A Crossing Broad tipster popped up on Wednesday afternoon, saying that Eagles receiver Alshon Jeffery is purchasing a $2.4 million dollar house on Philadelphia’s Main Line.

It’s a new construction featuring a full one acre lot, five bedrooms, five bathrooms, 7,500 square feet, a huge, multi-car garage and all sorts of custom finishes. It’s a Bryn Mawr property listed on Zillow as “pending” and here’s a portion of the blurb:

“BEST OF THE MAIN LINE Radnor Township Chic New Construction! Set for August Delivery and masterfully built on an expansive 1 acre Level lot in Bryn Mawr, this home’s fresh Modern aesthetic is unmatched. This spacious 5 Bedroom home marries the grandeur of a traditional Main Line Estate with a floor plan that is mindful of modern living.”

Sounds nice, and looks even better. Check this place out:

Records show this property was sold to the construction company for $600,000 back in 2018, so they turned a huge profit. They’re still listed publicly as the owner, which will change when the sale is complete and paperwork is processed. Then we’ll find out if our tipster was right.

Obviously the real question here is this:

Why would Alshon be buying a new place in the Philadelphia area? We’re all under the impression that he doesn’t have a long-term future with the Eagles, and there were numerous reports out there saying the Birds had looked to trade him. Recently, however, he’s healthy, his snaps are up, and the Saint’s TD catch was his first score since December 1st of 2019.

Alshon signed his four-year, $52 million contract back in December of 2017. It was later restructured to guarantee his 2020 salary while providing some cap relief. In 2021, according to Over the Cap, he hits the cap at $18 million and carries a $10 million dead cap charge if waived.

It’s interesting to think about. Why buy a new house here? Is he planning on staying for a while? Maybe he just likes the area. Perhaps it’s not even for him, and he’s purchasing for somebody else to live there or just adding another property to the portfolio. It could mean any number of things.

We will continue to “effort” information, as they say.
