A league source tells ESPN Radio’s Brian Seltzer that Eagles WR DeSean Jackson has fired his current agent and plans to sign Drew Rosenhaus.“I was just told by a league source: DeSean Jackson has fired DeBartolo Sports as agent, and intends to sign with Drew Rosenhaus,” Seltzer tweets.
I’m sure Joe Banner is thrilled right now.¬† Jackson is scheduled to make $470,000 this year, but everyone – including him – knows he is worth far more.¬† But that said, I can’t see Banner ripping up his rookie deal any time soon in order to pay him accordingly.¬†
This is yet another reason I have a problem with the rookie wage scale.¬† The players should hate it as much as management.¬† JaMarcus Russell is a shining example of why you don’t give someone $30 million guaranteed when they have done nothing at the NFL level.¬† But the flip side of that is guys who are stuck with whatever they got in their rookie deal regardless of how good they are.¬† I’m sure Marques Colston loves the current system.
Donnie Avery, Devin Thomas, Jordy Nelson, James Hardy, Jerome Simpson (who?)….they were WR’s all picked higher than DeSean.¬† Would you want any of them over him?¬† Me neither.¬† Something needs to change with the rookie deals, and until it does we’ll get situations like the potential one brewing right here in Philly between DeSean and management.¬†
