Jaire Alexander said he's stepping away from football and even considering retirement. Said his mental health and knee are reasons for this. First as someone whose gone through my own stuff I wish him the best and hope he gets the help he needs. However he should have informed Philly of this at the deadline. This is two teams he's been like yeah I want to play with Lamar Jackson and play in Philly. Howie could have traded for a cb 2 or signed Samuel.
I think the league should veto the trade there should be a rule a player should play one game

Did he play even 1 snap for the Eagles? Seems like they should get their pick back if he never played a snap for them.

No he didn't unless you count practice.

He was a weird late pregame scratch. I figured they just wanted another week to work him in but playing his former team, I still thought it was a little weird that he wasn’t playing. This seems to be the reason.
I hope everything is ok with him. Mental health is important and should be prioritized but a lot of times isn’t unfortunately.

I will say this. Vic fangio is an old school defensive coordinator. He works his players HARD. Might not be for everybody. Not saying his coaching style is playing a factor, but it might.
Just kinda interesting that two recently acquired defensive players retired shortly after joining the eagles. Za’darius smith and now jaire Alexander.

Crazy to think about when a coach is going to be fired before he’s even hired. Kinda seems inevitable tho.
