How Might Drew Brees Affect DeSean Jackson?

One of the angles we've been watching in the DeSean Jackson saga has been the market for other free agent WRs. It will be significant both in that what other guys get will help set the market for him and if the team decides to let him walk we want to know who might replace him. We've heard that Dwayne Bowe could be franchised and Stevie Johnson is apparently far apart with the Bills...
But one other important guy will be Saints WR Marques Colston. At 28, he's older than Jackson, but still not old and he's been incredibly consistent in his career. He doesn't have Jackson's speed, but he's got the size and strength DeSean lacks. They could certainly see similar money this offseason.
He's significant because he very well may be hitting the open market thanks to the Saints inability to get a deal done with Drew Brees. Reportedly the sides are far apart and the Saints are preparing to use the tag on Brees.
That means that won't have the tag available to keep Colston and he'll hit the open market. At that point he could either help set the market for Jackson, or the Eagles could choose to cut Jackson loose and go after a guy who's 6-4 and has had at least 1,000 yards in all but one of his 6 NFL seasons.
I'm sure no one would be too upset if that happened.

Even if the Saints
do get a contract done with Brees, I don’t think they’ll use the tag on Colston. I’d think they use the tag on Nicks first.

I would love to get Colston. I still think you would have to tag and trade Desean though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Desean signed with a team like the Giants if we let him hit the open market.

this would be a nightmare
could you imagine desean playing us with a chip on his shoulder twice a year? i think they have to tag him just to ensure he doesn’t go to a division rival.

Could you imagine Cromartie's speed vs Jacksons speed?
I do think Cromartie is faster.

So even if Desean tagged us once or twice a game Cromartie's speed would
help limit the damage.

The Giant don’t have the money or the need at WR to sign him.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook.
They can let Manningham walk and replace him with Desean. Victor Cruz was great in the slot during the playoffs. They would probably rotate the receivers around depending on the play. Also I think they would over value Desean just because of the ways desean burned them in the past. Sorta like the Eagles with steve smith. If they don’t have the money than it doesn’t matter but if they really want someone, im sure they can find some way to free up money.
"Fuckin right G."
It would be awesome, but no way jose
The Giants have plenty of decisions to make about their own guys, there’s no way we bring in a guy like Jackson who wants big bucks.
Go Giants!
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
I'd take either one. but my preference is Colston due to durability.

Desean likely gets similar $$ to VJax and Colston
if they sign long term deals….of those three Desean is my third coice, and that doesnt even incorporate the draft and mid-level FA WRs.
NOW HIRING- NFL HEAD COACH
How are the Saints having trouble with this? If DeSean Jackson deserves money, this man sure as hell does. Lol.
because they have to sign their starting QB, #1 receiver, and best OG in the same offseason. gotta prioritize, and breesy is starting to look more expensive than originally thought.

IMO, Drew Brees is no. 1 priority. Wtf did you think he was going to cost?

agreed
Someone told me he came out and said he wants like 7 million a year. That is nothing for a guy of his caliber. The only problem with signing him is he play the slot really well and is okay on the outside, so you’d have to be comfortable moving Avant to the outside (I am). He does his damage across the middle and is a TE’s best friend because D-Cos have to decide which to put the nickel on and who to put a linebacker on.

but for us it gives us essentially a two Tight end look with a WR
Colston is a hybrid TE-WR. He played TE at Hofstra.

He was listed as TE/WR
the first year he showed up on my fantasy football radar… took me to the championship, best TE that year.
A lot of things make sense now.
No, he’s not a TE. He played WR at Hofstra, but scouts thought he was too slow to play WR in the NFL, so they projected him as a TE.
Formerly DeSean10
36-5-20-JJ -- Forever Bleeding Green
Team Kuechly, J. Jenkins, Iloka
he played both at Hofstra.
but you are correct he was projected as a TE

i'd consider it but i wouldnt trade up for him
I think we should handle LB and DL depth first, maybe WR depending on what happens with Desean.

