Former Bird retires and current player traded

According to ESPN sources, Pro Bowl CB Asante Samuel was traded today to the Atlanta Falcons, details on what the Eagles will receive have yet to be released.

On another note, Former Philadelphia Eagles Safety Brian Dawkins announced his retirement monday after 16 seasons in the NFL.  As a football fan, and as a fan of the Eagles, Brian Dawkins will be remembered as a legend in Philadelphia.  Dawkins was a role model for how young athletes should play the game, passionate, emotional, and relentless.  Every play was 100mph until the whistle, he played for a cause, he played for his teammates, his coaches,  his city, and his family.  Every team needs a "Brian Dawkins".

  1. 'Every team needs a Brian Dawkins'? Maybe a 'Brian Dawkins' type player is a better way to phrase that. There is only one Brian Dawkins.
