He finally said it.

Lito Makes It Clears He Wants Out Of Philly
7th August, 2008 - 10:37 am
The Courier Post - Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard has made it perfectly clear that he wants out of Philadelphia, according to The Courier Post.

He was known to be unhappy with his contract for the better part of the offseason, but talked about playing for another team for the first time earlier this week.

"I think it'll be a lot better if it was for somebody else," said Sheppard, who's expected to start at left cornerback during the team's preseason opener on Friday.

Sheppard wants to renegotiate the five-year, $25 million extension he signed in 2004.

"I think we all know what it is. I don't have to get into details about it," Sheppard said of the dispute. "This is my job and a lot of people don't like their job, but you have to do it.

Lito can pout, complain all he wants. So long as he doesn't hire Drew Rosenhaus and attempts T.O V2.0, he's one of our legit cornerbacks.

bad news if he really is unhappy... ive been getting excited about having 3 awesome corners, using sheppard as a kind of hybrid safety

He already hired Rosenhaus. A few weeks ago.

Looks like Westy gets a new deal.

Well deserved. As we all know, the guy is money.
