“I’ve absolutely enjoyed my time there, and this was a very, very, very emotional decision for me. Very emotional. I’ve been crying,” were Brian Dawkins words on Saturday, after signing with the Denver Broncos.
Following a 13 year run with the Philadelphia Eagles, it took Dawkins less than 24 hours into the 2009 free agency period to land his new gig. The new deal is for 5 years and $17 million, but essentially boils down to a two year $9 million pact.
Instead of celebrating his new contract, new team, and fresh start, the 35 year old Dawkins has had a difficult time moving on from his beloved Eagles. In a Saturday interview with Comast Sportsnet’s Derrick Gunn, Dawkins was audibly distraught from the onset of the interview. His voice cracked, he became extremely emotional, and finally had to end the interview in less than two minutes. You can hear it here at CSNPHILLY.COM.
