while at Cal.
Just to play Devil's advocate
The Eagles have been pretty good when it comes to cutting ties with older vets who are close to hitting the proverbial wall, even when those vets were well liked by the fanbase (see Vincent, Troy and Taylor, Bobby).
I for one hope they keep Sheldon, but the money he expects and what the Eagles actually think he is worth as someone who will be 31 years old going into the 2010 season may not be that close. If nothing else, we could really use his veteran leadership in the secondary next year though, regardless.

2010 Plan: Take BWest’s $11.1Mil – beef up Sheldon’s $2.8Mil and Sign Avant and Weaver.

That's just tough.
Sheldon needs to be resigned. If that line of exceptional character and quality is to still run through our secondary, it runs through him.
Avant has developed into a reliable third-down receiver who is exactly where you need him to be when you need him to be there – and won’t shy away from a ball because a hit is coming.
Weaver – Weaver is one of the primary reasons we had as good a season as we did. He’s like the fullback version of healthy Westbrook. Need to resign him.
But dropping BWest. Looking at his face after the loss. I know the injuries and the Eagles history with veterans, however loved, but Do It for Dawkins is Do It for Westbrook now. I wish the front office could find a way to give these guys non-standard contracts. Really low base salary with a ton of incentives and escalators, for the point of keeping the leadership on the team without overpaying for guys who are clearly not what they used to be. I absolutely hated to see Dawkins go without a ring, and BWest the same. His run through the NFL as an undersized back with injury problems to how incredible he has been – and never a word about it, just business and leadership.

At the end of the day – BWest is on the books fo $11.1Mil next season, as it stands currently. Slice it anyway you want but I don’t see a scenario where he collects this from us.

Not crazy
About the Eagles signing Brown to a lengthy extension to play CB. Wouldn’t mind seeing him play 1 year at CB and then get shifted over FS potentially.
How the Eagles choose to address the FS position this year is likely going to greatly affect Sheldon’s future with the team.
i agree 2 a certain extent..............
i would love 2 hav sheldon back but at FS, he really showed his cover skills are declining in the cowboys games, he still can hit like a truck tho.

I hope his attitude doesn't change.
I don’t see us getting rid of him, but honestly its not very often our FO will rework someones contract with more than two years on it. I see him making it through the 2010 season and then getting his contract re-worked, depending on his production. He’s supposed to be making around $500K less in 2010 than he has this year… so hopefully him and the FO can figure something out. I definitely want to keep him around for awhile.
