Jackson, Maclin Combine For Five Yards

Oct 31, 2014 11:16 AM

Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson combined for five receiving yards in Sunday's loss by the Philadelphia Eagles to the Redskins.

Nick Foles targeted Jackson nine times, but only completed two passes. Macline received three targets and didn't complete a single pass.

“You know, just wasn’t able to get it to them,” Foles said. “I don’t know. I just wasn’t able to get the ball to them today.

“Those guys are playmakers, you’ve got to be able to get them the ball. They do a lot of great things for us, and they were running hard all day, so as a quarterback I have to figure out [how] when I get my chances, to get them the ball.”

Eagles Could Part Ways With Asomugha In Offseason

Aug 17, 2014 11:51 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to undergo massive change in the offseason and Nnamdi Asomugha could be another player to move on.

Asomugha is expected to earn a base salary of $15 million next season.

According to a source, only $4 million of Asomugha's contract is guaranteed.

Per the source, the contract reduces Asomugha’s pay by $3 million in 2013 if the participates in fewer than 90 percent of the snaps in 2011 or 2012.  Benching Asomugha late in the year for a couple of games would prevent him from hitting that number, dropping his salary to $12 million.
