DeSean Jackson Apologizes For Handling Of Contract Situation

Steve Smith (CAR) money? Darren Sproles money?

Ike Reese said it best on the post game show, Desean isn’t this teams bread’n’butter like a calvin johnson would be to the lions, he’s part of a core big 3-4 guys that all contribute… he’s just not someone that we live or die with, no doubt he makes this team better when he’s on the field, though. Over Pay the man more than he’s worth what he’s worth

Three years, eighteen million.

I’d rather him play for us, than against us. I really wouldn’t mind it coming back because it’s wrong to use him as the scapegoat for an all around disappointing season (only Juan can take that title), but whether he stays or goes is up in the air. I wouldn’t mind getting another receiver, but I also wouldn’t mind him back.

And give him credit, he like many of the other players this season was terrible early in the season and was a distraction, but he has shown up these last few weeks and has shown when his head is in the game, he is a definite threat.

he’s a good guy and well liked on the team. I’d say this, if they franchise him and make him available for trade, it should be no less than for a 1st in 2013 or 2 2nd rounders. That would give us 3 2nds and a 1st, you trade two 2nds for a late 1st and draft Kendall Wright out of Baylor. With that said though, I’d rather sign him for 4 years and 36 mill.

led the team in tackles.

They also need Desean. Find a steal in the draft and resign DJ.

Reggie Wayne was forced into that position when the team’s true #1 WR (Marvin Harrison) left. He filled the void for a couple years, but ultimately, not a #1.

It’d be utter shame to lose him now. Get the damn contract out of the way so the guy can play with complete focus. And it is a bit disheartening to hear him say how it’s out of his control. That’s bs. If you truly have a bond with this team and its community, then you’ll do what it takes to return and not teeter-totter over which team is paying you what.

This is not the forst season of Jackson’s lack of a teammate type attitude. You saw it last year and the year before. Do you want to pay a player 8-10 mill a year for 4-5 great games and 11-12 mediocre games? Jackson gets up for the Cowboys and Giants after that it’s a crap shoot on what he will contribute. Last year he played well against teams like the Lions, Jags, and Falcons but allowed the Giants to pretty much keep him quite until the end of the game with PUNT RETURN! Paying Jackson over 5 mill a year would be a travesty and set the Eagles up for an extreme loss in the long run.

Let Jackson walk, take the 3rd round comp pick, and pick up one of the top 5 WR FA for 2012 ie Bowe, Colston, Meachum, or Jackson (chargers) which are all bigger than Jackson and open of the feild just as well. What people tend to forget is that Maclin is NOT SLOW! This offense will operate just as well without Jackson as long as the TALENT is replaces the speed.

If he is resigned at 5 mill over 4 years with 15 guaranteed that is the best scenerio for the Eagles. I truly believe anymore than that being asked for will be given by another team.

That would be the most effective type of apology.
