Howie's presser:
“In terms of Alshon [Jeffery], we had a conversation with Alshon before the season and he took a pay cut in exchange for guaranteeing [his 2020 salary]. For us, we were trying to create as much flexibility going forward with our roster, to create cap space to improve the football team.
I think we forget some of the contributions to our team that Alshon has had. During our Super Bowl year, the injury he played with, not missing a game and the contributions in that Super Bowl game. Last year he had 11 catches during the playoffs. Even, you look at this year, in his last game he had, I think, 8 catches for over 130 yards in the Miami game.
So, Alshon is a talented player, and he loves being an Eagle, he loves this city. I think about the moment last year after the New Orleans game when he went into that school and put himself out there.”
