THE SIDELINES : Eagles to Jackson: No Deal

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with former New York Jets tight end Mickey Shuler, and team owner Norman Braman said the Eagles are ready to play the 1990 season without All-Pro tight end Keith Jackson.

Jackson has refused to report to work with the Eagles without a new contract. Braman told The Philadelphia Inquirer that renegotiating the contract was out of the question.

“We’re not going to renegotiate his contract, I can tell you that categorically,” Braman said during a telephone interview from his summer home in France. “We’re prepared to go into the season without him,” said Braman in his first public comments on the contract dispute.

Also Tuesday, the Eagles signed contract holdout Anthony Toney to a series of three-year contracts.
