Eagles guard Stacy Andrews, who arrived via a big-money contract in 2009, has heard the talk that he could be traded or cut. The arrival via trade of guard Reggie Wells from the Cardinals has served only to fuel the chatter. And Andrews doesn’t like it.
“I felt like I was pretty solid in there [against the Chiefs in Week Three of the preseason], but I guess they felt otherwise,” Andrews said Friday, per Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News.
Andrews also doesn’t sound happy that he was moved from tackle to guard. “I would not have signed here from the jump [to play guard],” he said. “I signed to play right tackle.”
The former Bengal further hinted that he would have told the Eagles to shove it if he had known when reducing his pay for 2010 that he wouldn’t be in the starting lineup.
“Howie [Roseman] reassured me I would be the guy at right guard,” Andrews said. “I wouldn’t have signed [the reworked deal] to be the third guy.”
Though Andrews’ statements don’t exactly build leverage for the Eagles, they build momentum for a possible trade. To find out whether it happens, we recommend repeated mashing of the “F5" button.
