Jason Babin, Philadelphia Eagle

SunMo · July 28, 2011, 09:24:22 AM

reports are it's only $7M guarenteed money, which isn't that bad if they get two decent years from him

i could care less about the money...its the age and the talent that bothers me

Thought I heard $17 million, which is bad

Babin's deal with the Eagles is for 5 years, $28 million, and includes roughly $5-6 million in guarantees

that basically says that there was no market for the guy

I have no problem with the money. It ain't mine. Washburn gets a lot of no-name guys, guys who go to make truck loads of money elsewhere. Doesn't mean he can do with anyone IGs. He's got guys he feels fit better, like any other coach - perhaps Babin is one of them. Look at this list: Kyle Vanden Bosch, Jevon Kearse, John Thornton, Robaire Smith, Antwan Odom, Kevin Carter, Albert Haynesworth and Tony Brown. How many of them did squat since they went elsewhere?

Exactly

And his SB was for $7 million.

I'd be fine with this move if they had another DE as the starter and Babin was being thrown into a rotation, but he's going to be anointed the starter from day 1.

QuoteESPN and 97.5's Sal Paolantonio gives us the financial specs of the Jason Babin deal to the Eagles: 5 years, $30 million with $7 million guaranteed.

Not exactly the $17M you bitched about...yet you're still bitching.

PoopyfaceMcGee · July 28, 2011, 09:38:44 AM

Are you not entertained?!?

PhillyGirl · July 28, 2011, 09:40:00 AM

one more cup of coffee and possibly.

Drunkmasterflex · July 28, 2011, 09:40:09 AM

Cant say i love it or hate it. If he gets double digit sacks for a year or two its worth it.

I was promised an exciting offseason, does this move excite you? Even if his sb was $1 I'd bitch because I don't think a 31 year old journeyman DE who the Eagles cut last season is an upgrade.

again if thats the case why did they need to sign babin...why not have washburn make all the current ends great players

i mean if babin gets 2 sacks without washburn and 12 with him wouldnt darryl tapp turn his five sacks into 15?

If it was relatively cheap, I can live with it. But not exciting, at all.
