Very true, and I love seeing it. However, this isn't the first time the Eagles have dealt with situations like this. Staley held out of training camp once, Trotter, Douglas, and Emmons all wanted more money than they were worth and were sent packing (the very year after they were voted defensive MVP by their teammates), and Taylor and Vincent weren't given a second glance when they wanted starting CB money just a year ago. Fact is (and this is the part that drives me absolutely insane), it's never come back to bite them in the a$$. Every other time they've had a player demand something of them, they haven't hesitated to say "don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you on the way out".
By no means am I defending the Eagles. I hate the Eagles as much as anyone on this earth can possibly hate them. I literally have to deal with their fans every single day (and everyone knows the worst part about the Eagles is their fans). But if the question is who has done a better job than the Skins at managing the cap? That's my answer. I'd trade their cap situation for ours, and the success they've had over the past 5 years, any day.
