Eagles release RB Westbrook after 8 seasons http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-eagles-westbrook&prov=ap&type=lgns PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Brian Westbrook(notes) was released Tuesday by the Philadelphia Eagles, ending an often-dynamic eight-year run that was marred by various injuries. A former All-Pro, the 5-foot-10 Westbrook led the league in yards from scrimmage in 2007 with 2,104. He rushed for 1,333 yards and accounted for 12 touchdowns that season. But he spent much of last season on the sidelines. Westbrook missed eight games with a pair of concussions and an ankle injury. Westbrook had only two touchdowns in 2009. He was due $7.25 million next season. Eagles coach Andy Reid said he called Westbrook with the news Tuesday morning. Reid said Westbrook should still have an opportunity to play for another team. “Brian is one of the greatest Eagles of all time and he is an even a better person and leader,” Reid said. “In my mind, there has not been a more versatile running back that the NFL has seen.” Westbrook’s season went south on Oct. 26 when his helmet collided with linebacker London Fletcher’s(notes) right knee and he suffered a concussion. Westbrook missed the last five games after suffering his second concussion in three weeks against San Diego on Nov. 15. He was cleared to return for the postseason. He has rushed for 5,995 yards in eight seasons in Philadelphia and caught 426 passes for 3,790 yards. The 30-year-old Westbrook has accounted for 68 touchdowns rushing, receiving and on punt returns. Westbrook, a third-round pick out of Villanova in the 2002 draft, is Philadelphia’s career leader in yards from scrimmage (9,785). He also ranks second in yards rushing (5,995) behind Wilbert Montgomery and third in receptions (426) behind Harold Carmichael and Pete Retzlaff. Westbrook’s 68 total touchdowns are third in team history behind Carmichael and Steve Van Buren. He holds the franchise single-season record for most scrimmage yards in a season (a league-leading 2,104 in 2007) and most receptions in a season (90 in 2007). He eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark 20 times (including playoffs) during his career, tying for second-most in club history. “Brian Westbrook is one of the most electrifying players in the history of this franchise and is certainly also one of the most popular,” Eagles chairman Jeffrey Lurie said. “He was personally one of the my favorite players to watch each and every Sunday and his playmaking abilities, leadership and values will be missed.” ================================================================ 就如我前面文章提到有關2011年停賽的事. 如果今年是沒有薪資上限的話,球隊是可以任意釋出球員而不必擔心後果的. LT跟Westbrook可能只是個開始,接下來會有不少高薪的老球員遭到同樣的命運. -- All I want to do is be next to you Know I want to see is the way you are All I want to feel is the inner sense Lighten up you eyes ------DJ Tatana feat.
