Are they afraid of losing season tickets? I would think that number would be in the low hundreds.
The NFL is a business, you win, you make money. Negative publicity about a players past will blow over in a very short period of time.
There is zero downside in signing this guy, esp. at the price the Eagles got him for.

This is a non-issue, I've been on their waiting list for 8 years now.
I'm just sort of sad the Eagles don't travel to Cleveland this year, I was hoping whoever he landed with would go visit the dog pound.