I would be upset
28 means we have 2 more years of him before significant decline and we will be paying a premium for it. A big no thanks.
That’s for runningbacks. Wide receivers don’t physically decline until about 33. Even then, it’s not usually a sharp drop unless a major injury occurs. See Jerry Rice, Derrick Mason, T.O, Donald Driver, Steve Smith, Reggie Wayne etc.
agreed.
plenty last in their thirties, Brandon Lloyd has played well, Reggie Wayne, Santana Moss, Steve Smith…

As someone who has followed Colston closely the last two years
He is the most consistent WR in this league. He shows up for every game, you won’t see him disappear for games at a time ::ahem:: DeSean ::ahem::
Even when he broke his collarbone last season he was back within a few weeks producing at a high level.
In my opinion, we should snag him and play him all over the field. Trade Desean. Draft TY Hilton for punt/kick returns and top end speed, and pick up Plaxico for the red zone.
Boom SUPER BOWL!!

Interesting...
While I still like Malcom Floyd @15, I am intrigued with Stephen Hill in early 2nd. Maybe we grab Kuechly @15, grab Hill in 2nd if we can’t get Coulston. And I like Randy Moss over Plaxico Burress. Why? We already have a one trick pony in Desean Jackson. Moss can still get redzone, intermediate, AND vertical routes. He won’t quit on Vick or Reid like it was reported. Draft Joe Adams from Arkansas for punts/kick returns and draft 4th through 6th for depth at DL, OL, LB, S, and then we are set for a “run” at the Lombardi.

Andy is drooling like its Cheesteak Tuesday over the thought of Colston at $7M. The Eagles want to pay DJax $7M a year. Signing Colston at that level almost forces DJax to consider the same salary. Do the Eagles have the cap space?
Vick and McCoy in the backfield, DJax and Maclin out wide with Colston in the slot and Celek on the field? SICK! (I may be venturing into EMB tater territory…)

I wonder if the $7M thing is a hometown discount for NO. If Colston gets signed at $7M, that has to drive DJax’s asking price down. All DJax has on his side is youth.

6 years deal
I’d happily give Colston a 6 years / $45m deal = $7.5m a season and maybe guarantee $21m of it.
My biggest concern with Colston is how much were his numbers shaped by playing in NO with Brees? Could he be that good here?

Valid Point
Brees is a very Brady-esque type of quarterback. Their route trees and offense are based on timing and quick strikes with lots of YAC.
Our offense is based on deep passes, screen dumps, and play action passes EVERY 2nd down and short (I’m on to you Marty).
It would be very interesting to see how Colston’s production levels change in a different scheme.
My gut feeling? You can’t stop a 6’4" monster with great hands from making plays.

Keep in mind how many guys in new Orleans see the ball. If anything playing in that offense has kept his yards and recs down with graham and sproles getting a ton of balls

if he's half that good he's better than DeSean
He has 48 TDs to DeSean’s 21
He has 6240 yds from 449 recs, having started 64 of 86 games he has been involved in
Thats 75recs, 1040yds and 8TDs a season (6seasons)
DeSean has 4085 yds from 229yds having started 59 of 60 total games

The question isn’t about the numbers that he had, but the numbers he will have.

Of course, but the argument that Brees is the only reason he had good numbers doesn't stand up if you compare Colston to his teammates.
He has clearly been a rock in that offense. So Drew Brees is throwing him the ball…watch Colston play and you can see has the hands and size to make just about any catch. Obviously he isn’t a speed option, but he uses his body extremely well and knows how to get open, even against good coverage.
Clear eyes, full bologna sandwiches!
I’m not saying that he’s a bad player, but his numbers may be inflated, because Brees has been throwing to him.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a clock.
I am the proud target of temper tantrums.
OK. That's perfectly reasonable.
Personally I don’t really worry about the numbers as much as what kind of receiver he is though. If DJax doesn’t work out, I like what Colston brings to the table and would gladly welcome him to Philly. And I also think there is merit to the argument that Colston’s game could be valuable as long or even longer than Desean’s since what he does isn’t based on speed.
Clear eyes, full bologna sandwiches!
Ummm
I am not sure why people do this but every time numbers are posted like this it shows how GOOD Jackson really is. He is getting almost 20 catches less a season and his numbers are not that far behind Colston’s the same with Stevie’s.
If the roles were flipped, and DeSean was catching passes from Drew Brees, I suspect Colston wouldn’t even be in his league.

