Looks like DJax is gone after all

There's a Les Bowen article on phillynews today with a more complete quote and some feeble ass covering attempts by Les. Too lazy to link. It's not hard to find.

On Kelly?

Because he hasn't back stabbed anybody yet?

I considered a coach without NFL experience was a bad hire based on history. Still can't say if the trend has changed or Kelly is an outlier. Carroll and Harbaugh are some evidence things have changed although they had some pro experience. Also the flip flop decision to take the job was a concern.

Still not keen on the high school stuff and I don't think it contributed to his success. But he did turn out to be a very good hire to this point. Can't argue with that.

for me, this sums it up...

...THEMEDIA LOL!

He is gone. They don't want to pay him 10.5 million and they can't pay him that much next year if Foles will command money. The draft is stacked at WR, so they have decided to move on and fix it now rather than wait for later. This is not complicated. They spend 24 million on WRs and 75 million on offense without paying a qb, they will not pay him 10.5 million after this season and he won't restructure. They might as well be done with it and start the process now rather than a year from now.

No he's not. His contract makes him unable to trade. He doesn't have to rework it to accommodate the Eagles. They aren't going to cut him outright as that would be stupid beyond imagination.

Jackson is now on three consecutive 1 year contracts that will pay him 10 million per year. Compared to other receivers in the league, it is just about on par with what he brings to the field. If his production drops, he's gone or will restructure downward. Plus, over the next several years the top WR salaries will rise and Jackson will be out of the top 10 highest paid anyway.

But this is year to year now. Not a bad deal for the player or the team if the production continues as it was last year. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't unless he gets hurt.

The idea that Jackson is somehow overpaid is silly. He's not underpaid either, like he was in 2009 and 2010.

They are not paying him 10 million next year under any circumstance if they have to pay Foles. End of story. They want to get something and draft a WR and start over. He is gone.

I should add, you can't pay 10 million for a WR, 10 million for a LT. 10-15 million for a QB, 10 million for a RB in this league. Impossible.
