I believe that you must take care of your own first rather than go out and throw money at a outside force. The Eagles, once known as a grinch-like front office led by ex-President Joe Banner, decided to break form and lock up their young talent. Evan Mathis was a virtual unknown, as he bounced from the Bengals to the Dolphins while picking up spot-starts here and there. He had a chance to go to Philly and showed that he is a true road grader with alot of upside. He is a part of the nucleus that keeps the offense line and he was worthy of the deal he received.
DeSean is a highlight-reel waiting to happen; talk about the epitome of "takin' it to da house". He was disgruntled about his contract and it showed in his play. Normally, a diva would be shown the door if he sulked and effected the camraderie of a team (T.O. for example). DeSean, while he celebrates at will after and during a big play, has been a great teammate and has devoted a lot of time and effort into community services. He gets a bad rap for being flashy but the guy plays with heart and has fun while doing so. GM Howie Roseman knew what he was doing when he tendered DeSean a 5 year deal.