They do actually.
Maybe not a lot more, but it seems like Colston, Sproles, Moore, Meachem, Henderson, Graham, P. Thomas, D. Thomas, Ivory, Ingram all manage to catch at least one pass every game. I know that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. The Saints really do spread the ball around a lot.

In game we’re really talking 4-5 recievers for us – Desean, Maclin, Avant, Celek, and McCoy. And McCoy hasn’t actually been used as much as we used to pass to RBs. Take a look at the numbers – we have 5 receivers with over 30 catches, 4 with over 50 catches and 0 with over 80 catches. Saints have 7 with over 30 catches, 5 with over 50 catches, and 3 with over 80 catches. They threw the ball a lot more than us too.
And the Saints don’t pass a lot?

Garcon
I just read this on him
Garcon reportedly rejected a recent contract Colts offer worth about $35 million over five seasons.
Oh. That sorta changes my view.
This is slightly on-topic, no?
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring it Home for Jerome.
So to summarize this thread, for $7m
You can get Colston but not Garcon.
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring it Home for Jerome.
something is wrong here…wtf? Garcon is out of his damn mind. Maybe he just wants out of Indy, which doesn’t make sense considering he’d most likely be the #1 receiver for Luck when he comes out. I just don’t see the logic in playing hardball with a good contract when there are several FA’s better than you and possibly a few rookies the have a higher ceiling. i see this backfiring on him terribly.

Garcon’s contract was probably only 2-4 guaranteed.

w_e we've been over this
a contract isn’t fully guaranteed. He wants a BASE salary at 7 million. That’s just what he makes if he is there during the season. He would probably get 3-4 million guaranteed. You have base salary, then part of that is the guaranteed money. So if I want a base salary of 5 million, the Eagles say ok we’ll give you a 3 yr 15 million dollar deal with 7 million garunteed. So my garaunteed money is 7 million in 3 years, the whole contract if I make it through all three years and dont trigger performance stuff, is worth 15 million.

Yet Garcon would be a great fit in the Philadelphia offense
But if he rejected 5/35 then I’m letting that ship sail.

He probably rejected it because he doesn’t like the direction the franchise is heading. . I don’t blame him.
Yeah I guess the timing is suspect too
When you’ve waited this long and you’re about to hit FA, you might as well consider all your options.
But that’s way more than I thought he would command. And there might be some people who find Luck an appealing guy to play with.
That does make sense though. Pierre has almost always played for winners.

Yes, but their stats are comparable.
Garcon: 70 catches, 947 yards, 13.5 average, 6 TD’s.
Jackson: 58 catches, 961 yards, 16.6 average, 4 TD’s.
Not to mention that Garcon’s more consistent and would still compliment Maclin pretty well.

Garcon is very inconsistent
He blows up a couple of games a year, and single-handedly wins his team games but other times he’s nowhere to be found
Hmmm... Who does that sound like exactly??? *cough* Desean *cough*

Ehhh i’m not seeing what you’re seeing. Also, keep in mind Peyton Manning was his QB up until last year, the same guy who made Blair White look like a half decent NFL Wideout.
Ya I disagree, Avant is actually more similar to Garcon
Garcon is a number 2-3 on most teams, he excelled with Peyton and was the number two option on the Colts after Dallas Clark went down. He did well because Reggie Wayne was doubled. Jason Avant as a starter would get as many targets.
Avant: Rec: 52 Yards: 679 YPC: 13.1 TDs:1
Garcon: 70 catches, 947 yards, 13.5 average, 6 TD’s.
With more targets, they’d have similar numbers.
Avant is 6’0 and 212, Garcon is 6’0 and 210.
Garcon name a 4.42 40 (http://bit.ly/nIJbSi)
Avant is slows at 4.52 (http://bit.ly/zW3rT4)
Avant likely has better hands and goes across the middle.
Garcon is better on the outside.
My point is Garcon isn’t worth the contract he was offered and is nothing more than a number two WR at best. I’d prefer Bowe, Wayne, Colston, and Wallace (even giving up the 1st) over Garcon.
And I actually like the guy.
Trevor Laws: "Thank Giants for kicking to (Desean)."

