Chip: Confused by Boykin comments; Kendricks is staying

Chip Kelly said that he was surprised by comments Brandon Boykin made to CSNPhilly that the Eagles coach was "uncomfortable around grown men of our culture." Boykin was traded to the Steelers on Saturday for a conditional fifth round draft pick.

While Boykin wasn't specific or available to expand on his comments, he seemed to imply what a few other ex-Eagles have said about Kelly: He has trouble relating to black players. Kelly said that he didn't think that was the case.

"When he left here last night [he] shook my hand, gave me a hug," Kelly said.
