another great Eagle retired

on August 16, former Pro-Bowl of the Philadelphia Eagles retired as an Eagle. LT Tra Thomas, played 10 seasons with the Eagles before injuries plagued him and was let go. after bouncin around a couple teams, Thomas found a home as an Eagle analyst on the local sports station and decided it was time to hang up #72 as an Eagle
Tra here with former offensive line, now defensive coordinator Juan Castillo and HC Andy Reid at the NovaCare Complex. it was an emotional time as Tra gave his speeche, rememberin him bein drafted in 1998 as the 1st draft pick of the Eagles, who had future Hall of Fame WR Randy Moss still on the board. with horrible lucks they've had in the past years with olinemen, Tra set out to prove otherwise and earned himself 3 Pro Bowl trips and an All-Pro honor. after credittin Juan and Andy for his development as a player and as a person, Tra will forever go down as the best LT the Eagles ever had

thanks for everythin Tra!
