If true, what the HELL were they thinking?
That was discussed around page 3 of the main MB conversation. JS agreed to the move with Philly then the Pats came back with the reported 3rd round offer (not confirmed) but JS was committed to Philly and did not want to back out of the deal.
Who the Hell cares about what the Eagles think. A deal is not done until the contract is signed. Deals get cancelled at the last minute in business all the time. That's a piss poor excuse when you are trying to get as much draft capital for this year as possible.
JS got schooled. WEAK DEAL MAKER
A lot of people care about their reputation and their word. The deal had been made, going back on it would have been a classless act.
