A philly fan here and to say that you guys got our heart is an understatement. I dont care how old his legs are, if youve got the pulse of the team and the fans you pay the man...although denver went out of their way with the huge contract, you can never put a price on HEART..I'm youre biggest fan and wish you the best..Thanks for giving it all you got and leaving it all on the field and being a great roll model for all young players coming into the league...To say that youre nothing but class and a great athlete would be an understatement. You play football like I played ball and your upe there with the Lambert's and the Ditka's and Lott's greatest d-players and with montana's and rice's and walter payton's Greatest of All Time.. Best of Luck...

brian dawkins brings leadership, experience, the fact that he gives his all, and that he follows through and doesn't give up. the broncos got one of our best. in fact, i just might start watching the broncos as i've got nothing left to watch the eagles for.

die hard eagles fan — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 18:24:09 -0000

this is by far the most stupid thing the eagles have ever done...dawking is by far the best safety in the nfl and hes been the heart and soul of the eagles for 13 seasons! the broncos just made the best deal by far of all the free agents, he was the one to get. u guys might have a shot this year with dawkins leading ur defense. good luck broncos, wish the eagles all the luck, were gonna need it

i would just like to say i am a die hard eagles fan who is very jealous of the denver fans right now. you guys really need to consider yourselfs very lucky to have signed someone like dawkins.. i have gone to see a few eagles games and there is nothing more exciting then watching dawkins lead the fans in singing the fight song after a touchdown, ther is nothing more exciting then when he comes out of the tunnel and is being introduced and listening to the whole stadium go nutz. you have also signed a great running back in buckhaltor i have watched him for years and he was way under used in philly and he hads a great back to your back field... looks like i might have to become a denver fan, all i can say is ill be one of the first to buy a dawkins broncos jersey and since denver comes to philly this year i will actually be routing on the broncos.. congrats to all the denver fans and broncos oganization you have taken the heart and soul out of philly

Denver signs free agent safety Brian Dawkins to a five-year, $17 million deal that includes $7.2 million guaranteed. The contract also has escalators that could boost the value of the deal to $27 million over five years, but the deal also could be voided to two years, $9 million.

I would like to have a good mix of young and old. You need some or so leadership of a defense. If we put out 11 rookies like everybody wants, we'll make last year look like the orange crush days. Some maturity and experience is a good thing despite he age.

Denver is starting from scratch, and it would be great to have someone around who knows what defensive success looks like. Brian Dawkins is true leader, just listen to his speeches they pump you the hell up. Depending on how much they give him makes this a smart move. I believe he still has some miles left in his tank.

The average age of a bronco player is around 25. Geriatric? I don't think so. Inexperienced is more like it.

It's about time denver made a move on a huge player. we also need him to be that leader on the field . this is a great move. 1 step closer to the championship

To the people complaining about Dawkins' age, who would you have rather of signed in free agency or drafted that would have been as good for the next 2 years. And its not even about how good he plays, its about how good he makes everyone else play every play because of his intensity.

He's a great leader that demands respect, and will make any rookie we draft work that much harder, which I love. I know he's slower now and gets beat over the top more often that we'd all like, but he's a great tackler, that helps against the run immensly. He also is great at forcing fumbles. Who's the last guy we had that forces any type of turnovers at the saftey position? I'm pumped, its a great stop game at saftey for 2 years(hopefully) and we can draft a saftey this year or next to be mentored by Dawkins.

We have so many holes to fill, and with the signing of Dawkins, it allows us to push aside saftey til next years draft if we don't see "that guy", and use our picks to fill out the front 7.

This is unreliable information yes dawkins did go to meet with denver but nothing is official yet. the eagles have a little something up their sleeve.

Jpweave read the rest of it it says espn refutes the report.

A 35 year old safety, great. They were riding him out of town in Philly, until they stopped dropping him in coverage. He plays at the line of scrimmage, and was key to the Eagles defensive because he knew the timing so well. Lack of experience, and his aging speed will expose his weaknesses. If you don't believe me break the tapes down. Further, when did the Eagles 30 somethings become a high priority for us Broncos? Not as excited as everyone else.

So what the hell do we believe? Is he signed or what

The Fox affiliate in Philly is also reporting that Dawk signed with the Broncs. I would post the link, but the stupid iPhone doesn't have a copy/paste function. It says they contacted a second source in Denver to confirm it.
