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.

:lol: 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! :lol:

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.

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.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      Yes. It's fluff time anyways but it's getting a bit ridiculous. I don't believe this mix has ever worked for the Panthers before. Break .500 and then start the hype.

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.
