Jeffery was offered a longer deal and likely more guaranteed money from Minnesota and turned it down to sign with the Eagles. His one-year deal is a bet on himself, his health, and his ability. He also faced a very simple question: Sam Bradford or Carson Wentz? He made the right call.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
