The BIZARRE Ending to Tony Eason's NFL CAREER | 1989 Jets

During the 1989 NFL season, the New England Patriots cut quarterback Tony Eason, and he was claimed on waivers by the New York Jets. And initially, Eason refused to report to the team because the Jets had Ken O'Brien on their roster. The bizarre reason why he didn't want to play with O'Brien? Turns out, the two men were best friends, and Eason was willing to sacrifice his NFL career so as not to ruin their relationship OFFICIAL JAGUARGATOR9 MERCHANDISE: https://jg9shop.com/ New listings every week!
