Why do the Eagles want to get rid of this guy?
Found some interesting facts about Lito, he is a clutch player:
Lito has two of the top 3 longest interception returns in the NFL. He has an 101 yd and 102 yd interception return for TD's.

He leads the NFL in Average INT Return Yards since 2003
Player
1. Lito Sheppard INT's 17 Avg 27.1
2. DeAngelo Hall (Atl.) INT's 17 Avg 25.8
3. Ed Reed (Bal.) INT's 29 Avg 24.6
4. Mike McKenzie (NO) INT's 15 Avg 22.9
5. Chris McAlister (Bal.) INT's 12 Avg 22.1
That is a great group of DB's

Of Sheppard's 17 career INTS…
3 have ended the game
4 have come in the 4th quarter of a ""close game""
8 have resulted in TDs (3 returns)
8 have come in the 4th quarter (4 in the final 2 minutes)
10 have come in ""close games"" (+/- 7 points)
9 have come inside the Eagles 10-yardline (4 in the endzone)

Not Bad.
