Eagles release Shawn Andrews

Shawn Andrews' rollercoaster run with the Philadelphia Eagles is over.

The team announced the move, which only comes as a surprise because of the timing. Andrews underwent back surgery again in December, and his status for training camp was uncertain at best.

Conventional wisdom was that the Eagles would see how his recovery went before deciding whether to pay him another $2 million in 2010.

Andrews' toughness and motivation was questioned in Philadelphia at times during his recovery from various back ailments. The two-time Pro Bowler has played only two games since 2008 and missed the entire 2009 season.

this guy is hurt alot, and he would cost too much to bring in as a backup, but I do know his girlfriend lives in China Grove, during the summer hes in my hometown alot (Salisbury,NC) at the YMCA. so he has NC ties. But its been proven, hes probably not worth the trouble

too expensive and unreliable. i know his GF and her family, played ball with her brothers, and she played ball w/ my sister. Interesting that he comes back to the area in the offseason, didnt know that. they have a kid and he is HUGE!

Personally I think hes mentally unstable in some capacity. his head is not in the game.

[The Saltman]

guy is seriously depressed.

I bet he is huge, her brothers are both very tall, one is 6'-7" and the other is 6'-4" or so, and she is tall too. they are also super athletic, all 3 played college b-ball. that kid could be the next peppers!

Guy is garbage in life and as a player...should be arrested for stealing millions over the last 2 years. Worst signing in Eagles history. Here he is suffering from depression adn back issues when he was unable to play. Making horrible rap videos about getting his "Michael Phelps on" must be a doctor prescribed treatment.

He's good if he can stay on the field. But he hasn't been able to stay on the field. Just a couple years ago, he was one of the top lineman in the NFC.

[TylerDurden]

I'd bring him in... Wouldn't hurt. IF it's on the cheap... I don't expect him to demand very much considering his reputation and injury history, so I don't see why he couldn't be brought in and given a chance to compete.

if we dont re-sign Vincent then maybe we could get Andrews, I liked him a few years back

Or the Panthers could take a truck up to I-40 and pull one of those boulders off the highway, give it a million bucks and let it sit on the sideline.

That is just another option though, either way, meh.