Garcon had his best year without Peyton.

fair enough
still afraid of his consistency. I don’t wanna get rid of Desean for a less talented, yet equally inconsistent target
Speed doesn't equal talent.
At this point I’d take somebody who has half the talent of Desean but actually tries over Desean how he played last year.

Never said anything about speed?
I was just comparing them consistency wise. Only time will tell with how much effort Desean will put in this year, hopefully if he gets paid he’ll return to his old form. Either that or we trade him.
There is a 12
catch difference; DJAX has never caught more then 62 passes in his 4 years. 12 catches at 16.6 yards a catch would give JAX close to another 200 yards (199.2) and that was a down season for JAX compared to Garcons BEST year umm…. no thanks.
Their stats were comparable last year, when Garcon had a career year and Desean was afraid to step on the field. We have receivers who can run intermediate and across the middle routes. We need a big red zone target. If we lose Desean we’ll need a deep threat. Garcon doesn’t fill either of those needs. So the fact that their stats were similar last year doesn’t actually matter that much.

Our offense would be so different, we would go from having 1-2 redzone threats to 4 at least. I do love the fact that jackson pulls DB’s 20 yards back at times but if we had 2 people who were 6’4+ they could just muscle the ball off of DB’s which jackson could never do.

My ideal scenario
Sign colston for 7 or 8m, franchise desean, trade desean and 1st and maybe 3rd to move to chiefs, draft kuechly, trade some combination of both seconds and asante to get into the late 1st round and draft perry or still, but one can hope

Fly like and Eagle, into the futureee... Fly like an Eagle, to the sea.... Fly like and Eagle let MV carry me, I want to flyyy...
i like this theory. it’s a little bit of a stretch with all the trading but I can def see us moving up to get kuechly because he’s not going to fall to 15. I was all for signing a vet but after Luke’s combine I’m sold he’s everything we need at LB and more. I like still or perry too(ironically my name is nick perry as well), but I wouldn’t mind us taking Zach Brown if we traded back into the first. 2/3 LB’s for the future which we havn’t had since i can remeber…

Ummmm....
How are his knees? He has microfracture surgerlies on both knees AND 3 knee surgeries in 24 months. Love the guy; he is a beast. At 28, I just think he’s played his best years with NO and not too many left for us. Now if we can structure a contract backloaded and incentive based on recs, yds, and touchdowns for $7 mil a yr, I am in. He is 6’4", 225…well so is Michael Floyd, Stephen Hill, Alshon Jeffrey, Nick Toon, and Reuben Randle which all come cheaper (new CBA) and NO major surgeries. We tried short term, “Dream Team” way…now we have to look at 2012 Giants (lol) who added no one, but still won the Superbowl. We need to draft Kuechly before Seattle @12 (His combine numbers hurts us) AND use our 2 2nds to land Stephen Hill before the Texans @26 (His combine numbers really hurt us). Moss could change things. But with Kuechly and Hill, we gain two (hopefully) game changers on both sides of the ball. Burfict will look good in Eagle green.

Experienced v rookie
Which is of course the issue with going with the WR in the 2012 class plus whoever we take means we cannot draft at another position like ILB
The Giants are happy to sign free agents as and when it helps them.
as for Colston’s injury record, he only missed time in one season 2008 when he only started 6 of 11 games.
Every other season, he’s played the full season.
And this season has been his been one of his most successful
2006 G14 GS12 Rec 70 Yds 1038 TD 8
2007 G16 GS14 Rec 98 Yds 1202 TD 11
2008 G11 GS6 Rec 47 Yds 760 TD 5
2009 G16 GS16 Rec 70 Yds 1074 TD 9
2010 G16 GS14 Rec 84 Yds 1023 TD 7
2011 G14 GS7 Rec 80 Yds 1143 TD 8

