[NFL] Freddie Mitchell cut by Eagles

[Steffan]

PHILADELPHIA -- Freddie Mitchell has talked his way out of Philadelphia.

In a move that was no surprise, the Eagles released Mitchell on Friday, cutting ties with the wide receiver after four seasons where he never lived up to his promise as a first-round pick.

"We appreciate everything Freddie has contributed to the Eagles organization over the last four years," coach Andy Reid said. "By releasing him now, it gives him the opportunity for a new start with another team in the NFL."

Haha!

but hey, with 90 career receptions, this guy is money!

"labeling himself with a seemingly endless list of self-promoting nicknames like ``The People's Champ,'' ``FredEx,'' and ``First-Down Freddie.''

this guy is so full of himself, he doesn't realize how much he sucks.

I'd like to thank my hands for being so great.

He has two of the most famous catches in Eagle history, yet we ran him out of town. It's too bad, he's not that bad of a player, it's his attitude that needs help.

lol yay for more cap room

[christracy]

the eagles have one big mouth they don't need two that was probably a factor in letting him go. he didn't live up the expectations and him having a big mouth about it along the way just didnt help his case.

Is this where Pinkston comes in?

I would have a lot more respect for the Eagles if they had the guts to do that.

Poor Freddie Mitchell. The guy was a first-class athlete who siplayed his enormous talent each and every Sunday. . . . O wait that's right, no he wasn't. Just another ass who never backed up his bark with his bite. What a pompous moron. Know what the best part is? He'll probably STILL think he's God's gift to football. FredEx got shipped out of town (rim shot). It's pathetic I know. :p

He's interested in washington

... lol

[L3thal Veteran]

I still laugh at his comment about his hands. Though he didn't do much in the field, he sure did do much with the mouth, which isn't bad at times. I'm sure he will fit in with another team.

if he came here he would probly do okay. but there are already some cocky skins. maybe he should go to cleveland and 'play' with kellen.

I would rather sit through another losing season then put up with a guy like that week in and week out. The Redskins can definetly do without someone like that. Sean Taylor is bad enough (even with his skills), we don't need someone with that much mouth that can't back it up with his play.

Enter Reggie Brown. Go Dawgs!

Reggie really picked up the pace this year after Fred Gibson slacked off.
