It’s not really a report, it’s a comment from a former player on a radio show. But who expects any different from Florio? I don’t recall anyone from the organization speaking I’ll of Aso.

lets get real…….eagles went out and signed the dream team, which has now put them in a cap quandary in future years……Vick was willing, however I don’t expect Nnamdi to do the same…why promise the guy the moon, and then tell him no can do, and if he doesn’t like it, he can pull the parachute cord…he should bail, and hopefully he lands back home.

—————————————————————————–

Cap quandary in future years? After cutting Mike Patterson and Cullen Jenkins, the Eagles will have 35 million in cap space. If they do end up letting Nnamdi go, they will gain another 11.3 million in cap space. Such a quandary.

Of course, this is also because of his poor play. If he played like he used to (in Oakland) and did this, no would really care. But since his play has been so terrible, it’s a bigger deal than what it would have been.

All that should matter is performance on the field. If I’m his teammate, and I want him gone because he didn’t socialize with me at lunch, I would be a total idiot.

However, if I don’t think he helps us win on the field and there are better or equal options, then I might want him gone.

When Andy Reid was fired, Jeffery Laurie was honest about where things went wrong. This organization collected a bunch of individuals (misfits, if you will) that have issues bonding as a member of a bigger unit called a TEAM. That is the missing link, here. Team-concept players.

I really don’t care where he ate his lunch. The bottom line is he has been a major disapointment for the last two seasons. It’s time to for him to go.

If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t he a Rhodes scholar in college? The guy doesnt fit in with co-workers that got 800 on their SATs and took basketweaving in college and were supposed to be surprised? Old story, move along.

Wow, lots of people on here eat lunch alone in their cars. I consider myself introverted, but never even thought about going out to me car to eat lunch.

Dude is a great corner who changed systems at the wrong time with the wrong team. There’s no stability in Philly, and there’s no Safety game.

Team is falling apart, you better hope that Chip Kelly can turn this ship around, because if Vick can’t do it, it’s gonna be a loooooooooong season for you.

So What? He wanted to eat lunch in his car and listen to the Radio for a few minutes.

The other thing is that before you throw this guy in the trash bin, just remember what this defense did up front. IE- Everyone rush the QB, Don’t worry about stopping the run. What did that create? Constant stress on DB’s stopping the run…

Did you guys know every year he takes a group of kids to tour college campuses? When he was in Oakland, he still drove his beat up Maxima.

Dude is not selfish or aloof. There is nothing wrong with alone time. More people need to do it. You’ll be amazed at what it does for your mental state of mind and health.

DeSean Jackson had his “me” time on the field, so this is nothing when put in perspective.

Maybe it is a rumor? I have yet to see the player lay claim to the comment, so as far as I am concerned, he never even said it. Of course the media will run with it and that comment will be attached to the player for the rest of his life because some readers believe everything they read. Oh well. Horses mouth or it was never said.

Nnamdi, Nnamdi, Nnamdi… You had plenty of alone time during the games… You were left alone because receivers blew by you… And I am an Eagles fan…I would not give him my salary to play this year…

He ate lunch in his car to count the millions he ripped from the Eagles.

___________________________________

what about the millions the eagles have ripped from their fans over the last 53 years of not producing a championship? So please save it, if any team deserves to be ripped off is the eagles this couldn’t have happened to a better classless oragnization if you ask me.

It’s okay if he leaves! Nnamdi threw Juan Castillo and Todd Bowles under the bus and played like crap!!!

If the players felt that he stabbed his coaches’ backs by all means release him!!!

That’s why you build through the draft and have players grow together. There’s no camaraderie between front running mercenaries.

He probably just wants to back the AFC west where he can play against the chiefs and San Diego twice a year. Let’s face it, if you had to play against Nicks and Cruz and Bryant and Austin and an emerging Redskins wr corps twice a year, you’d probably look pretty sorry too.

I used to do that at my last job, but that was because my co-workers were lazy gossips and I didn’t like them. No way the Eagles are like that…

I don’t blame him at all. Do some time in county lock up. No offense but the brothers never shut up. Ever. All day, all night. I would’ve eaten in the bathroom to get some peace.

Nnamdi has been flat out terrible. He has been pointing fingers at other guys (literally, pointing at other guys) after he gets beats for TDs even when he clearly had one-on-one. There were certainly cases where the safeties blew it, but there were plenty on Nnamdi as well, and he would still blame others.

Nnamdi was visibly lost on about 1/3 plays. Didn’t know what he was supposed to do. He committed terrible PI and holding penalties and got beat like a drum.

Please… the Eagles aren’t poising anything. Hollis is calling out Nnamdi the same way he does other players (you should hear his opinion on Watkins based on feedback from players around the league).
