They cut him because he quit on the team.

He's 32 and his production fell through the floor.

But sure go right ahead.

Good question.

Vested veterans are not subject to waivers until after the trade deadline.

Officially claimed by Jacksonville, the first 4-3 defense in the waiver wire order. Not bad for a guy who supposedly can't play.

Despite labeling myself a "realist", no one understands my pain or appreciates my special truth. Stupid world.

Jacksonville are not know for their excellent talent evaluation. Strange they would do it now, not like he can help them this year.

Jason Babin was interviewed about his release yesterday by ESPN and he flat out said that after he received the phone call from Reid, he basically laughed it off.

Even during his interview he was laughing at what had happened, and couldn't figure out why he was let go.
"It's little bit like the description of pornography from years back. It's hard to define it. But you know what it is at the end of it. It's hard to define it. I think you know who is more physical. Often times you see that in the fourth quarter. A lot of time the team on the other side feels it. We pride ourselves on being a physical football team. It's important to us. It's an important time of the year to lay that foundation." - Coach Garrett

If you think Jacksonville is the only team that was interested, you must be one of those people who believe Babin is uniquely bad against the run and that every great pass outside rusher in the NFL is also a great run defender (Aldon Smith couldn't stack and shed Verne Troyer). Jacksonville just had first dibs on him.

It's past the trading deadline, the Eagles have tanked the season, he was going to be a salary cap casualty in the offseason, and he was currently blocking a former 1st round draft pick and a former 2nd round pick and taking their reps. Doesn't mean he can't play or that he can't be a valuable player on another franchise.

I would have reduced his snaps and tried to flip him for a draft pick in the offseason, but I'm guessing there's not a lot of calm rational thought and foreward longterm vision going on at Eagles Headquarters at the moment.

You have quite the talent for misunderstanding posts. But by all means keep pigeonholing.

Babin is better than every pass rusher on the Cowboys roster not named Ware. This is a no brainer Jerry. It also gives the Cowboys some options at year end with Spencer.
If you honestly think Babin would be able to play anywhere near Spencer's level at OLB in a 34.. than you really are BAT crazy.

Babin wasn't even a good pass rusher until he started playing in that gimmicky "wide 9" bs. Even now, all he does is rush the passer, and he lets up alot of big runs his way because he has tunnel vision. It would be completely stupid to go after him for this D, imo.

Because offenses that came into Philly were laughing at him the entire time?

He sucks.. laughing won't change that.

Not the only team interested.. there were two others as well.

3 teams in the entire league are all that wanted to give him a shot. Must be a great player..

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.
