I personally would have gone for Sharpe... One of the best TE's ever! This is what Sharpe had to say.PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Jeff Thomason put his career in construction work on hold to play in the Super Bowl.
The veteran tight end signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday after being out of the NFL the last two seasons. He'll replace his friend - injured tight end Chad Lewis - who hurt his foot on his second touchdown catch in Philadelphia's 27-10 victory over Atlanta in the NFC title game.
He was willing! My boy Sharpe is on his game and Thomason is 2 years rusty and never as good as Sharpe... GRRRRRREight-time Pro Bowl tight end Shannon Sharpe, who retired last year after 14 seasons in the NFL, said on his radio show that he would have considered playing for the Eagles if they had called.
``What would happen if I went out there, played, and was the Super Bowl MVP? That wouldn't be fair, I didn't go through training camp,'' said Sharpe, who won Super Bowls with Denver and Baltimore.
