Actually, Chip said that they contacted Shady's agent to talk about redoing his deal but that McCoy wouldn't do it so they had to trade him.
But that was a flat out lie. Chip never contacted McCoy or his agent. LeSean has said be would have restructured his contract if asked.
Chip has also flat out lied about how the whole Demarco Murray conversation with Lurie went down.
And the players don't hate him? Could have fooled me. Desean, Cary Williams, McCoy, Mathis, Peters making multiple comments making it clear he doesn't like Chip, Maxwell criticizing the way Chip does things, Murray. And there have been a ton of annonymous comments being reported by the media about how Chip won't even talk to them passing them in the hallways, is way too controlling, etc.
Again, why should Shady shake the guy's hand? I don't go around being buddy buddy with people I don't like.
Sure seems like Eagles fans are desperately trying to cling to some argument for why the Eagles didn't get the raw end of that trade. Everyone in Philly was quick to beat their chests about how stupid Buffalo was and how great of a trade it was for Philly. Now, Shady is a top 5 RB while Kiko has been a massive liability and the Eagles still owe $13M guaranteed to a RB who looks like a square peg in a round hole. Remember how Murray was the ideal RB for Chip's system and LeSean was a washed up guy who killed the Eagles with all of his "dancing"? Weird that the Eagles lead the league in negative rushing yards while Shady is busy tearing up some of the hottest defenses in the league.
Chip has never said that he contacted Shady's agent, he refused to negotiate, so he was forced to trade him. He said he has called McCoy twice since the trade, but Shady won't take his calls. Shady confirmed this.
How did Chip flat out lie about the Demarco/Lurie conversation? He confirmed that they sat next to each other on the plane back from NE, which has been confirmed as well. You're making a lot of stuff up here.
So, the players that you are relaying on for a glimpse into how the team hates Chip are: Desean-a me first guy that Chip cut; Cary Williams-a guy that preferred shopping for sconces instead of attending team workouts, that Chip Cut; McCoy-enough said; Mathis-never said a bad word about Chip, so you're wrong there; Peters-never said a bad word about Chip, wrong again; Maxwell-not sure I've ever heard him saying anything, nor Murray for that matter, other than rumored reports that shockingly he wants the ball more.
There have absolutely not been a ton of anonymous quotes that Chip won't talk to guys in the hallway or that he is way too controlling. There was one sourced quote by Brandon Boykin alluding to Chip not relating to all the players. Thats all. One player.
It should be noted by the way, that all the guys Chip jettisoned: Shady, Desean, Foles, Mathis, Herremans, Williams, Boykin, have all sucked with exception of Shady. Half the guys either don't start for an NFL team or aren't even on an NFL team, one year later.
No one is claiming they got a better or worse end of the deal-I think in the grand scheme of things, both sides got what they wanted out of it. I was sad to see Shady go as he was one of my Favorite Eagles, but he's proven to be quite an ###, IMO.
And please, Shady is tearing up some of the hottest defenses in the league? He didn't rush for 100 yards until week 9 bro.
Stop making #### up based on some misplaced Chip hate.
