We want Brian to be here. We recognize him as an important part of this team, a quality person. I think Brian recognizes that this is a great situation for him. I think he recognizes that this system probably matches up to his own strengths and weaknesses better than any other system out there. So I think that in the long run, because we both have that mind-set about it, we'll find a way to get it done. I hope it's in the short run.

The Eagles continue to offer the city a deal that meets the city's revenue-neutral goals that is the best deal any team has offered in the NFL,Joe Banner
Im not going to get into any figures. But its quite significant. And obviously we voted for it because it was in the best interest of the league to vote yes.

I have no problem with anything Brian said. We are already convinced Brian's a very good player and a very valuable member of our team. He wants to be here and we still want him here and we remain optimistic it will work out.

We would not have felt that negotiations had reached a roadblock. We were certainly at a point where we had a gap in his expectations and our comfort level. Whether or not we would have been able to close that gap, I'm not sure. But we felt we were in productive contract negotiations.

wanted to make sure there was no ambiguity regarding the things we weren't happy about.
Joe Banner
I don't get it. He was so happy. He's a guy who by his own description had a tough time in life finding a place that felt right, finding a peace of mind and finding a place where he felt appreciated. And he was very, very verbal in feeling that he had found that in Philadelphia. And not just publicly, but privately with us. If you sought that for so long, why not enjoy it for a bit and take the ride I wish there was something more to all of this, but I don't know what it would be.
