Funny how that goes. Letting Jackson go to a division rival for nothing in return

[IronEagle]

probably cost the Eagles the playoffs this season.

And not just with regards to the game today.

sickening. his gang ties don't seem to be holding him back in Was.

[aussie_eagle]

They could've let him go, but should've traded him to get something in return. I mean if they got a good DB or 2 in return Eagles would be laughing

The gang ties were bullshit once you drilled down into it. All that is left of an explanation is "football reasons."

Well fucking fine. For "football reasons" this team is out of the fucking playoffs and DeSean Jackson just took a dagger to their heart.

[Damned Thing]

That might be a stretch. If Jackson had really cost the Eagles the playoffs, it probably would have had a bigger impact on the Racists' season.

[Maniac]

Jackson, Maclin and Matthews would have been a nice receiver group.

[Diggle]

Chip Kelly, Howie Roseman ladies and gentlemen...

How many times does this have to be rehashed?

It was about money ... and the rest of the league knew the Eagles weren't going to pay so they waited.

It wasn't gangs and they weren't getting anything meaningful back.

So what did they spend the money they saved this year on?

[slag]

Irrelevant to whether a backloaded contract is bad.

And they all do it and they all dump them.

If the problem is the backload then why cut him before the pain hits? Seems like the cap impact for the year he was actually cut might be a teensy little tiny bit relevant, yeah?

[slag]

What are talking about?

They had to pay him this year against the cap.

Enough already.

He wasn't going to renegotiate down ... they weren't going to pay it ... you want a reason for the money ... if Foles played his way to a franchise qb contract.

They weren't getting shit for him ... this is fucking stupid.

And he's way down the list on why they lost today.

Let's circle the fuck around since your train of thought has finally caught up with my original question:

So what did they spend the money they saved this year on?

[rothdawg]

Yeah I was wrong. If Desean was on the team the Eagles would be a playoff team. This season isn't even status quo, it's a step backwards.

I guess ultimately it will all come down to year 3 for Chip.

[slag]

It's still as irrelevant as when you asked it before.
