The DeSean Jackson trade rumors continued to swirl on Tuesday evening, when reports surfaced that the Eagles are listening to offers for the former second-round pick.
According to Derrick Gunn, the team has received inquiries from the Patriots and 49ers, with the Eagles reportedly seeking at least a third-round pick and possibly more.
The Eagles also apparently tried to trade Jackson last off-season, and the time were willing to accept a middle-round selection, but were unable to find any takers.
The team is also not actively shopping Jackson, but they’re willing to listen to any offers that other teams might have.
My Take
Even if the Eagles want to move Jackson, I can’t believe that they could let him go for just a third-round pick. Jackson is coming off of a career-year, with a personal best in yardage with 1,332 to go with eight touchdowns.
The Eagles may (or may not) want to rid themselves of Jackson’s personality, but his on-field accomplishments far outweigh whatever headaches he may cause the coaching staff from time to time. If you’re going to subtract a guy who can stretch the field and open things up for a lot of other players on the offense, you better come away with a lot more than a third-round pick.
Teams value their top draft picks like gold, and its very rare that you see a veteran dealt for high draft picks. If Jackson isn’t one of those players that can draw at least a first-rounder from another team, then the Eagles can’t seriously entertain other offers. I have to believe the Eagles would be a lot better off attempting to work out their differences with Jackson rather than dump him for a third-round caliber player who will not come close to matching his impact.
I do believe that the Eagles are certainly willing to move DeSean, and with every new report I’m becoming more and more convinced that their plan is to deal Jackson and use their first-round pick to take another receiver. This is supposed to be one of the deepest receiver classes in years, and I’m sure there are at least a few guys that Chip Kelly believes could add a lot of punch to the offense.
If howie doesn’t get a 1st he needs to be shot.
We can agree on this gloomy. If they did it…they better get a first. I won’t advocate slaughtering Roseman..but he should be relieved of duty and forced to be Jeffrie’s butler!
He is Lurie’s Butler, & bean counter.
He’s not getting a 1st Round Pick in Return with this Deep & Talented WR Draft Class, No Way, No How…
The Best they will get is a 2nd & a 4th Round Pick, which I still take
paulman…..that is why you are NOT a GM in the NFL. The Vikings got a 1st, 3rd, and 5th for Percy Harvin who is a step below DJax. So the Eagles need to get that package or a player and a 1st and 3rd. They are under no pressure to trade him so they can wait for a kings ransom.
They are not going to get that in Return Iggles..
1 Trade by another Team it Terms of Compensation does not have any bearing on a Current Trade or Future Trade..
The market for Players and Positions changes year to year based on many Facotrs, like compararable Free-Agnents, the Draft Class, Teams that are in actualy need, Coach’s Philsophies, etc,etc …
Remember the Cowboys giving up 2 1st Round Picks and a 2nd Round Pick for WR Roy Wiulliams a few years back, then 2 Years ago, the Bears gave up 2 #5 Round Picks for the troubled Brandon Marshall
even last Year, the Ravens who had no Cap Space to resign A Boldin and everyone around the NFL knew it, traded him to the 49ers for 5th Round Pick..
Bottom line, there is no standard, it really depends on what Teams are willing to giev up and how bad the Eagles want to move him, and it sounds like they want him gone pretty bad…
I will take a 2nd Round with a 4th Round or a future 3rd round and the Deal is done.. No Team is going to have to give up a 1st Round Pick due to the fact that this Years WR Market is Soft Overall and the Fact that the Draft Class is so Deep at the WR Position…
It is what it is, I am just glad to see a 3 year wish of mine come true
and to send his selfish ass back out to California where it belongs
His Numbers & Production will easily be absorbed by Maclin, Sproles , Ertz and whoever they add as a Draft Pick at WR, so there is little loss as far as I am concerned…
Go Eagles, Rid the Cancer one Player at a Time … Build this Team in Coach Kelly’s likeness and make Philly Proud…
If Eagles want him gone, then he’s gone…
Here here
If he’d have been offered a first, he would have already done the deal.
Now I don’t agree with trading DJax, but if you offered me a 1. I would have traded him 20 minutes ago. LOL
You losing your mind if you think they can get a first for him just aint worth it he carries too much baggage,
What baggage would that be Don? Percy Harvin’s has a ton of baggage and Seattle gave up how much for him?
That was my question to. He had a sideline spat with a coach. That crap happens every week around the league and they figure it out.
