I think the Jets came in with a legitimate offer. At that point, I hadn't had one from the Eagles. I had to think, 'I've really got to work up here [in New York]? Do you really want to deal with that on a weekly basis?
When you look at my campaign, I don't go around sugarcoating things.
The biggest change we have to tackle that's out there is that we're digging the hole deeper and deeper and spending is totally out of control. And that's something that, quite frankly, is affecting future generations. You're giving a lot of debt to them and you can't keep doing it. It's not helping anybody.
It's been in the back of my head for five or six years, but more on the local level to get involved and try to create a better environment for my children and grandchildren.
I'm a starting right tackle on probably most teams in this league. But it comes down to money. It's a business decision.
