Sheldon Brown a no show
Bob Brookover
Sheldon Brown decided this was the time and place to display his contract discontent.
After verbally going public with his unhappiness about his contract situation in April, the Eagles' cornerback still showed up for the team's mandatory post-draft camp. He did not report today for the start of the Eagles' eight-day voluntary camp.
Brown, according to a Comcast report, had a meeting to air his differences with team president Joe Banner last month, but he's obviously still unhappy enough about his situation that he did not want to attend this camp.
An Eagles spokesman said Brown was the only player who did not report. Attempts to reach Brown yesterday were unsuccessful.
More to come later.

In case people have not noticed, the Cards have no intent to trade Boldin, and they never did. They dangled his name in trade talks to attempt to prove to him that he was not as valuable as he thought. They succeeded. He won't be going anywhere.— montgomeryhopkins- 5isaking, you my freind are an idiot!!! How are the Eagles cheap??? They have proved that they will spend they money for the right players. Last year everyone wanted the Eagles to go after Roy Williams, look how that worked out. Look at Boldins numbers over the last 4 years, they have gone down every year and you want to trade one of the BEST young guards in the game for an aging WR. If we have any chance at winning we need Andrews, the Eagles have what could be the best O-line in football. WOW, maybe you should stop listen to WIP and start to thinking for your self! Don't you think there is a reason not one team has traded for this so called great WR???— luke5513

- Sheldon, did you forget what happened to Lito? You are a commodity. I know it hurts, but everyone can be replaced. I guess Ellis Hobbs was laughing this morning when he automatically took your spot this morning.— CSFurious
- Excellent photo showing the massive separation between Brown and Fitzgerald on a goal line fade pattern. Brown is average to above-average at best; he isn't the elite corner he or his agents would have us believe. Boldin isn't being dealt, so let's stop with that train of thought altogether. I would like to see if the Browns are willing to part with Edwards for a reasonable package.— kimbo39
- It's really sad to hear Philly fans mock someone with depression. It's also slightly ignorant, since depression is a serious disease too. Guess that doesn't seem to matter in Philly.— heathindc1
- Hey Heathinkc1 - Calling someone depressed who is depressed, ISN'T mocking him! So go back to Dallas and cry there. We don't need to hear your sorry excuses to complain about Philly Fans.— ChrisM

- I like to think that voluntary means voluntary. BUT if every player except one shows up, it dont sound very voluntary to me.— Flackattack
- Both browns to some team for draft choices. That would be fair to both losers and give the Eagles some shots at new blood down the line. Boldin is not coming here. Stop that old chestnut.— KGKoons
- Now that's a bad career move on Browns' part. Holding out just never works with the Eagles.— FKD215