He wants more guaranteed money? So do a lot of players after a career year and especially so those that are as tiny as he is. I don’t love that he is asking for this, but I understand it.
the contract that DJax currently has at 10 million a year is worth a 3rd rounder. If DJax had Maclin’s or Cooper’s 5 million a year deal he would be worth a 1st rounder plus.
If that is the case then I don’t trade him. A 3rd round pick for the best WR on your team who had a career year? No thanks.
Exactly Bugs.
I agree that as an Eagles fan I want nothing less than a 1st round pick, but after all of these rumors and crap, I can’t see it happening. Too much is made on why the birds would want to rid themselves of DJax, enough to scare off most teams, or at least lessen their possible offers.
With Avant gone, the Birds will need to find another “peacemaker” with the WR corp. Jackson will be even worse after all of these rumors have been put out there. He feels unwanted, and most likely we will see the sulking DJax we had before he got his latest contract.
If Kelly is able to get him to play and not be a distraction in the locker room or on the practice field, he will be a miracle worker and will deserve NFL Coach of the Year!!
Maybe or maybe you will get another 1300+ plus season out of him. I will take my chances. There is supposed chemistry in that locker room with strong leadership, so the loss of Jason Avant is going to ruin that?
Do you think that we may be projecting a little bit here?
Or do you think that they let these rumors persist and fan the flames, so that we all forget to talk about the fact that they have not significantly upgraded the weakest aspect of the team yet?
No doubt, the way that this team seems to be casually addressing the huge holes on this defense is a big concern. I have been generally disappointed with the “second tier” type of guys that they have signed for the defense during this stage of free agency. We all know that Chip has a big focus on the offensive side of the ball, but ignoring the failings of this defense will continue to haunt the team.
As far as Avant, no projecting here. He (Avant) stated as much when asked about his role as a buffer between DJax and the WR coach. Just as when TO wouldn’t speak with MM, it will cause issues if he is allowed to continually disrespect a coach and get away with it. I want him to stay, I believe that he is a special player that has the ability to demand the attention of a defense and thus open things up for others even when his production is down. That being said, if he is as big a problem as has been described, and chances are much has never gotten out, then Kelly will need to have it addressed early.
Brad Childres got the silent treatment from TO –
Thanks E0S. I knew it was an offensive coordinator, just guessed the wrong one.
********* Paulmans trade alert ********
Eagles trade desean and there 4th rd pick
To
Miami for a dion Jordan and Miami’s 2nd and 5th rd picks
D-Jax a Bad fit for the Dolphins whot already have WR Mike Wallace, that they comitted to … .Dolphins need a Big WR Target…
Scratch Dolphins off the List
Teams who could use a WR are the 49ers,Panthers, Jets,Vikings,Chiefs,Raiders & Chargers
My Guess is he ends up out West where he has wanted to Play since
Day 1…. D-Jax is a “Part-Time Eagle” who just happens to Play Football for the Philadelphia Eagles.. He’s not a Full-Time Resident or Committed to being a “True Eagle” .. Trade his Ass….
Here’s a rumor. Mike Vick signs with the Raiders and lobbies for Raiders to trade for Desean. Raiders offers a third.
I see Eagles losing in this scenario. Vick coming close to a decision time.
Who else wants to see a DJax interview as badly as me right now.
More Paulman Rumors
Eagles Trade D-Jax to the Carolina Panthers for their 2nd Rounder (#60th) and their 3rd Rd Pick in 2015
All this crap comes from these hack reporters and there so called sources. These guys are the sources. Gunns source is Mosher, Mosher’s source is Gonzolaze, bunch of hacks. They get a quote and then tell you perhaps or maybe or what if.. Like a bunch of dogs chasing there tails. The 49ers and Patriots wouldn’t even call the Eagles unless they had the cap space to fit Jackson in, and if they do they would have done the deal yesterday for a 3rd round pick. Two teams on the verge of winning a superbowl could pick up a weapon like D jack that could quite possibly put them over the top for a 3rd, done deal.
agreed clueless. dudes not going anywhere and anyone that reports he is, is clueless.
He has to be moved, I’ve been calling for it for 2-3 Years now…
Then again, if he is Traded, then I have no more Trade Rumors to Post
he may have to be moved in your eyes. but the eagles arent gonna move him and they would be retarded if they did
and for 2-3 years you’ve been wrong too Buddy……
and no he doesn’t have to be moved…
Sometimes, it take’s a little longer for people to figure some things out Cliff.. We can’t expect everyone to think like we do… Ha
Either way still stupid to instigate a trade for him…but I understand …look who the GM is……
A source tells NJ.com that free agent QB Michael Vick will visit the Jets this weekend.
