Sooooo, the Eagles didn't want to fulfill their part of the bargain but wanted said bargain to stay in place?!?!?

How does a team breaching a contract not render the contract null and void?

I know a potentially good topic would be how the 1963 AFL season in general and the 1963 Chargers in particular made it possible for the the Jets to draft Joe Namath.

These videos are awesome. Come for the 80/90s NFL content, stay for the background music!

The Michael Scott reference was funny lmao

“We want him to work something out “…… seems to me it was worked out. If you wanted him, you pay him

Welp, given how Jaworski was great with the Eagles and the Rams' starting QBs from when he was traded to the end of his career are basically all just tough answers to trivia questions now, it seems like the Rams backed the wrong pony in giving Haden the nod over him.

Pat Haden was a USC guy. They wanted to sell tickets. I lived in Southern California, and many of their Monday Night games were blacked out on TV from poor ticket sales. They couldn't sell out or get to that 80% something attendance threshold. I was under 10 years old at the time, so don't remember in detail.

@@someperson8151 wow that's honestly weird to me that the Rams couldn't sell out during this time period, given that they were always good and were the only show in town.

One of my all-time favorite Cowboy opponents. Although he used to hurt Dallas a lot, I still enjoyed watching him play, and he was terrific as an analyst on Edge NFL Matchup back in the day. And those late 70's Eagle uniforms were some of the best in the league.

What about the 1974 Eagles at Saints game that was STOPPED for 20 minutes because of fans booing????

Jaws probably still has PTSD from Lawrence Taylor. He probably wanted to be released so he could go to the AFC and avoid LT.

Sometimes I watch your videos then when they end I’m like “NOOO” I forget how short they are lol

I was hoping you'd explain the ramifications of the team not paying the money owed to him. Last I checked you couldn't just...not...pay someone. That's by definition breach of contract.

I was at that game in 1980 against the Seahawks in Seattle. Exciting game even though the Seahawks lost as the Eagles were 8-1. Even had a trick play that nearly worked with Efren Herrera

So Jaws arrived in Philly just like he left? Bizarre!

Philly had to pay him the 600K or waive him, so of course it ended that way. To say Philly could have kept him without paying him shows ignorance of contracts.

The Eagles didn’t help Jaws with bad drafts from 83-85. Michael Haddix, Kenny Jackson, and a OL who went to jail for rape, were all busts. That OL went to Indiana, a Big 10 school, and taken ahead of Jim Lachey a HOF OL from a Big 10 school! Buddy Ryan said Haddix looked like a fat reject guard from the USFL!!

The USFL took a lot of good players from college in those years. A few teams were proactive and drafted for future rights of USFL players before the USFL folded.

I don't hate the current midnight green jerseys, but I'd like to see the Eagles bring back kelly green.

Jaws had a pretty solid career seeing he came out of Youngstown State (today an FCS school but at the time the equivalent of DII) and spent the first few years as a Rams backup. Of course we know him today from his time with ESPN, but I digress.

No Ron Jaworski video is complete without clips of him being sacked by Lawrence Taylor...repeatedly.

I remember when the Dolphins picked him up, I was so excited! Marino was out and we had a good team. Now, we had a veteran QB who wasn't going to lose games because of bad decisions or rookie mistakes. Love those old Eagles uniforms with the gray pants.

This is an up and coming sports channel. Great videos.

almost every pass shown in this video is caught by harold carmichael (the original randy moss)....still the tallest receiver to play the game but was just the start, my favorite jersey still is that real green 17 with the huge stripes(and i'm a steeler fan)....also one of the best reps and human beings the game has ever had, not to mention the numbers playing in an era where 60 catches was like 100 today and 1000 yards was like 1500...he finally was inducted into the hall of fame at least 25 years too late...a 7th round pick who walked on the football team at southern, what a talent and what a truly great man

Great video...love the Michael Scott reference...how these things happen or why players believe what they believe is really amazing. You would think the lawyers for both sides would have these things figured out as to who is and is not a free agent

I learn so much from these videos. Well done.

Love these flashback memories stories

Very underrated channel

Jaworski is still the most beloved QB in Philadelphia history in the Super Bowl era. (Sorry, Nick Foles Fan Club). Jaws was a tough guy who stood in the pocket, had a rifle arm (thus, the nickname Polish Rifle) and he was the QB who beat hated rival Dallas in the 1980 NFC Championship game to get to Super Bowl 15. The guy has a likable personality too.

In the NFL only two things are guaranteed : Your signing bonus is guaranteed, Injury is guaranteed. Given who his father was, I would have made sure the contract was EXACTLY RIGHT!

Get all the guaranteed money that you can because the rest of an NFL contract isn't worth the paper that it's printed on.

Man Ron took a serious beating in his career

You should do a video explaining how different free agency was pre salary cap and through the different era's from the days of teams having full exclusive rights, to plan b free agency, and through post salary cap and open free agency. A video on Marcus Allen and Al Davis and how Marcus was forced to stay with the Raiders for a few seasons after his contract was up since the raiders would not release his exclusive rights would be interesting. What happened to Marcus and many other players is what finally lead the NFLPA to insist on the end of teams being able to pin down players with exclusive rights which essentially meant that teams could withhold free agency from a certain number of players each season. Its more complicated then that but it meant essentially a team could withhold some players rights to free agency as long as they wanted. The end of exclusive rights is why we the franchise tag now. Franchise tag is much better, since a team can only do it for three years not forever is they want. The team has to pay the player progressively more money each year they are franchised, instead the player just keeping the same pay from his previous contract.

Jaworski actually played football? I thought he was Mel Kipers press secretary. 🤔

1. Nice play fake at 0:37? 2. You said Jaws was traded by the Rams to the Eagles even though he wasn’t under contract to the Rams. Something similar happened with Jadeveon Clowney and the Texans in 2019. Houston tried to trade him to Miami, but since Clowney was not under contract he could choose his own trade partner. That’s how he ended up with the Seahawks.

You don't actually say how the Eagles still had contract, since from where I stand, they broke their end of the contract, meaning he can go into free agency, as the Eagles have broken the trust
