We still have to work something out with Cam Newton. Greg Hardy too, unless we are just going to let him walk next year. Everybody wants to talk about these contracts from Hurney that Gettleman is having to deal with, but it's okay for us to kick the can down the road for Jackson?

I wouldn't call that kickin the can...not a Jackson deal like that. That would be strategically adding talented player of need that fits a need.

We are kicking the can on the RBs.....bc they are weighing us down. Cut either one tommrrow and we aren't worse off than if they were here.

One of the NFL Network reporters said on the radio he expects Jackson to stay with the Eagles, but the Panthers are the most likely trade partner if he is indeed traded.

 

I think that's where this is going. I think he'll just stay in Philadelphia.

 

I doubt he stays and if he does he'll be gone by the trade deadline imo.

Chip Kelly needs him.

I would love if we are the actual favorites to land him if he is traded, as the NFLN reporter stated, but here's where that doesn't make sense to me...  Both the Raiders and the Jets have significantly higher picks than we do if we're all offering 3rd rounders, AND I wouldn't put it past either of them to offer up to a 2nd for him.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
