DeSean Jackson To Report To Camp As Soon As Monday

This is old news at this point, but it is being widely reported that DeSean Jackson is set to end his short holdout and report to Eagles camp. While I'm sure in the wake of what happened to Leonard Weaver that we're all a bit more sensitive about the fragility of a players' career and we understand their desire for financial security, that still doesn't change what I see as the absurd timing of DeSean's holdout. Like I said previously, his holdout became official about 48 hours after the team was legally allowed to begin negotiating contracts again. Now I'm sure there had been enough communication between the two sides previously to ensure the Eagles had a fair idea of what he wanted... but as we can clearly see, the front office had a very aggressive plan for the first 3-4 days of free agency that did not include renegotiating contracts of players they already have.
However, I have no doubt that the plan eventually included that. It just makes sense that they would have wanted to extend Jackson and likely Michael Vick as well at some point prior to year starting. Either way, it appears as though Jackson has had a change of heart and will now show up in Lehigh. If I had to speculate, there's three reasons why that may be.
- The Eagles probably got word to DeSean and his agent that if he wanted to talk about a new deal, he would have to come to camp to do it. This is certainly something they and a lot of other teams have done before. It's a signal from the team that they are willing to deal and a show of good faith by the player by getting to work. If I had to place a bet, I would assume that this almost assuredly what has happened and I would say is a very good sign for the chances of Jackson being re-upped and happy this year.
- Under the terms of the new CBA. Players are now fined $30,000 a day for every unexcused absence from practice. Given DeSean's modest salary for this year, a 19 day holdout would have meant that his fines exceeded his entire 2011 salary. What's worse, if he did not report by the 23rd day of the league year, he would have lost an accrued year of service toward free agency. In other words, this new CBA is a killer for players under contract who want to hold out. It used to be that a guy could show up six games into the season and get credit for the year. That does not seem to be the case anymore. So DeSean was faced with the prospect of losing his entire 2011 salary and having to show up in late August anyway. As it stands, he's already racked up $120,000 in fines. Of course, they could always go away should a new deal be reached.
- Finally, and I really do think this played a least a small little part... We know how much DeSean loves the spotlight and right now the entire media has it's eyes set firmly on the campus of Lehigh University and he is not there to be a part of it. His good friend and the guy he's been texting to recruit all summer, Nnamdi Asomugha just rolled into town and you can bet DeSean wanted to be there to greet him. And when August 4th rolls around and Nnamdi steps on the field for those WR vs DB 1 on 1 drills, it would each DeSean alive to not be able to take him on. I remember last year, how DeSean would have other WRs cut him in line so he get matched up with Asante Samuel, that's just the kind of kid he is. You can't tell me he doesn't want a piece of Nnamdi.
There's no doubt in my mind that he wants to be part of what's going on over there. That certainly doesn't mean he wants to do it for only a half a million dollars this year... but he wants to be there.

I really hope
That playing against Nnamdi on a regular basis in practice will help DeSean deal with press corners. If Nnamdi is the best then you would figure that he could teach DeSean a trick or two about how to get off the line against the more physical approach.
The Jruth shall be told.
it should help out both our corners and wide recievers

But...
he doesn’t add any muscle to his body during the off season, stays the same, and with that frail body, how many hits do you think he can survive ?? How long can the Eagles keep him from getting hurt again like he did against the Falcons (I blame that one on Kolb, he was running for his life and put Desean in danger)… He reminds me a lot of Iverson, Allen never changed during his whole time here, his game/skill level pretty much remained the same… it was exciting at first, but then it got a little old…

So was big strong Leonard weaver
Flaming yawn
Desean
Doesn’t often take big hits. He’s too elusive. If he is looking downfield, he avoids direct contact like the plague. He’ll run a couple yards sideways so he can take an easier hit. I don’t think anyone has ever seen him put his head down and barrel… that’s where most players get hurt. I think he’ll be just fine as long as he stays mindful.

