Update: Jags claim Jason Babin

Recommended Posts

Couple of names...

 

The person, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the Jags haven't yet confirmed the claim, said eight teams put in claims for Babin, including the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders. Approximately 10 playoff contenders were ready to make a run at Babin had he cleared waivers.

Jacksonville is used to bad contracts.. It all kind of makes sense.

well here's an interesting twist:

 

Count Jim Washburn among those unhappy -- and completely surprised -- to see pass rusher Jason Babin shuttled out of Philadelphia this week.

 

The Eagles defensive line coach was "not pleased" when Andy Reid cut Babin, sources close to Washburn told Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday.

 

One source said Washburn believed Babin, 32, was made the scapegoat for a crumbling Eagles defense that's fallen apart since Juan Castillo was fired from his post as defensive coordinator.

 

The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed Babin off waivers Wednesday, ending the lineman's long association with Washburn, who recruited the edge rusher back to Philadelphia after they worked together on the Tennessee Titans.

 

This was an Andy Reid decision. That he went ahead and made it without consulting one of his most respected coaches is telling.

 

The problems in Philadelphia extend beyond the shoddy play of the defense. The clock is ticking on this team and the Babin exit will not be the final change the organization makes in what promises to be an intriguing offseason.

Regarding the link oochymp posted, it's just the latest indication that the Eagles organization, once one of the better run and more professional in football, is a total mess. And it has been for the last three years. That's why Andy needs to go above all other reasons. The meat and bones of this coaching staff need to be flushed down the toilet and replaced.
