I understand Cole and Herremans are probably at that point too...I just have a soft spot for Cole, one of my favs, but yes they are likely the right decisions.
McCoy, Maclin and Jackson I'm much less certain of...McCoy is elite and 26 yrs old. I like Alonso, but we need to get more for one of the best RB in the NFL. McCoy led the NFL in rushing just one season ago! How is he not a good fit for Chip's offense? Because he and the OL and the offense in general had a down year? Maclin is also 26, posted career numbers last season and we are going to let him walk away for NOTHING? Crazy IMO.
Jackson I'm more mixed on because I do believe he is a flawed character and disliked how he took plays off especially during the contract squabbles and admitted he packed it in to save himself...that is unacceptable IMO. However, to get ZERO in return is bad asset management and most of it has to do with the PR campaign the Eagles undertook to justify the move...if you badmouth a player, you can hardly complain when no other team will give you anything for him...that is PR 101. Don't tell me no other team valued his talent because, guess what, another team picked him up and signed him to a nice deal and he danced all over OUR end zone last season....
Letting very good players go IN THEIR PRIME and getting limited return is what concerns me...Reid very rarely if ever did that or, if he did, he got a return for them...