I dont think ts fair to throw someones work ethic in the trash, without evidence to support it.
You cant just say “DeSean is happy with what he has, doesnt want to learn anything new”.

whaaaa??? #10 is for sure one of the biggest students of the game
DHB has speed, Reggie bush has speed, devin hester has speed… thats not enough.. desean is pound for pound probably the smallest bigplay maker in the history of the league, and he does this while being trippled and doubled teamed. With 3 different qb’s in his career. you cant be the focalpoint of every defense the eagles play if ur not learning something new for you to be that constant threat, being a playmaker means u can make plays regardless of the defense. lets not forget who he was training hard with (and still does sometimes) before coming into the league Mr.Rice. Desean gets typecast mostly for only his ON the field antics (which only come after a big play might I add) which isnt fair. i mean we loved ocho cinco several yrs back (wen we had a shot at’em) and his antics were/are far worse than anything jackson has done.
Yeah, Jax in all reality is a stand-up guy. If I were making money like that to do something I love I would showboat on the field too.

Good sirs, I question your fandom!

This is puzzling as you same fellows wait in lines to speak with this individual and hope to embrace him in a gentlemanly manner. Yet, ill conceived words still flow. My dissapointment in this particular imsance is grave, indeed!

@AlbertBreer: Colleague @JasonLaCanfora mentioned Eagles as potential landing spot for Randy Moss … Remember, Philly made a real run at him in FA in 08

At this point they’re just going to throw every free agents name out there in connection with the Eagles. This one sounds like pure speculation and not based on anything.
Plus the way they’re doing things this year we’re not going to hear anything until its done. The media at this point doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing ahead of time.
Please god no
any day is a good day to be a Dodgers, Eagles, Penguins, Clippers, Texas A&M fan! except when they loose

Andre Rison
Was added to the already loaded Packers when they won their SB. He even made some nice plays for them in the playoffs and SB. Randy Moss coming in and running some routes wouldn’t hurt no one.
Also, we did already take a stab at him, and he took less money to stay with the Pats. They then didn’t win the SB. He might still be hungry, and he is like in the All time TD’s list.
With all that being said, I don’t see it being a problem to see the Eagles landing him. It might help them like Rison helped the Pack
Damn...
You’re going way back now… didn’t his house burn down or something ?

2004 & the year they went undefeated w/ Feeley pulling a McNabb to close the game. Which is actually a bitter-sweet compliment.
Resign Vick first to free up more $$$. I’d love to cut Hanson as well, but having him as a NB fill-in/dime-back is a costly comfort.

We've actually got plenty money free
But if the demands are 5y/$60m (Yes, I know, it’s a starting point), the demands aren’t going to happen.
UMMM guess hes not coming back just yet.....
Profootballtalk.com reports that DeSean Jackson is not yet ready to end his holdout.
well i dont know the update on the bottome contradicts this:
UPDATE: Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com reports, citing a team official, that Jackson plans to end his holdout "really soon." Though Jackson could change his mind at any time, his intention as of Sunday night was to not report, absent a new deal.
http://www.rotoworld.com/sports/nfl/football?r=1
rotoworld is sighting it but it kinda seems the report was written before all this cam out and then was updated. So i really dont know whats going on and Im pretty sure no one else does either.
WHYY?
I would play on this team for free finacial security my butt he’s making 400000 thousand dollars more than me he shoulda been strapped up first day of practice to set an example for other rookies and to go get a ring I never thought id say this but trading him is viable option cause obviously paying him is dangerous he is more injury prone than vick in my eyes

YES.. You make perfect sense.
D Jackson was paid 3.4 million in 4 years.. Kolb made 4.2 mill to sit the bench for 4 years and then got an extension for 12.2 mill.. We dumped over 16 mill for a backup unproven qb in Kolb. And yet you say trade Desean because he for some strange reason (lmao!) thinks he deserves more money. You guys always say the stupidest shit. If it was up to most of you guys on these boards we would have traded Vick and Desean. And had Kolb starting along with Riley Cooper. The only reason every free agent wants to play here is because of VIck and Desean.. Desean is the one who got Nnamdi here..
Yea they are racist.. YES
another stupid comment
OK
Do you not remember all of the posts about how we needed to trade Vick and Kolb was the better solution in the long run? HUH? are you serious? Remember all of the people saying we should start Kolb and go through the growing pains? I firmly remember because I was one of the few who was arguing with most of you guys. It’s funny now because yall were the same people who were making sarcastic comments at me. lmao!!! However, my response was for (nnamdiplusdrcplusasante) who said trading Desean is a viable option and that comment IMO is some of the stupid shit. Like I said before. If it were up to most of you guys the eagles would have traded Vick and Desean and had Kevin Kolb starting. But It’s all good in the hood playa. Lets keep this positive.
People were making the KOlb argument before Vick had fully proved himself.
Since last season ended and everything Vick did there was almost no one calling for Vick to be traded. You can’t just talk about this stuff without any context being acknowledged.
Michael Vick
MV was getting bashed alot on these boards…before he proved everyone wrong. Same talk about VY…ok I inderstand opinions…but once a guy joins your team, he’s a brother. I’m all for keeping it positive…its a Super Bowl years folks. Enjoy!
1st there was Run Ricky Run @ UT, then Run Vince Run, now it's time for Fly Eagles Fly!!!

