I'm becoming more and more convinced that the eagles releasing DJax was 80% $$$-related, and 20% chip kelly trying to send a message (while also realizing that there are a lot of talented receivers in this year's draft). The "gang ties" are loose at best, and just seem like a smoke screen for the eagles' questionable decision to let him go.

It really comes down to - does he make our offense significantly better? Yes, I think he does. Will we have to mitigate attitude problems? Possibly, but I have confidence in our locker room. It will be about the $$ for DJax - if we can get him at a reasonable rate, I think we absolutely need to sign him - never give up a chance to take a division rival's pro bowl player in his prime. But if the $$$ is too much, and there's a real risk we could hurt our future cap situation, like I said above - lots of talented receivers in this year's draft.
