FO Speaks on Djax

[3rd & Inches]

That's why I still don't think Kelly is as nearly sold on Foles yet as many of the fans are.

Just a bunch of talk, but I heard on DP that the Iggs were interested in J-football. Of course there is a connection of Manzel almost going to Oregon.

[Chief]

Out of context.... But

"we needed to take a step back" might just be what they get.

[The Ref]

A football decision? Really? Cutting one of the best players on your team and one of the best players in the league is a football decision? Perhaps he left out the qualifier... as in ... stupid football decision!

It s BS. They cut him because of the money. Period.

The smear campaign was just to soften the blow to the mouth breathers.

Kelly will be reminded of that "football decision" two times per year for however long he stays coach. Which is looking more and more like it will be a shirt tenure if he continues to make "football decisions" like that.

[slag]

Uh yeah ... a football decision involves money in the NFL

And is different from gang shit ... which was Kelly's point.

Kelly specifically mentioned Revis, Peppers and Ware ... cap unfriendly players with all star game ... implying money as part of the football decision.

Or, maybe he reads the board and gets his ideas here.

“When I coached at Oregon he was tailor-made for that [offense],” said Kelly. “Broke my heart. I love the kid. I think he’s a hell of a football player.”

I don't like Manziel, but I guess Chip does.

Thank you, Captain Groundhog Day post

If rumors are coming out now that the Eagles are interested in Manziel, it means they either have no interest in drafting him or know he won't be there when they pick. Nothing but BS rumors at this point.

would it be impolite to point out that

While desean jackson is coming off a career year, julius peppers is a broken down 34 year old while the bucs sustained a $0.00 cap hit for cutting revis.

That's why it doesnt make sense as a financial move. The eagles are only saving 5 mill against the cap. There's no way they are gonna use that money. This move had nothing to do with finances.

[Melchior]

Listening to Lurie and knowing his WRs from Oregon, expect a 6'3+ receiver to be drafted.

Yes, it would be impolite... but true.

And don't forget spring chicken Demarcus Ware. Still can play, but like Trent Cole, has already seen his best days.

[slag]

WTF are you blathering about?

The Bucs cut him because they would have sustained a $16 million hit if they DIDN'T cut him and more in seasons to come.

The Eagles saved $6.75 million in cap space and $12.5 million in cash this year ... and will continue to save millions against the cap for the balance of his contract.

Peppers and Ware may be long in the tooth but, Ware particularly, isn't done.

The Broncos signed him to a 3-year 30 million dollar contract with $20 million guaranteed.

That's more than Jackson got.

How impolite is that?

[PackWest]

You might get a chance to play all 3 of them in 2014

Revis in August, Peppers in November and Ware... in February...

[slag]

If they play Ware in February ... it will be Desean Who?

[Eagle In Ohio]

THIS is what it took them so long to say ???

Sorry if already posted

Man, they need a new PR person, stat.

[J_Cuz31]

The Eagles saved $6.75 million in cap space and $12.5 million in cash this year.

Well they aren't going to use the 6.7 (really 5 but why squabble) since they have over 20 mill in cap space. So it really comes down to Lurie pocketing the 12.5. I guess youre looking at it like lurie needs the money but from a purely cap finance standpoint it means nothing to anyone other than jeffrey lurie (and for some strange reason slag) whether the eagles paid jaccson 12 mill in 2014 or not. So I guess the only question is why does it matter to slag so much who gets that money, Jeffrey or desean. Cause the matter of where that money goes impacts no other person or entity on this planet.