Pay That Man
I totally agree. In this order, sign MV to a 3 year Fat Ass Incentive laden contract. cut a few more kindda ok, maybe the guy players…Give #10 however many years he wants guaranteed, tied to the number of games he is able to play. Big money, but over the course of the 6yr (probably what he’s seeking) contract.

NOW BEING REPORTED THAT JACKSON WILL NOT REPORT TODAY
Updating a previous item, Profootballtalk.com reports that DeSean Jackson is not yet ready to end his holdout.
Perhaps partially fueled by a ridiculous Michael Irvin rant on NFL Network late last week, Jackson remains dug in. He’ll risk $30,000 daily fines until August 9, which is the key date for any holdout. Players not attending camp by that time can lose an “accrued year” toward free agency. Jackson is scheduled for free agency in 2012. It’s a safe bet that he’ll show by August 9.

Every time a Cowboy hates, an Eagle gets his wings.
GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve never seen so many football fans shit on their teams best receiver saying things like.. Ohh, he isn’t even a top 5 receiver. He’s going to get hurt. etc.. It’s funny how every other teams fans think the guys is amazing. But his own teams fans shit on him. And thats the truth.. Correct me if im wrong but, isnt Desean making roughly the same amount of money this year as chad hall? WOW! and that means he should shut up and show up anyway?
agreed
The combination of Vick and DeSean make this offense dynamic. Something it hasn’t been in many years. Opposing DC’s have to game plan around that. Just because DeSean isn’t that big target in the redzone doesn’t diminish his value. He’s fast, elusive and has great hands and vision. He should be getting paid what he is worth. I always feel like the Eagles undervalue players that they draft and don’t pay them like they should. If DeSean was a free agent and had done what he did for another team, Banner and Co. would have definitely paid him by now. It’s a disgrace.
Desean deserves to be paid much better than he is now.
No one is disputing this. But a holdout right now given the CBA and free agency situation is silly. Saying that isn’t shitting on Desean, it’s simply pointing out the reality of the situation. And no, he does not deserve Top 5 WR money. As awesome as he is, he has limitations and is not worth the same salary as Andre Johnson. Top 10 is more in line with his skillset IMO. Again, simply acknowledging the reality of the situation isn’t shitting on a player. It is possible to be a fan of a player and also have some objectivity.
Blame the holdout on Rosenhaus
DeSean wants to get paid by DR is pulling the strings. I guess he thinks he is “outsmarting” the Eagles. Reality is he is just costing his client money.
Seriously, is there really that much of a difference between Top 5 and Top 10. Seems like semantics to me. For all you objective fans, when this guy goes elsewhere to play next year…ahhemm (Dallas is coming to mind), who is going to be the go to guy on offense? Are the Eagles just going to draft another Top 10 receiver? DeSean is going to get paid to play somewhere, I think it should be here. Objectively, I don’t have to pay hime, but I sure do like watching him play football. I am not saying sell the farm, but sweeten the pot. Since when were football contracts completely guarenteed?
I have no doubt Rosenhaus is a very big part of Jackson's holdout.
And I do want the Eagles to pay Djax so that he stays an Eagle, but if Drew boy is demanding Top 5 money I understand why the Eagles would balk at that.
As far as guaranteed contracts, perhaps that is where the problem is? Desean understandably wants a lot of guaranteed money and the Eagles aren’t at the same place?
That is all I am trying to say...
except the top 5 money thing. That feels too arbitrary to me. it seems top tier players (top 5) at a position get the big contracts and then there is a major drop off. I can agree that he isn’t in that top 5, but it could be argued he is #6 or #7. If there was a salary range that he was worth for a top 5 player, I would definitely slot him in the lower 50% but would go as high at 60% with the right incentives. No need to make him the highest paid WR in the game. But he is definitely worth more than a second tier.
