In typical Eagles fashion they have to ruin the season by screwing over one of their best players.— ej610- The Eagles' have been more than efficient in authoring team-friendly contracts, for the most part. However, rather than giving Westbrook the money he deserved in a timely fashion, they waited, and as a result, were stuck with a non-productive runner for two seasons. Hopefully, they won't repeat that mistake with McCoy.
- Holdout??? Doesn't McCoy still have one year left on his contract??— thechief
- I'm fairly certain that it's impossible to "holdout" without at least one year left on a contract. Chief, would you mind researching that for me, just to be sure?
- Stop with the inflamatory headlines. Everytime people show optimism someone has to rain on the picnic. Wait and see, shall we?— tpizza
- If he is smart, he will hold out. It will be the only meaningful contract he signs in his career asa RB. Look at what happened to guys like Forte. He should hold out and get paid right now. What are the Eagles going to play hardball after last season? Hold out, make them comment publicly about their offer and then get the deal done.— UncleStosh
- They have plenty of money...he will get it. McCoy will not be a nut like Jackson.— Showtime226
- He absolutely MUST hold out until the Eagles offer a Chris Johnson level contract, but I get the sense that a deal will get done before this gets out of hand.— CosmoK
- Its really wierd how you sign a contract and we have people who think its okay to renig on what you signed and hold out? why even bothering siging a contract. And we all remeber what happened to chris johnson wen he held out .was not worth it last season— Lambo1
- I would rather he hold out than be like most of these guys (DJ)that show up and dog it because they can't understand what a contract is and feel like they are being taken advantage of. That type of season for a key player can sink a team.— dennismithusa
- JP's situation is unknown; anyone spitballing an answer is high. The other two questions are just stupid. People, must we take one step forward on Monday only to fall backwards on Tuesday?
McLane's Q and A earlier today was both entertaining and informative - let's do more of that, shall we!— Laughingaloud123 - Lambo1, you are being naive. The NFL contact is unilateral. In other words, it is voidable by the team at any time. They can cut a player and not pay him the balance of his contract. Consequently, players have not moral reason to feel bound to the terms of an unilateral deal. They are unlikely to play the last year of the deal at full bore when if they are injured when they come back the following year their contract may not be renewed and if its is the player's value is diminished. Running backs in particular in the NFL on average have very short careers. They have to make money while they can because they're not in the League very long.— BLUEBELLION
- Again BLUEBELLION why even bother having a contact that neither party has to seriously respect.— Lambo1
- Shady is not going to holdout just another bogus report by Mclane to get you idiots all worked up!— Blessed8251
- let'em -i believe they drafted his replacment anyway!— osi is hurt boohoo
