It was no surprise that the Eagles released Brian Westbrook today. He had one year left on his contract, one where he was owed around $8 mill next season. And he was due a roster bonus of about $3 mill March 1. Given the injuries he has battled the last two years, there was no way the Eagles could give him that type of money. Having suffered two concussions in a one month span last season, it's doubtful anyone else will risk anything other than short money on him in a 1 year deal. Which means there's a good chance he will retire. This video is fantastic. (So is the song.) It reminds us that for two or three years B-Westbrook was the best running back in the league. And he was always a class guy. We will miss him.
