LeSean McCoy has 25th highest selling jersey, is unimpressed by Giants' offseason moves
LeSean McCoy talked to Bart Hubbach of the NY Post, and I assume McCoy was asked a direct question about the Giants. His response:
McCoy seems to love mixing it up with the Giants. What about the Redskins and Cowboys? Diversify, Shady.
In other Shady-related news, the NFLPA released a list of the top 50 jersey sales in the NFL last season.
Only one Eagles player appeared on the list. That would be McCoy, at 25. The entire list:

Some notes:
• Come on Eagles fans. Ryan Tannehill has more jersey sales than any Eagles player? Represent.
• People who bought Trent Richardson jerseys after the Colts traded for him are less than fired up by his 2.9 yards per carry.
• Who the hell would buy a Miles Austin jersey? He hasn't been good since 2010.
• Similarly, who would buy a Darren McFadden jersey? In his six year career, he has averaged 618 rushing yards and 3.8 TDs per season. He has also never played more than 13 games in a season.
• How is Eli Manning 8th? I mean... I get it. He won a pair of Super Bowls, but wouldn't you already own an Eli jersey by now if you were that big a fan? It just seems like an odd time to make that purchase, seeing as he was brutally bad in 2013. Maybe that's just the go-to jersey purchase for moms buying Christmas presents, because of name recognition? What say you, Eli?
Thanks, Eli.
• Russell Wilson at #1, huh? I guess there's a new generation of bandwagon fans on the horizon.
• The Cowboys had to cut DeMarcus Ware because they can't manage their salary cap.
