Jordan Matthews 6-foot-3, 210+ lbs, big hands, 4.46 40 time, not as many TD's as Evans but caught a higher % of TD's for his team than Evans.
There's just too many WR's there for some not to fall into round 2. He could be there or someone we never expected to be there.
But he is no Johnny Football. (Fan of Manziel but Eagles aren't taking a first round QB unless Foles falls down a flight of stairs or something. )
Eagles Super Bowl wins last 20 years........

Just like the Eagles didnt get better by getting rid of TO the Eagles do not get better getting rid of Jackson.
This is a completely different circumstance and one that needs to be judged on its own merit. However, I agree on TO and I went on record at the time that TO was forced out because of Reid mistakenly yielding to a petulant McNabb. Interesting how time proved that.
Thank god we don't have a game tommorow
I think it took Belichick a month after he was cut to comment on Hernandez - and he was facing multiple murder charges. No need for Chip to say anything right now.

The draft strategy should be completely unchanged. If any of those is BPA on their board when they are up, then sure. But don't reach if there's a better player available.
I don't understand your position here. In Belichick's case, there was less of a need to make a public statement, because obviously the team wasn't going to keep an accused murderer on the roster. Regarding Jackson, the situation is a lot murkier. There is no active investigation to worry about, and the motives for his release are anything but clear. Gang ties? Scheme fit? Contract demands? Cap number? Personality conflict? Practice habits? All of these issues have been rumored at some point to have contributed to Jackson's ultimate departure. The fans deserve some clarification, and perhaps a little reassurance of the team's direction.cstu said:
I'm getting the impression that's the "why are they hiding and refusing to speak" crowd is expecting a TMZ like report from Lurie/Roseman/Kelly
Don't think I will. I'm not looking for minute details on how the sausage is made, but I do think that some kind of public comment is warranted. The decision to release one of the best players on the team is pretty significant. And the silence is deafening.
Yea, who could forget that moment. Bump Alex Henry since DeSean won't be here getting taunting penalties?
Only if it is Mike Evans!
yeah only current players jerseys I have are jackson and mccoy. looks like i am wearing the mccoy one for the immediate future
Remember that like it happened last week. Lost my voice for about 2 days..
This is a very good read BTW. I'm not sure how many of you are on Twitter but this guy is very worth the follow.
I'm thinking Sproles will be this team's Wes Welker. He might get a handful of snaps a game at RB, but mostly I think as a matchup tactic rather than a true RB2, especially at 31yo. He's here to catch the ball not run it.
Not necessarily. Everyone thought Ray Rhodes was awesome after his 1st 10-6 season, he parlayed that 1st & 2nd year success into more personnel power and then drove the bus off the overpass.
And particularly
Haha, or at least shipped him to the AFC for a 7th so we don't have to face him twice a year.Not much, they'd have to give up a lot I think to move up into the top 5-10 range where he's expected to go, and they're already short of picks in this deep draft class.
If only we had a talented player we no longer want on the team, and could get some draft value from somebody in return.
