I'm not saying he doesn't have the right to do it. He does. I'm saying if I'm a fan and have bought a Housh jersey for me and my kid's, I'd rather him not say come out and say he'd rather play for another team.

How about, "I'm a FA, I love it here in _____ or my first choice is here in _____, but if it doesn't work out I'm going to look at all the options." End of story.

The game has changed to a business first, emotions second model. I can't fault the guy for trying to pander for his best interest. I don't think it's any different than a newly signed free agent pandering to the fans of the new area he's in.

When was the last time any of us heard of the Eagles getting a free agent in their thirties?

Okay, but the Eagles have been getting decent WR production for each of the last 5 years. This move wouldn't make a lot of sense for them, although they certainly could afford him under the cap easily.

I just don't see them as a better team. If Jackson develops, Housh plays the No. 2 role, and forces Curtis to the No 3, which essentially eliminates young up-and-comers like Baskett and Avant entirely.

Doesn't seem like an Eagles type move, but desperation can do funny things to you.
