Didn't see this posted yet. Jason Avant was signed to a new 5 year contract. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/13028882/eagles-agree-to-deal-with-r… Does the following sound familiar? "Jason Avant has developed into one of our most dependable and productive players on offense," coach Andy Reid said. "He's physical, he's tough and he has the respect of all of his teammates. Jason plays the game of football the right way; he competes on a daily basis, whether it's in the game or in practice."

was always one of the good guys. Like if I had a kid who said his favorite player was Jason Avant, I wouldn't have to worry about him getting caught with crack ho's or knifing somebody or something like that. No, not everyone kills, everyone murders. Not Jason Avant.

Yeah, you couldn't go wrong with Jason. Glad to see he got the cheddar. Great new avatar too. If MGoStore creates a kid's line, I think we have our first t-shirt. (OK, I'm lying...I'd wear it).

i had a t-shirt that had a picture of a fisher price little people character made to look like a michigan football player, winged helmet and all. i wore that thing until it fell apart. haven't been able to find one since. forget where i bought it, though - maybe mden? originall saw some guy in the ccrb weight room and asked where he had gotten it.

It may be just because I am a dad of a little kid but when I glanced at the title and first read it I thought to myself.... "Why the hell would J.A. sign a contract with The Wiggles? He doesn't even sound like he's from Australia."

of Braylon, Avant, and Breaston, Avant was always the most dependable. Braylon made the highlights and could/should be a star in the NFL, Breaston was electric and fun to watch in the open field, but it was always Avant that was highly dependable to do his job exactly how it should be. He ran good routes, had amazing hands, and average speed, but he made the best of his talent. I think Breaston is doing a great job in the league and Braylon has shown glimpses of what he could be, but it really makes me happy that Avant is getting his, because out of those three, he was probably the most underappreciated, though he probably didn't deserve to be.
