Considering that he’s only on a one-year, $465,000 deal, I assumed that Eagles hero kicker Jake Elliott would be all over Carson Wentz’s $31,764.71 game check. But it turns out Jake isn’t a greedy bastard like me, as he apparently declined the cash (per Pro Football Talk) and instead gave it to charity:
Well that escalated quickly…
but don't worry, @jake_elliott22 and I got this worked out…

Just to set things straight:
My man @jake_elliott22 and I are excited to be donating and helping out a charity of his choice!

In other Elliott news, Bengals HC Marvin Lewis spent a small part of his Wednesday throwing shade at his former kicker:
Did you see Jake Elliott's FG?
Marvin: "No. He's what? 3 of 5 since he got there?"

We guess that’s to be expected when your team is win-less and the kicker you kept over Elliott missed one on Sunday.
