As for the Eagles, if they win there is no impact on the Patriots draft at all. As far as FA, if Dawkins does well and wins and even wins the superbowl it will be even harder for the Eagles to resign him. Opening the door for the Pats among other teams.

Regardless of the outcome, Dawkins is likely going to retire anyways. In '07-he missed minicamp and most of TC b/c his wife was giving birth to twins, and she was going through alot of trouble.
Anyhow-I would think Dawk will want to retire and raise give his family the highest priority, at least for awhile.
