OK, let me get the straight, the Eagles released their most consistent linebacker from a year ago because they didn’t want to pay him $5 million next year.
Three days later, the Eagles decide to pay Stacy Andrews a $4 million roster bonus despite not showing any indication that he has any brains or can actually play offensive guard.
Stacy Andrews displaying the incredible play that earned him a $4 million roster bonus.
A year ago, the Birds signed Andrews to a multi-year deal that paid him a lot of money. Sure, he was coming off of an ACL injury, but the Eagles were convinced he’d be ready.
All Andrews did was lose his starting spot in Week 2 and then not dress for half the year, even when Jamaal Jackson suffered his own knee injury and the team was down a guard.
On one hand, the Eagles tried to say Andrews just wasn’t ready to play physically last year as he hadn’t completely recovered from his surgery.
However, Andrews himself said he had trouble picking up the Eagles blocking scheme. Of course, as we pointed out last month, that really isn’t a surprise as he scored a 15 on the Wonderlic.
What is a surprise is that the Eagles would continue to piss away money on this guy while not giving cash to guys like Witherspoon or even Brian Westbrook, although we do agree with his release.
One can only wonder if this means Shawn Andrews will again be on the Birds roster as well.
