Peters is the best LT in the NFL and was a major factor in the sucess of the run game last year. McCoy deserves the coin for sure though.

Higher than that would be stupid given the RB market.

Do you have a reference to this, “Eagles contend that they are a passing and not a running team, therefore they don’t owe him Peterson money”? I have seen a number of writers contend that the Eagles won;t pay him AP money, but when did the team say this?

“So now you pay the man what he’s worth, not according to how much you plan to use him in 2012 esp. when you expect to water down the running game. But, that’s our penny pinching Eagles.”

I didn’t hear the Eagles say they want to water down the running game. They want to give McCoy fewer touches in order to extend his career. To help in that endeavor, they have brought in a couple rookies RBs (and Ronnie Brown last year although that didn’t work out.) Also, part of the contract negotiation does involve how you want to use a guy. As for penny pinching, I just saw them give DeSean Jackson a pretty nice contract.

Enough with the hate. They might not always spend money wisely, but they spend a lot of it…. Can’t fault them for being smart negotiators….

Yet, the Eagles ran the ball right up there with the Vikes and Texans last year when Shady accumulated big totals. So now you pay the man what he’s worth, not according to how much you plan to use him in 2012 esp. when you expect to water down the running game. But, that’s our penny pinching Eagles.

Shady’s cuts & tackle breaking ability (best RB in NFL at breaking tackles) are ridiculous & McCoy needs to get signed asap . Not many people could replace Brian Westbrook in the Eagles offense , but Lesean did it seamlessly..
