Thank you sir

Pay DeSean and he will play as he usually does…

You can read his mind?

I was always on the bandwagon of bringing Jackson back. I blamed the whole situation he was in this year on him and the FO. But I said before and I’ll say it again, I’d rather play with him than against.

Some people say he is either a big play or a decoy. If that’s the case, he may be the best decoy in the NFL because I never see him running with less than 2 people down field with him meaning someone is open underneath.

His wussiness has cost him in every facet of his game, look at the rate stats. Best deep threat? Please. His yards per catch are the lowest since his rookie year his YAC are the lowest of his career. Dangerous in special teams? His average punt return is half of what it’s been the last two years, he didn’t even return one this season. He’s spent too much time waving that hand for a fair catch to be dangerous. Maclin is going to get attention anyway and despite a diminished Desean this year, reduced QB ability and his injuries, he’s putting up numbers at the same rate he has the first two years of his career. I don’t want to pay Jackson to continue to be a buffoon out there.

I would have agreed with you after last season. However this year he’s shown his true colors. He’s scared. He’s fair catching, he’s running out of bounds, he’s dropping sure TD’s faster than Pinkston did. If he wants to stay for a few million, sure, I’ll take him for the 700-900 yards and 3-6 TDs he’s capable of putting out, but I’d rather allocate money for Shady and Maclin and whomever else. There are a lot of good wideouts available in FA this off-season and a few good ones going into the draft. Desean as he is now post-Dunta, is VERY replaceable.

DeSean Jackson is t-46 in catches, 25th in yards, and t-73 in touchdown catches. I think he’s replaceable.

Mike Wallace is the best (and most consistent) deep threat in the league. I think DJAX is a very good (not great) player but honestly, with the way Riley Copper makes catches and having Avant in the slot and us likely to take a guy in the 2nd or 3rd round, I’m pretty cool with him not being here. We could possibly trade our two 2nds for another 1st, so we could take the kid from Baylor and not miss a beat. Either way, Eagles are on the up-and-up after a year together.

would you rather pay him or shady/maclin?

This isn’t MLB where there’s no salary cap ton consider. If DeSean wants to sign a reasonable contract, then sure, bring him back. But if he’s looking for Larry Fitzgerald money (as he has previously stated), he ain’t getting it. We’re not the Raiders.

He’s a pussy.

DeSean Jackson – 49 receptions, 785 yards, 3 TDs

Jabar Gaffney – 58 receptions, 842 yards, 4 TDs

Random guesses and assertions are random.

the only thing right is 8.5 million and year and adding another 8.5 yards per punt return.

Jackson showed his value to the Eagles this year, and it isn’t much. Offer him $5M per year for 3 years. If he can do better, let him go, and draft a replacement in round 2.

Hmm…no.

1. Offense will be fine since DeSean hasn’t been a factor. Even if the ball is thrown his way, he drops it.
2. He is not the best NFL deep threat.
3. Special Teams threat? This season he has run backwards or kicked it in to high gear to run out of bounds.
4. Even with more attention, with Maclin’s build/height, he is able to still catch the ball in traffic.
5. If DeSean wants to get paid like a top 20 receiver, that’s fine. Not a top 5.

With all of this said, I would like to see him settle for getting paid less and we can keep him. If we can’t, oh well. Chad Hall is a great replacement.
