The current rumors are that DeSean Jackson wants a long term deal with 9-11 mil/year. At that price range, we dont need him. If he was willing to take a 50% Andy Reid discount, then I would take him in a heartbeat.

Jackson isn't a #1 receiver either. Pray we get a stud rd one. Or trade up to 2nd to get one..
A is no longer an option, and I for one am glad. We need to sign players who will play. Not those who want huge payouts. Players who who play hunger for and are driven to that goal of success. To many think they are more than what they are. We have no need of anyone, who thinks they are more than they are.
Bottom line for me on Jackson
He had a career year last year after that a team is willing to cut him and take the cap hit. There's a reason for that. We don't know that reason. But that just doesn't happen very often for a player who is still in his 20s. Philly knows something we don't that's why I'm glad we are out of the running if that report is true
Looks like this argument is over. He signed with the Redskins.

Pitty, I was kind of hoping the Gang ties are true and having Oakland Sign him would only put him closer to that issue making the signing a train wreck for the Raiders.
The Skins can have him.Quote:
Numerous sources tell CBS Philly that DeSean Jackson was "blatantly insubordinate" and "not very well liked by his teammates" with the Eagles, leading to his release before signing with Washington.
CBS Philly reports Jackson threw "temper tantrums cussing out (Chip) Kelly several times in front of the team," and was "more concerned with his rap label" than winning football games. The dislike among teammates would seem to be confirmed by their dispassionate reactions to his departure. "I’ll put it this way, when it came out last Friday that [Jackson] was released," said one source, "more than a few guys were happy it happened. They said ‘good riddance.’"
