Eagles | DeSean Jackson has a new attitude

Wed, 16 May 2012 07:10:46 -0700

Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson is eager for a fresh start in 2012 after skipping the first 11 days of training camp last season over a contract dispute. Jackson said he is more relaxed. "It was a tough year for myself, had a lot of struggles, had a lot of things that just took me off of my game and my focus," Jackson said. "This year, a lot of that has just been removed, and I'm able to focus and be comfortable and be confident that I'm at a place where I'm wanted. I just really want to be able to bring a championship to the city." Jackson has been working out with QB Michael Vick in advance of organized team activities.

Eagles | DeSean Jackson urges LeSean McCoy not to holdout

Sat, 12 May 2012 07:20:01 -0700

Although Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson held out of training camp last summer before playing out the final year of his contract, he urged RB LeSean McCoy to take a different approach as he enters the last year of his deal this offseason. "I think it would be in his best interest to come" to offseason practices and camp, Jackson said. "Looking back now it really hurt me more than I thought it helped me. Hopefully he saw everything I went through, and hopefully (agent) Drew (Rosenhaus) won't have him go through the same thing."

Eagles | DeSean Jackson contract update

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 07:17:20 -0700

The Philadelphia Eagles could get out of their contract with WR DeSean Jackson after two years. According to a league source, Jackson gets a $10 million signing bonus and a $750,000 base salary in 2012. He gets a $6.75 million base salary in 2013, and $4 million of that is fully guaranteed while the rest is guaranteed only against injury. Of Jackson's $10.25 million 2014 salary, only $250,000 is fully guaranteed and $250,000 is guaranteed against injury. He is eligible for a $250,000 workout bonus in each year of the deal, and his base salaries for the final two years are not guaranteed. As a result, the Eagles can easily escape after the 2013 season if they want to. And if they don't, they can keep Jackson for salaries that likely will be well below market value in the final three years.

Eagles | Willing to trade DeSean Jackson?

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:37:57 -0800

The Philadelphia Eagles, according to several NFL sources, have a debate going on within their hierarchy about WR DeSean Jackson, who was just franchised by the team, and whether or not the Eagles can trust him with a long-term contract. According to one league source, the Eagles are open to the idea of trading Jackson. While there are doubts, the Eagles hope Jackson can clean up his act to become a productive, steady member of the organization.

Eagles | DeSean Jackson situation still needs to play out

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:21:22 -0800

It will be interesting to see how the Philadelphia Eagles move forward with WR DeSean Jackson, who was franchised as an unrestricted free agent. In the past, the Eagles have used the franchise tag as a blunt instrument in dealing with some players who sought more money than the team was willing to pay. In situations with LB Jeremiah Trotter and DT Corey Simon, the team franchised them only to eventually rescind the tag and release the players into the free-agent pool after most of the big money around the league had been spent. That's not to say they will attempt the same with Jackson, and head coach Andy Reid has given every indication publicly that the two still have a good relationship. General manager Howie Roseman has also talked recently about the "bright future" Jackson has with the Eagles. What the Eagles do next will tell the story, as they could try to force Jackson to play out the one-year tag under their terms rather than commit to him long term like he is looking for.

Eagles | Could wait before using franchise tag

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 05:30:13 -0800

The Philadelphia Eagles are unlikely to use the franchise tag right away, according to general manager Howie Roseman. Roseman said he will use the NFL Scouting Combine this week as a way of facilitating contract talks with impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson.

Eagles | DeSean Jackson trade best for everyone?

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 08:15:12 -0800

The best thing for the Philadelphia Eagles and impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson would be to trade him after he receives the franchise tag. The Eagles may not want to pay No. 1 receiver money for a player who just finished 47th in the league in catches and 23rd in receiving yards and really didn't help on punt returns the way he used to either. The Eagles would likely receive a lot in return for Jackson. Meanwhile, the best remaining way for Jackson to get the best possible contract is to get it from another team, as the Eagles are not likely to pay what Jackson is looking for.

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:01:47 -0800

Updating a previous report, the Philadelphia Eagles will place the franchise tag on impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson, as they will not let him walk without getting something in return, according to NFL sources. They will either franchise Jackson and keep him for the 2012 season, franchise him and then trade him, or they will agree to a contract extension, although that is the most unlikely scenario at this point.

Browns | Expected to pursue WR in free agency

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:19:44 -0800

The Cleveland Browns are expected to pursue a big-play wide receiver in free agency, especially since the class will be particularly deep. There might be dozens of receivers on the open market March 13 such as San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson and Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson, whom current general manager Tom Heckert drafted in 2008 when he was with the Eagles. Super Bowl hero WR Mario Manningham of the New York Giants is a native of Warren, Ohio, and he might be a potential target if he isn't re-signed.

Eagles | DeSean Jackson likely to receive franchise tag

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:16:34 -0800

The Philadelphia Eagles could place the franchise tag on impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson and then begin to explore trade options. The team could also place the tag and let Jackson play with them in 2012 before signing a long-term deal. However, there is no way the Eagles will simply let Jackson walk as a free agent.

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 06:22:09 -0800

Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson apologized following Week 17 for letting his contract situation become a distraction this season and said he'd be OK if the team used its franchise tag on him if the sides can't agree to a contract extension this offseason. "I can admit to certain things affecting me during the season. I just want to apologize," Jackson said. "I probably could have handled it a little bit different, but now sitting here after the season's over I can just say I was able to put it behind me and really just fight for my teammates, fight for my organization."

"If that's what they saw, that's what they saw," Jackson said. "I don't have to sit here and answer them questions. My teammates know what it is." Jackson was also asked why he was spotted warming up with defensive linemen and not his wide receiver group before the game. "I'm not answering none of that type of question," Jackson said. "If you're going to ask something about the game, do that. You're asking questions that don't even mean nothing. Next question."
