    Eagles release Jason Babin

    Only one year removed from 15+ sacks
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    What about him playing OLB? Possible? I would claim him and see where he fits

        The Eagles have never really liked older players. He's 32 now, so he's not part of their future and they said they want to see what they have in their younger guys.

          Claim him off of waivers. Mark Anderson blows.

            He is a guy who can rush the passer, but that is all he wants to do. Would be worth picking up as a 3rd down rusher, and his remaining salary for the year is all it would cost ($1,639,706) for the rest of this year if claimed on waivers.

              He's basically Mark Anderson. Pass rush only guy.

                  I heard both Reed & Babin on Sirius tonight. Andy said he wanted to play the young guys to see what they had & Babin said Andy probably did him a favor because he was not in their plans for next year. He has a 3 year contract after this year for any team that claims him.

                    Heard Hugh Douglas talk about him on ESPN radio. In essence, Douglas maintains Babin quit on the team and on Andy Reid after Reid and the Eagles signed him and essentially resurrected his career. Douglas is a former defensive end and former Philadelphia Eagle. He probably knows what he's talking about. If Douglas is right, it's definitely buyer beware for any team interested in Babin.
                    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                      we already have Jason Babin...he's wearing that Merriman jersey. And if we picked up Babin we might have to part with Kirk Morrison..and we've seen how much playing time he's gotten and how productive he's been this year.

                      The Eagles are the only team as ****ed up as the Bills are right now...let's try to stay away from their retreads.

                      Sorry about the last post. Just really annoyed and frustrated with the Bills right now.

                          I don't think he would even show up to Buffalo.

                            I bet they still wouldn't generate any sacks.

                              So they signed him last year, he quit on them, but then went out and got 18 sacks and 3 FF's for them? That doesn't really make sense.
