Despite earlier reports, the Eagles are saying they are not shopping offensive lineman Shawn Andrews.
The news that they were came as somewhat of a surprise as the Eagles signed
both Andrews brother (Stacey Andrews) and his college roommate (Jason Peters), both O-linemen, this off-season.
However, according to a story earlier this week by the Philadelphia Daily News’ Les Bowen, Andrews might be unhappy with his current contract. Andrews signed a 10-year, $35.5 million deal in 2006. He is now making considerably less than both his brother and his roommate.
That being said, Andrews’ agent, Rich Moran says his client is happy to be an Eagle and ready to play ball.
“He just wants to play ball,” Moran said in a text today to the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Bob Brookover. “No contract issue that I know of Bob.”
The news about Andrews comes amid a firestorm over cornerback Sheldon Brown’s recent demands to be traded. The pro-bowl corner has said he is unhappy with his deal, signed just two years ago, and has been trying to renegotiate with the Eagles for over a year. The Eagles have emphatically said no to restructing his deal and no to trading him.
Never a dull moment.
