Deebo & Joe - Part 2: Eagles Reluctant To Pay Jalen Carter + Deebo's HILARIOUS Bill Cowher Story

**James Harrison** (0:00)
The Eagles, man, are reluctant to pay. Jalen Carter. Albert Brewer says the Eagles are hesitant to pay Carter and that the team wants to see a bit more from him from a character perspective. If Carter won't give them that, if Carter won't give them that flexibility now, maybe he'll just wait another year, which would make it, which would make this a little like George Pickens situation in Dallas, where the team might want to see a little more from a player, just from a character perspective before committing long-term, Brewer wrote. Of course, Carter was involved in the high-profile incident where he spit on your guy, got ejected six seconds into the opener.
Hey, man, what do you think? You think they got a legit reason or they're just trying to lower the ticket?

**Joe Haden** (1:01)
Lower the ticket. I tried, Deebo, the NFL, they're going to try to find any reason not to pay you that back. Do you know what I'm saying? So anything personal, anything that wasn't really that serious when it was going on, they're going to try to find out reasons to not give you that max contracts. So like that, with teams, and if they do have anything with questionable characters, they're going to just start putting stuff out there and making you look like you need to take less.
So I mean, you know how it is, they got your rights, they kind of got you by the balls, you can't really do nothing. So that's why I always try to say, just try to stay out the way as much as you possibly can, because they're trying to find reasons the entire time not to pay you. Once you get, once you're out there balling on the contract, it's all good. But soon you start getting into negotiations. Every little thing is a big thing. Now it's, oh, oh no, hold up, man. Like you was, and they can do that cause they have rights, they have your rights. They can franchise tag you, they can do certain things. So once it's time to negotiate, all of a sudden stuff starts coming out. So just trying to stay out of the way as long as possible. So I think that's what they're doing. They're just, you know, if some day and then you've seen it. Do you seen the little spit, whatever, some like anything that was a little spit, that was a real spit, that's not a little spit.
But yeah, anything that they seen you do can be used against you in the court of law, in the court of contract.

**James Harrison** (2:32)
Bro, hey, listen, I'm going to have to go with them on this, man. Like I'm sitting back and I'm the owner.
I'm 100% with them. This is not a talent issue.

**Joe Haden** (2:48)
That was it.

**James Harrison** (2:49)
He has talent. This is a maturity issue. You can't spare nobody.
Like you can't do that, dude. Just a few months ago, you like, do you want, what is it? They looking at something 30, 30 plus a year, possibly guaranteeing what? Probably at least 60, 70% of that on guarantee. And now we know that you have a issue and you already, so that you couldn't control yourself on something that was not even uncontrollable.
Like I can't have you tossed out of a game for multiple weeks because you decided to spit on somebody else or you did something slick and sly in the trenches. Like I can't allow that. And you playing on the front line, bro. You know how much bullshit going on on the front line where you can't react to it. It ain't like getting spit on or nothing like that, but it's a little nutmeg stuff here and there. And because you're not the first one to take it off, Oh, you're gonna be the one to get caught. Oh, yeah, you're caught. Reacting to what they did. So you got to keep a cool head. And you already showed me that you couldn't do that in a situation where you should not even have got hot.
So, and then when you look at it, they're saying this, you know, other instances that, you know, that aren't publicly known that, you know, that they know of that. So yes, 100%.
And like you said, with the Pickens thing, dude, if Pickens didn't have any character issue or anything, man, he would have been paid. He would have been, he would have been paid, bro. He would have still been in Pittsburgh, honestly, like paid. But when it come down to it, they like, yo, we know, we've heard what it is. You came here, yes, you did good. And for the most part, we didn't have really any real issues. But as they said, coming out at the end of the year, it was this, it was that, that, that, that. Okay. How easy is it for you to go ahead and act right for a year? How anybody can act right for a year? You know what I'm saying? But when they sign that deal, it ain't gonna be a year to deal.
