OG Andrews Signs Big Extension

Summary: Third year offensive guard Shawn Andrews has been signed to a seven year extension by the Philadelphia Eagles. Andrews was the 16th player chosen in the 2004 draft.

Personal view: The Eagles have a history of locking up their promising starters, this is just more of the same.

I'm assuming the Eagles belittled Andrews with talk of being over-weight...

...and then offered him a semi lowball offer which he accepted.

Good move by Philly!

Eagles have extended S. Andrews through 2015 and reportedly will pay him $11-$12mm over the next year in bonuses and salary. For Eagles fans, this is an encouraging sign as it indicates confidence by Reid and Banner that Andrews can play at a high level for a long time to come. Now let's make sure he keeps his weight in check!

TSN said in a past issue that Andrews lost a lot of weight and is in his best shape ever, since a 23 y.o. overweight friend of his died of a heart attack.

I do love it when the Iggles lock up a young guy long term like this. Now we just have to hope he intends to honor every year of it.
