I always heard the a leopard cant change his spots, hopefull DJ changes.

True. In fact, Philly didn't just tell him to take a hike, Philly paid $6 mil. in deadcap to get rid of him.

You know you're an major asshole when someone else pays $6 mil. to make you go away.

Deadcap does not mean they handed over $6M to Jackson as he was released. It just means they had to recognize $6M of the signing bonus previously paid to him on this season's books.

They would have paid him $10.5 mil in real money to keep him. Most of this sounds like Kelly wanted to make the point of my way or the highway. I think Kelly believes he can plug anyone in and his offense will work.

That is where Kelly is wrong. Every year players come out of the draft fast as Jackson but not producing.
