The Chip Kelly stint was a hard time to get through if you were a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. Seeing the man cut DeSean Jackson for no reason, trading away LeSean McCoy for an injury-riddled middle linebacker, while also dishing out Nick Foles was just a string of moves that didn’t make any sense at all.
Perhaps, that’s the reason why former first-round pick Jeremy Maclin decided to pack up and leave the Birds, despite having an incredible season during his contract year. Chip Kelly actually wanted to keep Maclin around at the time, rightfully so.
