Who know's. Maybe they have did his deal this year because they are eyeballing some possibilities for next spring FA market and they didn't what the conflict over signing their own guys vs. signing FAs.

Who cares? They are talented players who are Eagles for a good long time for reasonable money...Eliminate distractions, create energy, fear nothing, and attack everything.

How many of those players were extended halfway thru their second season? And the first 4 you named are Pro Bowl calibre players. That kinda makes a difference too.http://shop.cafepress.com/content/global/img/spacer.gifOK, let's try this again...

He led the DL in tackles as a rookie and had 3.5 sacks...
He has started all 8 games so far this year, has a good amount of tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries and a TD...
I'd say that is a good start and, like you say, the organization must see room for even greater production...Eliminate distractions, create energy, fear nothing, and attack everything.

Not sure why anybody is surprised or shocked or dismayed at this event.
Maybe a year or so early but it is exactly what they do.
That's the beauty of the NFL, teams can structure things so as to protect themselves, depending on their wants. If Patterson fails they walk away, and it doesn't hurt nearly as much as if they sign him 3 years from now at twice the cost and he then blows out his acl. There are risks no matter how you do it, this is the road the Eagles have chosen to drive for years now,, this one is maybe a year early but so what,,, it accomplishes the same thing.
Funny I sit back and read the same agendas being forwarded and exaggerated.
He's too small, it's a bad deal........ (huh, I think we can get past this now)
32 million, how can they give him 32 million hell they only gave Westy 25 mill.....(they didn't give him 32 million only a contract that MIGHT be worth 32 million, but never let the facts interfere with a good take.)
They had cap space and dollars to use-- they went through their progressions and the agreement wheel stopped here.. their might be others, but IMO the bottom line is they probably gave the M Lewis contract to M Patterson.
Just another part of the plan, nothing to get bent out of shape about.
