Don't know how Reid knows this Offense better but OK. And Desean knows he quit on Reid before getting paid. Must have been a fluke that Djax had his best season and the offense there best season in history under Kelly. But Reid knows the O better. Wow, your really putting Djax up on a pedestal. Now your wanting(guaranteeing) the skins to beat the Eagles. Guess your fandom was only skin deep as I suspected. Xoxox I'm a fan, but not a blind one and didn't guarantee anything. Nothing to prove in terms of fandom. Have had more than enough of those idiotic arguments here, even if it was just once. lol Try to look at the big picture for once. Foles finally got them stability they hadn't had at QB for years. It's no fluke he had a great year. Quit on Reid? He's had 900 - 1100 yd since his rookie year - except for 2012 when he played just 11 games. So all the more puzzling Kelly couldn't make it work ( D-Jax didn't want to leave). He failed and the timing was stupid. And they made him look worse than he was. Look how many teams wanted him after doing their due diligence. Like 10, 4 or 5 quite seriously. Sorry, but I don't just blindly accept anything they do. This whole thing made me angry. Agree to strongly disagree. To take a 6mil hit and get nothing...to send their 2nd best playmaker away for nothing....speaks volumes. And yes...Djax quit on Reid and the team in the 4-12 season.

Good receivers are not rare. Desean is a good receiver, not worth what he was getting paid though, and if he was a locker room problem than I have no problem with the cut. And Divebitch know one has confirmed that 10, 4 or 5 teams were interested in him. The Redskins were the only team that scheduled a visit. The media makes false claims based off their speculation all the time, nothing different in this situation.

Okay, but again, big picture... He only played 11 games in 2012 (that was their 4-12, was it not?). www.nfl.com/player/deseanjackson/1581/profile Vick played 10 games, rookie Foles played the rest www.nfl.com/player/michaelvick/2504531/profileStill, only 2 TDs but 45 catches 700 yds is not awful for 11 games and under those circumstances. Andy Reid didn't get fired due to D-Jax, and I believe KC would've made a big play for him if they had room. Reid was reported to have been singing his praises while this was going on this week. PC? Possibly. "Speaks volumes", my question remains 'about whom?' On the surface, it seems no worse than what you see elsewhere, and they deal with it. You don't take a player of this calibre and drop him like a hot potato.

If KC had wanted him they could have made a move.
Byrd to NO proves you don't have to have space if you want them bad enough.

So you think Charles Woodson and Matt Schaub were openly wooing and they didn't hope for a visit? That's not media. Bills, Browns, a couple others, they don't advertise it! I might agree that he wasn't worth what they were paying him. I don't even think he's a top 10 "#1" straight WR, although he did more on special teams. But feel he was more valuable to the Eagles than anyone else.

The Redskins were the only team interested enough to schedule a visit, I could care less if players want a guy because that certainly doesnt represent what their team thinks.

Didn't say KC wanted him, although it looked to be academic cuz they couldn't afford him. lol so players now represent if their team is interested?

Not their job, but in my experience, they do not represent if their team is not interested. Case in point, Reggie Bush, I knew he was a Lion before he ever got on the plane.

And the Chiefs could have made room. They've a few players that a contract extension would make room. And a couple players who probably won't make the roster next year still sitting there making too much.
