Hobbs: “We’re All Dollar Signs”

In a Monday interview with our pal Monty of Sporting News Radio’s The Monty Show, Eagles cornerback Ellis Hobbs talked about the trade that sent the veteran cornerback to Philly for two fifth-round picks and a half-eaten pack of Nutter Butters. “Everyone is expendable,” Hobbs said. “At the end of the day we’re all dollar signs. Moves need to be made, things need to be done and at the end of the day that’s when you need to be professional about it and know that it’s a business and gone on. Sometimes you don’t fit into their program any more and like I said, unfortunately it was my time, but at the same time fortunately I can go to another team that wants me. Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Hobbs also said that he expected that something was coming, but that he didn’t know when. “I was definitely surprised,” Hobbs said. “I mean like I said I knew something was going to happen, I just didn’t know when. You never know when and how, it’s kind of like somebody that’s about to die. You know they’re going to die eventually but when it hits you it’s kind of like a different impact.”
