Desean still holding out fine by me
Pay the man. Everyone mad at him for this is selfish
He is the one making big plays only 170 pounds with his body on the line play after play.
Playoff with out him maybe.
With Dj super bowl win simple.

Gotta love Eagles fans. Not really but you know what I’m saying.

Dude, I’m an Eagles fan and you’re insane.

Do you think the Lions would be sending ANYTHING back in that deal?

If the Eagles could get Calvin Johnson for Asante Samuel and DeSean Jackson straight up it would be an absolute mega-deal for them.

Cut cap room and get the second best WR in the league at the young age.

You’re playing way, way, way too much X-BOX.

Stay at home DeSean. The last thing the Birds need is DJax injured and its not like he needs to learn how to run fly patterns or a 50yd skinny post.

There is almost ZERO need for DJax in training camp.

That being said if his moron agent who i think should be thrown out of the league or the teams should just say from now on we will not deal with this fame loving a-hole should have had jackson in camp on time. He knows very well the eagles were going to start this negotiation during last or this week. Rosenhaus made a mistake. He thought the Eagles would pay whatever he wanted if it seemd like Jackson was going to hold out for awhile. Well guess what Drew, not gonna happen. The Eagles were set to get a deal done with Jackson. And i think the Holmes deal is pretty close to what we should do and i think even the Eagles realize that. This is all Drew telling Jackson he should be the highest paid with the biggest bonus and everyone knows that just isn’t true.

Oh and by the way instead of being Fox news and just taking two seconds of a statement why don’t you give context of what Vince Young said. I dunno like maybe the question he was asked.

Vince was asked what its like coming from Tenn. To a team like the Eagles who was already a condender and they are adding yourself and these other players. And then with a big smile Vince said “its like a dream team” then he laughed and said “… yeah its great man lots of player coming in……” He wasn’t making a comparison or anything like that. He was making a joke. But of course it makes a better story for ESPN and PFT to make it into “Vince young predicts UNiverse championship. Even though he didn’t and you know it.

The team was 2-11 during that game (oh…and lost the game, by the way) .

The Front Office thought it was a good idea to take a fan from the stands in an incredibly sad Santa Claus costume and parade him around during half time when the person hired as Santa didn’t show. The float he was supposed to be on got stuck in the mud on the field.

Let it go already.

…no…wait…I live in the real world

That’s funny, because I tried to change employers and my boss put a franchise tag on me!

DeSean lives in the “real world” too. The “real world” for NFL players includes holdouts and non-guaranteed contracts. If you don’t like it, blame the CBA.

The ability to hold out is integral to the play for pay system the NFL has. Just like teams can drop players that are overpaid or stop performing so can players rightfully hold out when they are drastically underpaid.

Jackson has made about $3 million in his three years in the league and he has VASTLY provided more value between the lines than that for the Eagles. That contract wasn’t negotiated either. That’s just a locked in deal based on him being a 2nd round pick. He didn’t even have any input into it’s length (they are all 4-year deals).

Jackson has every right to hold out. Just like the Eagles could just sit on their hands and do nothing. But Jackson should get a raise heading into the last year of his deal. That is “normal” and expected if you perform to the level Jackson has.

The Eagles at this point are just being cheap skates with him.

FYI – the Eagles would need to send DJ, Samuel and THEIR first round for Calvin Johnson. Take off the green rose glasses and get a clue.

The Philadelphia HEAT-LES are going nowhere this year. Vick is going to get his head knocked off and V. Young will crap in his pants and start crying.
————————————————————
And what do you think the Ravens are gonna do? Maybe Flacco will cry when he’s throwing interceptions to the Steelers. Or Ray Rice will cry when he gets effed up by James Harrison. Come on dude, don’t make fun of another team if you know your team’s gonna suck.

DeSean would be dumb to risk (likely 25M in guarantees) playing for dirt this year. Even if he makes it alive through the season, the Eagles are going to franchise him year to year.

He’s young enough to sit 2 years in order to set up him, his family, grandkids, great grandkids and great-great grandkids for life.

Lets see if he’s got the willpower to stand firm.
