Jason Babin
 

Do we go after him since the Eagles cut him?

Re: Jason Babin
 

At 32, age may be a factor...

Re: Jason Babin
 

Oh God that's so tempting... He was a MONSTER last year, but not so much this season (although no-one on the Eagles has looked good this year.) I'm not gonna lie, I kind of want to at least put in a waiver claim for him. Plenty of other teams will as well so who knows if we'd get him but it really couldn't hurt to try.

Re: Jason Babin
 

We need younger guys that will be with us for a while not stop gaps.

Re: Jason Babin
 

No

Re: Jason Babin
 

YES!

Re: Jason Babin
 

I wouldn't be against it if Spags felt that Babin was what this defensive front needed to become even a little better, but other than that, I don't think he is a guy the Saints should go after.

Re: Jason Babin
 

Of course we should give it a shot. I'm not quite satisfied watching our defensive ends have one of the worst pass rush productivity ratings in the league. Cameron Jordan is one of the best in the league against the run... but now that Gallette is injured and missing games who exactly is giving us a good pass rush?

Re: Jason Babin
 

Kick the tires, let see what he's got left.

Re: Jason Babin
 

No... there was a reason he was cut... he has no more left n the tank....

Re: Jason Babin
 

News????

Re: Jason Babin
 

Save the money. Get someone who has more to offer.

Re: Jason Babin
 

Im on the fence..30+ sacks in the last 3 years..who do we have that is even close to that?

Re: Jason Babin
 

Amobi Okoye as well. Have to at least consider.

Yes. 3rd in NFL in sacks. No guaranteed money, and he already collected his one time veteran separation pay at Seattle. Bring him in for use on obvious passing downs.

Worst case it doesn't work and you cut him at the end of the year.

There is absolutely no downside fir us. He has more pass rush threat on a bad day than most of our players, he is exactly the type of player Spags defense needs.

He was cut from Philly as a financial move. The Eagles are clearing money to overhaul in the off season. Def coordinator already gone, Reed will be fine soon, as well as Vick.

Re: Jason Babin
 

I concur, if you're looking to breathe some life into the pash rush right now, he's your man ... a change of scenery would probably do Babin some good also. No long term deal.

I added a little after your reply. Lol

Re: Jason Babin
 

Hey, no problem, thanks for doing all the heavy lifting, :lol:, I'm just along for the ride.

Re: Jason Babin
 

NFLSirius. I plagiarized from this morning commentary.

Every Wed morning between 5:00-5:30 Ross Tucker has Andrew Brandt (former VP of Player Finance for the Packers) on. Great insight into all things, Brees contract, this item etc...

Re: Jason Babin
 

I'd try him out.

Re: Jason Babin
 

Don't think we will have a realistic shot at him though. If more than one team shows interest, then the waiver claim process starts and the team with the worst record gets first dibs. We have atleast 10 teams in front of us

Re: Jason Babin
 

15th on the list as of this week

Re: Jason Babin
 

So the question is if he drops all the way to us.. Should we try him out? I say yes.

Re: Jason Babin
 

Its pretty much a no brainer if we have a roster spot and available $.

There is zero risk.

Re: Jason Babin
 

REPORT: It hasn’t taken long for Babin to start lining up interviews. He is on his way to Atlanta to interview with the Falcons and will proceed to the New Orleans Saints following his interview with Atlanta. From there Jason will head to Denver on Wednesday night to talk shop with the Broncos. Another team that could be interested in his services are the Detroit Lions who also run the wide-9.

Eagles Cut Jason Babin. Making Sense of the Move.

Re: Jason Babin
 

Falcons couldn't possibly have him on the field Thursday night.

Re: Jason Babin
 

Atlanta...lmao yeah ok. We gonna put on the nawlins charm and it's gonna be a wrap!

If we can get him its got to be worth a look.Unless Smith vastly reduces his contract he should be getting cut and if Babin could do the job for a year or two it would give time to get some other defensive players in and draft a pass rusher next year.

Re: Jason Babin
 

They could. Remember they cut Edwards a week or so ago and would love to have a pass rush specialist against Brees and Babin wants to be on a playoff team. Notice I didn't say championship team.:bng:

Re: Jason Babin
 

The game is in 33 hours and he has at least 3-4 teams to visit. Then negotiate a contract.

Not very possible.

Re: Jason Babin
 

I could be wrong but if you put in a waiver claim there is nothing to negotiate, you have to pay what is left owed to him this season which is $1.6 million. Once he clears waivers, which would be after today then he is free to sign with whomever he wants and negotiate a salary. Again I could be wrong but I believe that's how it works.

Re: Jason Babin
 

Cant visit 4 teams in one day... It takes damn near 1/2 a day just to fly from Houston to New Orleans...

Presently he is visiting teams.

Re: Jason Babin
 

It was a front office move to start releasing these guys early. This is the end of the Reid Era in Philly and Babin frankly was becoming a bit of a whiner.

That being said, he's looking for a short term contract with a team that has a shot playing the post season. He's still got a LOT left in the tank and we haven't had a end pass rusher worth his water in a few years...

I say, grab him!

Re: Jason Babin
 

Let him clear waviers and will see

Re: Jason Babin
 

Reportedly claimed by the Jags

Re: Jason Babin
 

Yep

Jaguars secure Jason Babin’s contract

APWhen defensive end Jason Babin was cut by the Eagles, he probably thought he’d be upgrading his chances of playing for a contender.

If he did, he thought wrong.

Per a league source, Babin was awarded to the Jaguars, who at 2-9 were second on the priority list. At this point, it’s not known who else made a claim for his contract; it’s only known that the Chiefs, who have top priority, didn’t.

The next question becomes whether Babin will make noise about being involuntarily shipped to a bad team, which now holds his rights through 2015. Apart from playing for a bad team, Babin will now be playing in London once per year over the next three seasons.

If Babin opts to retire in lieu of playing for Jacksonville, the Jags would be able to recover $900,000 in signing bonus money, along with the remaining proration of his signing bonus for 2012, which by our calculations is another $88,000.Plus, he’d be giving up $1.69 million for roughly a month of work.

Re: Jason Babin
 

Word around Detroit has been they would be interested if he cleared waivers ... didn't want to foot his contract. Jags got him?, it's all water under the bridge now.

Re: Jason Babin
 

Listening on the radio on the way home... comments were made onhow he gave up on some plays and thats why the eagles cut him. Not sure how true this is because its media and they like to start bull****

Re: Jason Babin
 

No the eagles are done and over the cap so they are shutting everything down that they can.

Re: Jason Babin
 

Bust, no way basin at least has had success
