Could there be a possibility a deal could be in the works? Discuss Anything is possible but this is highly unlikely. Thats not to say Tanny is not checking out other possibilities but you have to figure after all the money the Eagles spent they would not let their explosive WR go. They are all in..... they will get him taken care of in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont have to pay Desean if he continues to hold out he will lose another year plus 30 k per day . he has to come back and hope they fix him up next year if he does not then hes going to screw both the team and himself .

So theres no chance he holds out and Philly decides the distraction isnt what they want going on and trade him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 The Jets don't care this much about the WR position. They have Holmes under contract, a promising rookie in Kerley, and will fill the other positions with cast-offs and mercenaries as they see fit. Jets may make a trade or two, but I wouldn't be expecting any blockbusters like this. They'll carry some money as a rainy day fund (in case of emergency, sign TO or Moss), and if it doesn't get spent adding players they'll spend it on existing players to free up additional money under next year's cap.

Jackson is a 24 year old budding superstar with no stupid drunken incidents that I'm aware of. He's not going anywhere. It's nice to dream and all, but he'll be in the Eagles' camp next week.

Scott Dierking Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Jackson may be the most fragile player in the NFL. He is a twig ready to snap. That is why the Eagles are hesitatnt to give him a long term deal. Jackson is an injury waiting to happen. And his brains are already scrambled-Can't go across the middle.

Midget Love 20 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Jackson will report at the latest August 9th (or around then) because if not then this season will not count to a year played and toward free agency. The Eagles know that so he has little leverage to hold out but should absolutely work out a contract before the end of the season unless they're planning on franchising him.

KINGDIRK Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 NBC Philadelphia's Howard Eskin reports DeSean Jackson will "absolutely, positively" report to Eagles' training camp on Monday. Jackson has to report by Tuesday if he doesn't want to risk losing an "accrued year" toward free agency, while the Eagles have said they would not negotiate a new deal until he reported. In other words, there's little incentive for him to continue his holdout beyond this weekend.

I haven't seen much about this but also think about the Tom Moore reference here. The Colts have had a top receiver, a top tight end and a HOF QB. But my point is they never broke the bank to pay 4 WRs. The Jets apparently are subscribing to the same philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes perfect sense. It puts alot into perspective when thinking about this decision. Tom Moore consulting at work. I still think Tanne is looking for another player for the defensive side of the ball though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Tanne is looking for another player for the defensive side of the ball though. It really makes no sense, as they have Peyton Manning throwing the football. All that said, I do not value the receiver position, especially no's 3 and 4 very highly. You can get by with young talent in those positions.
