Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown expressed his displeasure with his current contract on Monday and demanded to be traded to a team that won’t take his services for granted.

Brown signed a 6-year $30 million contract extension in 2004 which would take him through 2012. He is set to earn $2 million this season and received a guaranteed $7.5 million when he put pen to paper and agreed that the deal was pretty damn awesome about five years ago.

Despite folks losing their jobs and those that have them scared to death of losing them, most Americans seem to side with Brown on this issue and share in his frustration as he struggles to make ends meet.

“So what if it only takes the man five days to earn what I made in an entire year,” said recently laid off school teacher Kevin Noble. “The point here is that with his skill set and recent performance, it should only take him two days.”

The no-time Pro Bowler has also gained empathy from millionaire-turned-multi-millionaire former executives.

“A lot of people don’t realize it’s a business and the Eagles could release him tomorrow if they wanted to,” said former AIG executive Ryan Clancey. “It’s a devastating feeling to know at any moment, you could be kicked to the curb with nothing but your $7.5 million signing bonus and the Ed Hardy shirt on your back. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.”

However, there are those in the scarce minority that would suggest that what Brown is doing is “inconsiderate” and “a slap in the face to pretty much everything that’s going on in the world at the moment.”

“Anybody with the nerve to publicly bitch about how the millions they earn every year isn’t enough, especially during this recession, has officially lost all touch with reality,” said Tariq Blaine. “It kinda makes you look like a complete and utter waste of human skin…or at the very least unworthy to ever wear Eagles green again.”