The Eagles will draft Burfict. Why? 1st-2nd talent for 4th $$$; other than Westbrook, we suck past 3rd round drafting. Even if he doesn’t make our 53 man roster, we have a practice squad. And funny, NFL.com listed his 40 time @ 4.98; not a dramatic improvement over 5.09 yet I believe he will get in shape and become productive. And lastly let’s face it, the Eagles are a parsimonius organization (to put in kindly) so they love to steal talent for nothing. Mark my words

first of all burfict is garbage. secondly why do you say we only draft poorly late in the draft? look at our starters. LBs are all late round picks. Kurt coleman is a 7th rounder. Trent cole is a 5th rounder, jason avant is a 4th rounder….not all of these guys are our best players, but theyre not supposed to be.
now lets look at all the early round whiffs. jerome mcdougle, shawn andrews, matt mccoy, freddie mitchell. and after 2012 we may throw BG and nate allen in there too.

Losing Desean would be a big loss to this team, more than people realize, but I think he has hit his ceiling on this team, he’s probably gonna work harder and be more professional when he goes to his next team just to throw it in the face of the Eagles and us fans.
I'm all-in for the 2012 season !
Dwight Howard is coming to Philly. Maybe. Probably not. But we can at least hope, that's all we have.
He would be a loss, however if we can replace him with somebody
more consistent and can help our team enough to replace Deseans production.
People talk about how Jackson pushes the safety’s back however that’s the same effect that Vick has especially when he get a few good scrambles in…
Also don’t forget that Maclin’s a speedster himself.

do any of you think we could trade our first round pick for mike wallace and then franchise/trade deasean for a 2nd rounder? finally with three 2nd round picks we could easily move back into the first round
it might not happen but i would love it if it did
Is Mike Wallace truly available?
I thought he wants back in, and the Steelers want him back.

i disagree, as much as I appreciate Drew Brees
Colston has been leaps and bounds better than his fellow Saints WR. Not that slow, he runs a 4.55, which is average (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2006/draft/players/27260.html)
Larry Fitzgerald runs a 4.53 (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2004/draft/players/46239.html)
We always talk about Redzone and Colston can help us there, let Avant and Maclin catch the ball down the field and spread it and Colston can vulture the TDs.

"Stats are for fantasy and losers. Winning is an attitude."
That's not really true at all.
He has great hands and decent enough, though not top-line, speed. He makes just about any catch you could want and is not an easy guy to bring down in the open field. The Brees argument holds some water, but Colston still stands out as the best among all the Saints receievers, TES and RBs and they all get plenty throws. The Saints spread the ball around like nobody’s business and if Colston’s numbers are only thanks to Brees, shouldn’t every other receiver look just as good?

Cooper unfortunately has below average ball skills which virtually nullify his natural height advantage

This would be scary...
For Colston to hit FA.. FA would need to have already started… for us to be interested in him, we would need to not tag DeSean and allow him to hit FA. All this means that we’d hit day 1 of FA period without DJax or Colston as a sure thing… and we’d have the possibility of not getting either. Unless we still tag Jackson, go for Colston then we’d have to trade Jackson… and as definite sellers (cause how can we fit both under the cap) of a player with a 1 year contract, his value would go down.
A lot of things make sense now.
WR's ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THEIR QB....
I don’t care what WR’s we have, long as the QB minimizes ball insecurities. The same goes for the QB is only as good as the WR’s, by limiting the dropsies. Greatness can be obtain with only a minimum of 70% of good ball control between QB and WR’s. Heck, most QB completions are in and around 50%, give or take. The QB ratings depends on the WR’s and WR’s ratings depend on themselves. Really, it doesn’t matter who the WRs are, it does matters how well the offense coaches, work around their players to get the most potentials, out of each players talents. Execution of the Play, is their main source to the schematics, generating to each players positions.
Oh….btw, should Burfict done the green, he’s not going to be in defense, but on offense. Yeah, he’ll be pointing right at the linebacker, “I’m watching ya, oh yeah baby!” He’ll be doing the Burfict smoke, keeping them linebackers at bay. LOL LOL
