Seems like Desean Jackson is not going any where next year as the Eagles plan on retaining his services..with that said.. with THIS make him happy?
The Philadelphia Inquirer, citing league sources, reported Sunday that the Eagles won't let go of receiver DeSean Jackson, whose contract is about to expire, without getting something in return. That would mean the Eagles are all but guaranteed to place the franchise tag on their Pro Bowl receiver if a deal isn't reached by March 5, the deadline for teams to franchise players.
By franchising Jackson, the Eagles wouldn't let him hit the open market and maintain the option to trade the fifth-year receiver.
The Inquirer, citing sources close to Jackson, also reported that he would be willing to sign the Eagles' one-year tender worth approximately $9.5 million (or nearly $9 million more than he earned last year).
Last month, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said he would welcome the controversial Jackson back to the Eagles "if the right terms develop."
Last season wasn't just rocky for Jackson off the field with his contract dispute, but also on it, where his production slipped. Jackson had just 58 catches for 961 and four touchdowns. His 16.6 yards-per-catch average was nearly six yards lower than his 2010 average of 22.5
Let's see what happens.. All I know is I'm not drafting em next year in Fantasy..
