NGT: DeSean Jackson contract blew up on Eagles too

The Eagles are going to release DeSean Jackson, as @JClarkNBCS
reported and as Jackson alluded to in his Instagram posts.

Jackson had 23 catches for 395 yards and 3 TDs in 8 games during his 2nd stint in Philly.

Eagles will get $4.9M in cap savings, take a $5.8M cap hit.
Good!

I love that the Eagles thought they were going to recapture the times that Jackson was a decent player, they overpaid him and the whole situation took a giant dump in their lap. Jackson should retire now.
There are going to be a lot of players like Jackson

that are older who will be making a lot less next season. The stars like LW will get paid but others will not.

Agree. Giants should be shopping for short term bargains and focus on building in the draft. Hoping for a WR signing while drafted WR's catch up.

Eagles have quite a few other bloated contracts on the roster as well. Seems like they are going to purge quite a bit this offseason.

Lines of Scrimmage - who else is out there that you think they may release?

How nice it would be to make this hurt twice for Eagles, having them take a cap hit and maybe the Giants picking up somebody of value.
I think you will see quite a few vets cut

just retire than have to fight and squabbles for a few bucks or incentive laden deals.

There will be more WRs available...  
EricJ : 2/20/2021 10:45 am : link
in free agency after all of the cuts

The Oline has two big contracts in Johnson and Brooks. Both very injury prone and older.

On D they have Cox who is getting up in age.

Very similar to how the Giants got old along the lines in both age and bloated contracts versus performance imv.

Ertz will be released or traded

Goodwin will be released
Saints

just guessing Kwon Alexander, Janoris Jenkins, Marshon Lattimore, Malcolm Brown and they are still in trouble. Let alone they are keeping a retired Brees on the roster

Jackson whip up a Hitler quote on his way out?

baaaaaaad next year. I just hope when they go 3-13, the Giants aren't any part of those 3 wins.
This makes me appreciate Reese for Super Bowl 46

...Like the Giants post 2007, the Eagles spent a ton of resources to keep the train rolling and get their 2nd Super Bowl. Except the Eagles' moves have blown up in their faces.

Compare that to Reese. He gets well-deserved criticism for moves after 2011, but he was at his best finding complimentary pieces to an already-balanced roster.

JPP, Rolle, Kenny Phillips, Prince all helped out aging stars like Tuck, Osi and Webster
