Miles Austin Is Visiting the Eagles, but Cowboys Fans Burned His Jersey Years Ago

The Eagles have made — if the reaction of the media is anything to base your opinion on — an obnoxious number of roster moves so far this offseason. The draft is still coming up, but they might not be done in free agency. When Jeremy Maclin left, the Eagles were officially downgraded at the wide receiver position, but Miles Austin is reportedly visiting the team and that’s breaking even at best.
According to Kevin Patra at NFL.com, the once-former Cowboy will visit the Eagles this week. The 30-year-old receiver has spent the last few season with the Browns (if you were just asking yourself where the hell he’s been). His career since leaving the big D has been plagued with recurring injuries, which is basically Chip Kelly’s thing now. And Ducks. Injuries and Ducks.
UPDATE: Didn’t verify this, but it’s fun either way:
@CrossingBroad cowboys have 5 mil cap hit on him this year. That's terrific.
