Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

At 11:20 PM Adam Schefter of the NFL Network reported Eagles DE Jevon Kearse refused to take a pay cut and thus will be released from the team. Even though he has had some injury concerns in the past he is still worth considering. When he comes back healthy he's a monsterous pass rusher and could provide some veteren presence. Plus he's not as expensive as he once was to pick up. We should give him some consideration because if he is signed we could draft a tall and fast WR in the first round of the draft to help our offense out or a shutdown corner to eventually replace Shawn Springs.

I don't know if Blache will go for it. One it looks like they're going to take a DE in the first two rounds of the draft (probably first) and they would rather split snaps between the rookie, Wilson, and Phillip Daniels rather then split snaps between Kearse/Daniels/Rooke/Wilson. Also Blache talks about guys who are coachable and willing to learn and the only veterans who get considered by Blache are guys he has coached.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

he was a complete bust for them. No way.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

I'll take him for the vet min ;)

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

Another often injured player who cannot stay on the field. Regardless of the talent one may bring, unless he can be accountable he's useless.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

If GW were still here that might be a possibility as he played for him in Tenn. I agree that Blache is unlikely to want him now. He was inactive for a lot of games last year & I don't think it was all due to injury. He's been slowed by injuries & lost a couple steps it appears.

Kearse has had an odd career, seemed he peaked as a rookie & went downhill after that.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

firstly, as most of the rest of the guys said, blache will never allow it.

secondly, it doesnt make much sense to pick up kearse at this point in his career. (meaning he is old and the best thing about him is his name.)

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse

I 2nd that!!!

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

He would be a MASSIVE risk. He is extremely injury prone, and has not been greatly affective in about 5 years.
He had 36 sacks in his first 3 seasons, and he played every game. (38 in total). In the 6 years since, he has played in only 63 games and even worse, in that span he's only totalled 33.5 sacks.
The man WAS immensely talented, now the injuries have taken their toll. He would not be worth the chance at all unless the contract was extremely incentive based.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

As an aside, when Kearse first became available, the Skins were very interested in him. BUT, instead of paying premium dollar for Kearse, the FO went after Griffin and M. Washington.

Not a bad plan. We blast them so often for who they go after - it should be balanced against who they DON'T go after.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

No way thar is our problem now,to many grandpas on the lines(both sides)

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

no, no, and no. the majority is right. too old. too injury prone. and will want more money then he is worth

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

He will be a phillip daniels in terms of age in the next year in a half or so. age getting up there doesnt have the explosvieness anymore and is only 2 years removed from an injury that almost cost him his career so I say no.

I totally called this back in November

Well...I had a little help ;)

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

If we moved C. Griffin to LE he would be more effective than Kearse.... If we brought back Big Daddy he could play LE better....

get my point? We do not need someone else to pay to be on our IR list (Jesse Armstead, C. Griffin, etc.) The Freak did what he needed to in Tennessee and then he got too old and washed up. no thanks!!!

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

not even for the vet min.....too injury proned for my taste

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

I don't feel we need him, I feel the direction of our new DC is youth to mix with the current veterans we currently have for this up comming season.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

way too old..

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

simply put, No.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

I think Kearse would be a monster and is worth the risk.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

Too old and injuries, injuries, injuries. Pass!

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

He's only started 8 games last year and he had 3.5 sacks. It takes two years to fully recover from the knee injury, he could easily have 10 sacks next year and he is only 31. I think he could be our Strahan.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

Um no, can we focus on the draft and free agents who have not been dumped by their teams?? I mean there is a reason for that.

Yeah, the reason was he was making 8 million a year and refused to take less. They wanted him, he just did not want to renegotiate.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

"The Freak" was great at one point but he has had too many injuries at this point in his career. We need youth.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

Look at the Giants, they had a combination. We have a combination also. We need to draft a good defensive end now. But Jevon Kearse will make our line awsome.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

^ No, He will make our line more injury prone.. straight up..

He's not what he used to be, dont play yourself..

I can see the browns or the 49ers maybe taking him. Even maybe the bucs

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

We passed on him a few years ago and we should definitely do the same now.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

Jevon Kearse returns to the Titans.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

...where he will retire I bet.

Re: Eagles going to cut DE Jevon Kearse
 

I'd like to see him regain some of his past form, but he may be next year's Simeon Rice. so glad the front office passed on Rice. Maybe I'll say the same next season about Kearse.
