Per Sack Freak Out

Peter King thinks Brian Westbrook might be able to carry the Eagles into the playoffs on his back (and legs), and does the math on Jevon Kearse’s salary per sack: $1.21 million. It is a damning counterargument to Eagle fans that have demanded more high profile free agent signings. Note: I’m not one of them, notwithstanding his per sack cost, I think Kearse had an intangible impact on many games that did not appear in the stats. Also, Kearse’s Eagles career will be cut short by a devastating 3 ligament tear knee injury that, don’t forget, he suffered against the Giants in overtime last year. A game that never should have gone into overtime but for Andy Reid’s offensive play blunders.
