Either someone hacked their account, or its true.

It's true

Philadelphia Eagles ‏@Eagles
#Eagles release DE Jason Babin and place WR DeSean Jackson (fractured ribs) on the Injured Reserve list

[Rocket442Olds]

Man, what a fast fall from grace. I had heard they were not going to do anything with him after this year, but I guess it makes sense to let the young guys get some experience.

We do need another pass rusher...

[pointyfootball]

Wow...they also fired Sean McDermott's brother yesterday (he was in front office).

Crazy if true. That defense is going to be gutted.

Maybe the owner changes his name to Jeff Loria instead of Lurie. Although that would imply Babin was a top talent this year, instead of looking like he was being used as the tip of "crack-the-whip" ice skating move.

Oh please god no

Oh please god no

Vet min, just for the rest of the season. Bring him in on third downs to get after the QB oppostite Kerrigan. What would it hurt?

so line him up as an LB? Might work.

I just don't like the guy after what he did to Kory Lictensteiger

[Skins4SB]

One of the few vet min ideas I can agree with. What has Chris Wilson done? I believe Babin played before in a 3-4 at Houston.

Why not? If he comes in for dirt cheap, it wouldn't hurt to just take a look. He couldn't be worse than Chris Wilson.

Check the post times .. creepy.

Pretty sure this was the guy that took the cheap shot on our OL last year and knocked him out for the rest of the season (cant remember who it was)......if thats the case im gonna pass.

I'd be on board with anything that could possibly help us at this point...

Defenders take shots at offensive players on turnovers all the time. Look at the shot to the head Maclin took on the one interception against the skins a couple of weeks ago. Refs miss it a lot because turnovers are unpredictable and chaotic. I don't like it, but people need to recognize that's how defensive players think, or most of them anyway.

Better pass rush always makes the secondary look better

[SemperFi Skins]

Bring him in, vet min + incentives. He was a 4-3 DE in college and played average as a 3-4 OLB in the pros before converting to the wide-9 in Philthy. He could be serviceable on 1st and 2nd downs and let Rob Jackson back in for 3rd down and coverage ability. Chris Wilson is as much as worthless.

Until Orakpo is back, of course...
