But I'd be wary of adding a guy to our locker room if he would be a hindrance to the younger players.
I think the gang talk is a smokescreen but not for money. The Eagles took a huge dead-cap hit in releasing him (I read a dead-cap hit of about $8 mil.), so the Eagles did not release him for monetary issues.
