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.
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."
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.
Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:19:33 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick said the team has high expectations for WR DeSean Jackson in 2012 now that he is happy with his new five-year, $48.5 million deal. "We expect him to work harder than before and give the organization everything he can," Vick said.
Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:48:23 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson said the team will capture a Super Bowl title during the span of his five-year contract. "I'm just happy to still be here," Jackson said. "... I'm going to guarantee a Super Bowl. We've been so close since I've been here the past four years ... The sky's the limit."
Thu, 15 Mar 2012 05:38:51 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson is earning $1.5 million more than the franchise tag in 2012, and only $4 million guaranteed after this year.
Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:10:34 -0700 The Philadelphia Eagles have signed franchise free-agent WR DeSean Jackson to a five-year deal worth $51 million.
Wed, 07 Mar 2012 14:12:18 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid said he has spoken with franchise free-agent WR DeSean Jackson and expects him to sign the franchise tender offer.
Sat, 03 Mar 2012 07:14:39 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles franchise free-agent WR DeSean Jackson said he was honored to be placed with the franchise tag. "I am honored that the Eagles organization perceives me as a franchise player," Jackson said in a statement. "I look forward to getting a long-term deal done soon and being an Eagle for many years to come."
Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:53:37 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles franchise free-agent WR DeSean Jackson indicated that he will sign his franchise tender as soon as possible and hopes to continue negotiations with the team about a long-term deal.
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.
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.
Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:04:46 -0800 The Philadelphia Eagles are interested in signing impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson to a long-term deal and are not looking to trade him.
Thu, 01 Mar 2012 13:22:49 -0800 The Philadelphia Eagles have placed the franchise tag on impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson.
Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:38:23 -0800 The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to place the franchise tag on impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson but will be willing to listen to trade offers from teams for Jackson.
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.
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.
Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:33:10 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson caught just two passes for 14 yards and one touchdown inside the red zone last season.
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.
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.
Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:44:15 -0800 The San Diego Chargers are not expected to show interest in Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson this offseason because his personality may not go over well with general manager A.J. Smith.
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.
Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:17:33 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid said he was proud of the way impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson handled himself in the team's last six games of the season. However, Reid was non-committal on whether he thought Jackson would be with the club in the long term.
Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:07:58 -0800 The Philadelphia Eagles do not agree at this point with what impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson believes his next contract should look like. The team likely will not consider placing the franchise tag on Jackson because he would count $9.5 million against the salary cap next season.
Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:55:34 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles chairman Jeffrey Lurie said Tuesday, Jan. 3, that he would welcome WR DeSean Jackson back to the team next season "if the right terms develop." Everything will depend on if Philadelphia is willing to discuss a long-term extension with Jackson or if they want to settle for a one-year franchise tag.
Mon, 02 Jan 2012 22:00:22 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles DL Victor Abiamiri, RB Ronnie Brown, DL Antonio Dixon, OT King Dunlap, WR DeSean Jackson, DL Derek Landri, DL Trevor Laws, OG Evan Mathis, FB Owen Schmitt, WR Steve E. Smith and QB Vince Young are all veteran with contracts set to expire, so the team will have decisions to make about their futures.
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."
Sun, 01 Jan 2012 16:01:06 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson caught four passes for 86 yards and one touchdown against the Washington Redskins in Week 17.
Sat, 24 Dec 2011 21:19:34 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson had five receptions for 90 yards in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys, and he also carried twice for 27 yards. Jackson's 90 receiving yards were his most since Week 4 when he posted a season-best 171 yards against the San Francisco 49ers.
Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:52:46 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson (elbow) suffered an elbow injury in the Week 15 game against the New York Jets.

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 07:54:10 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said he has been pleased with WR DeSean Jackson's work ethic and preparation this season. "For the last several weeks, he was just terrific. He was working hard and great preparation," Mornhinweg said. "He has never really faded from the hard work and preparation. He's been through a long year as well. He's got a few things going on ... he's growing as a professional, he's certainly all in here."
Fri, 02 Dec 2011 10:42:31 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid defended WR DeSean Jackson after the team's Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. "You can take a camera and make it look any way you want to make it look." Reid said. "I am telling you, that kid was all in last night and wanted to win that game as much as anybody."
Fri, 02 Dec 2011 06:28:07 -0800 A Philadelphia Eagles player said following Week 13 that WR DeSean Jackson's head was not in the game. When asked if Jackson was completely in the game, the teammate replied, "No, he's (messing) around."
Fri, 02 Dec 2011 06:23:38 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson was upset with reporters following Week 13 when asked about an incident between QB Vince Young and him. Cameras caught Jackson appearing noncommunicative on the sideline with Young after a mix-up in which Young was looking Jackson's way on a deep route and the receiver didn't look back. "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."
Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:38:20 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid said WR DeSean Jackson will start against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13 Thursday, Dec. 1. Jackson was benched in the fourth quarter in Week 12.
Mon, 28 Nov 2011 05:59:21 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson has been shying away from contact more and more. On the first touchdown that Jackson dropped in Week 12, he visibly flinched when he sensed New England Patriots LB Tracy White bearing down on him. It is a continuing issue. When asked if he thinks about his health on the field, Jackson said, "Always. You've got to keep your head on a swivel."
Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:51:17 -0800 Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson (foot) was on the bench while his offense was on the field late in the Week 12 game against the New England Patriots.

Jackson finished with 73 yards on four receptions.

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 05:26:16 -0800 After being left inactive in Week 10 for missing a team meeting, Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson rededicated himself to the team during the week.
