Philidelphia Eagles to release Brian Dawkins

What does San Diego know about anything? Just Darth Vader running backs moping on the bench. I'll believe it when I see it, but Dawkins is getting up there in age and this is typically when the eagles front office cuts bait. Gotta be a hall of famer in my mind.

They would love that, wouldn't they. I'll believe it when 610 reports it. Tell SD to leave the real reporting to the pros.

610? A reliable source? Aren't these the same people who want to fire Reid and trade McNabb? They have about as much credibility as a late night infomercial.

Anyway, do people actually think we would cut the heart and soul of our D? Does anyone ese notice that people always love to start shit when Philly is down?

Dawkins is one of few eagles that will never be viewed as a overpayed veteran by our front office. There is no replacing what Weapon X brings to the table both ON and OFF the field.

that's hilarious. B Dawk isn't going ANYWHERE.

u answered ur own question when u said "San Diego sports radio"

*sigh* here we go again, more rumor shit :(

Ohhh, well excuuuse me for gettin' pro-active and creating a topic for your omnipotent self to comment on it...

M.L.T.

Yeah, your right...

I mean, Ted Lietner and William "Philly" Worndell are local sports talents here in da' 619, and look where they came from!

M.L.T.

well, i mean, the broncos let al wilson go. they are probably letting him go to free up some cap room. i love brian. if e came to denver, i would buy that jersey in a micro second.

There are not too many 34 year old safeties in the NFL. They could be moving him to make room under the cap so they can pay a wide receiver. Who knows? It's not official yet.

yeah man dawkins is like the best Defensive player on the eagles......hes going nowhere

Hey, if they get rid of Douglas, Trotter (For a 2nd time), Stallworth among many others, then who knows, right?

M.L.T.

dawk the ball hawk goes no where

As an Eagle fan I would hate to see his career come to an end, he's been my favorite player now for years. But as a football fan it's obvious that he's lost a step. I'd like them to keep him as a nickel back or reserve. Maybe guide him into a coaching role?

Brian Dawkins is the pure Defintion of what Philly is.....this is the dumbest rumor ever.........

Nahhh, I've heard worse. How's about tradin' McNabb to Minnesota? Now there's a riot...

M.L.T.

screw who made the rumor. I rarely blog, but i just had to on this one. From a true philly fan to all my other eagles. Long Live Big Dawk!!!!!!!1

Heh, yeah. You sound like a "True" Philly Fan all right. Thanks for your polite input on the matter.

M.L.T.

BDAWK is going know where. He has already said he is going to retire as an EAGLE! Get that through your thick skull! He Even said himself he will be back in 2008. GO EAGLES BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no way EAGLES cut DAWK....He is the only leader left.

I think that this man stands for what Philadelphia syands for. He wears his heart on his sleeve. I believe the Eagles need Dawkins for more then on the football field. Brian Dawkins has been the unofficial player leiutenant role for at least 5-7 years. I think Andy Reid needs him in locker room keeping morale up. keep order, keep the young players focused. Brian Dawkins can keep things in order for Andy reid due to ice getting thinner for Andy Reid. Brian Dawkins is the glue keeping this team together on and off the field. If the Eagles management makes this difficult decision than they know something about football then we the fans due. E veryone shuld stay positive and let Andy have 1 year to proves us wrong and show to everyone he will turn this team around, Back in Playoffs 08-09 season.

Footballs a tough business. I hope the Eagles don't cut Dawkins, but if they do it is probably because his body is hurting from always giving his all. Jesus, even if they do cut him they should hire him as a defensive coach because he is a leader.

Yeah they Trotter go, but his case was different. First off, he wasnt a lifetime Eagle and had two stints with WASH. Also, he was obviously liable in pass coverage and Gaither has hands. And how can you put Donte Stallworth in the same category with Trott and Dawk? That is obviously coming from someone outside Philly, but even non-Philly fans wouldnt do that. You're right, they've made some suprise releases, I agree, but Dawkins is not the next one, not by a long shot.

I agree with you on that one. Just food for thought for everyone to comment on. And I thought since I heard that here and there, I might as well enter this website with such a topic starter.

M.L.T.

Dawkins will retire an Eagle. He redefined the position in the NFL. He's got at least another year or two in him.

what a joke have to see it to believe it dawk bleeds GREEN period he retires an eagle

Would be the biggest surprise in the offseason. Has to be a rumor.

I hope they don't trade Dawkins...

He would be a nice addition to the Giants secondary.

They could use him, we could use him for one year, but he is not goint anywhere. They have to have somelthing to talk about in San Diego to take the heat off of LT and Rivers.

No heat on Rivers now since he risked his knees for a possible upset. And there really shouldn't be any heat on L.T. It's just the media trying to chink the armor of one of the best all around RBs in the NFL.

As for Dawkins, I'm sure they'd purchase his services for two years with an option for a third if he works out. San Diego's needed a major presence back there since Harrison was let go.

M.L.T.

i couldnt care less if we lost dawkins.. hes aging badly and we could use some nice rookie like Kenny Philips or Tom Zbikowski

Thaaat's the spirit. Placing Dawkins riiight there next to Eric Weddle would do wonders for our Super Bowl chances.

M.L.T.

to replace Clinton Hart from? The Philadelphia Eagles! Fun fact: Clinton Hart did not play college football, and now he starts for a championship caliber team, believe it!

p.s. Dawkins ain't going nowhere, Eagle 4 life.

Very true. He played Arena Football.

M.L.T.

Yeah right I bet you loved guys like matt mccoy too huh? remember safety rashard cook? lets not give up anything until we have a suitable replacement plus dawk has openly said he had a bad year and he gunna work harder than ever to make sure he goes out at his best..... Dawkins is Philly him being on the field is MAgIC end of story

a lot of people say that the patriots are gonna win the super bowl but there wrong its gonna be the cheifs baby its there year chiefls all the way larry johnson baby and quaterback trent green yeah

It's always nice to dream.

Yeeeeeaaaahhhhh riiiiiighhhhht. Being a Giant fan I obviously don't care much for the Eagles but I know their fans and they would absolutely go apeshit on the FO if this happened. This is just more crap to stir up the masses. Might as well be the National Enquirer reporting it.

Call the papparazzi so they can follow Dawk around and constantly give us his whereabouts.

BDAWK has some good football left in him and the Eagles ain't gonna let him play it elsewhere, if nothing else, they'll use him to mentor the next FS in the Eagle fold!

no way do thet release him.

Brian Dawkins isnt going anywhere he is staying with the Eagles

Amen.

The timing of his neck injury was so suspect to me. It was right after Kelly or what ever that poor kids name from Buffalo is and i'm sure Dawk watched the tape and cringed like we all did. I just can't help but think a decision is made by all to end his career for sure after the 08 season if not prior to the begining of 08. The draft will tell us alot. They would not hang Dawk out there, it would kill the fan base to loose a leader in a similar fashion as Trot was lost last year.

I never could figure out why they got rid of Trotter in the first place. That guy was definitely a leader on that defense.