This will be Vick’s first official visit of free agency. Reports out of New York have consistently maintained that he is the Jets’ top choice at quarterback, as they want him to provide both mentoring and competition for Geno Smith. Vick had arguably the best year of his career with the Eagles in 2010 under offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, who now holds the same position with the Jets. Even at age 34, Vick would be a heavy favorite to beat out Smith in an open camp battle.

Knowing Gov Christie like I do, and the fact is a huge Jets Fans,in more ways than one, I Predict, that he will have his Subordinates Block all Bridges/Tunnel’s/Heli-Pads to NYC from NJ to Prevent this meeting ever occuring… Remember, you heard it here first and not thru MSNBC…
Knowing Godgotvick, theone1, and the other Vickapologists like I do, they will be complaining about NY Jet wide receiver not being able to get to get open, offensive lineman not being able to block and offensive coordinators not calling the correct plays.
I like the Gov Christie & Bridgegate angle better here for this Story..
I feel like an Investigative Reporter this week with all the Rumors,Conjecture & Heresay and Plain BS…
There are several teams that had good records last year that are in need of a wr.
NE, Car, KC, SD, and even NO and Balt. The first 4 NEED a wr. but where are the offers?
This reminds me very much of the you know who situation. There were a lot of people on here completely over-valuing his abilities/value. Screaming about his importance. 3 months later and he can’t find a job.
Now all I’m hearing is how Desean “opens up” the O. How he’s indespensible. How he’s in his prime coming off a career year. How he’s a number 1.
Well, the rest of the GMs in the league don’t agree with you. They know what he is. A small fast guy who runs fly routes with his hand in the air and who displays terrible body language when the ball isn’t thrown his way. A guy who dives backwards into the enzone and pounds his “look at me” chest when he catches a bomb, but stands and watches a DB run away from him after making an interception.
He can’t over-power anyone. Can’t catch fades or jump balls. He’s always demanding more $$. Quit on the team. Quit on plays. Argued with his coach (a lot apparently).
He hasn’t returned a punt of any significance for 3 seasons.
Look I understand why people overvalue their own, but Jackson is not the player a lot of you think he is.
Down the stretch:
Catches: 4, 4, 3, 4, 10 (outlier), 4, 4, 3
Yrds: 80, 82, 36, 59, 195 (outlier) 29, 28, 53
Look at those last 3 games as the Birds were coming down the stretch and into the playoffs…..Look, the guy occasionally makes a spectacular play. Got it. But he’s inconsistent. For every 100+ yrd game last hear he had a sub 40 yrd game.
Doesn;t seem like there are a lot of teams out there willing to pony up for a guy I’m being told is sooooo important.
Here are the breakdown going backwards:
17 Cowboys- 3-28 yds- bad game
16 Bears – 4-29- this was the blowout game where he was hardly needed
15 Vikes 10-195, TD Outlier, so it doesn’t count right?
14 Lions 4-59 yds, TD – snowbowl game- Foles only had 179 yds passing
13 Cards 3-36 yds- bad game
11 Redskins 4-82yds
10 Pack 4-80yds, td
I understand your that point that you are making but don’t agree with it, because he also goes against the best CB which would default go to Maclin or Cooper.
So my question is do you think that they are a better team without him? I don’t.
I didn’t think the Bruins would be a better team without Seguin. They are.
Most didn’t think the Eagles would be a better team without Vick. They are.
As far as Eagles’ offensive production is concerned, I just don’t think losing Desean is as big a deal as other people do.
But I do think the culture of the team will change for the better if he’s gone. Then again you all know I don’t like the sideways hat wearing chest pumping ‘look at me’ players, because they always fold up and point fingers when the going gets tough.
Cutting those guys never hurts a team.
And here’s the bigger issue (for Kelly)
He has arrived and tries to impose his pholosophy. All effort. All the time. Bluck downfield right to the endzone. Hustle back. Hustle hustle hustle. Effort effort effort.
Players are buying in. Then comes the Dallas game, and while Foles is struggling, Desean quits. Call it anything you want, I watched it all on the coaches film. He quit. Gave up on routes. Bad scene.
Kelly, and every player on the team saw this in the film room.
Fine. I’m sure he tore him a new on behind the scenes. Things go well for a couple weeks.
Then the Minny game (again a game they’re losing) and Jackson again gives up. Quits on the interception. Everyone saw it. And everyone on the team saw it in the film room.
So what does Kelly do? There are only 2 ways it can go. Is Kelly really serious about trying to install this “everyone get with the program – effort effort effort for the team” philosophy.
Or does that only apply to the Avants of the world, and not the DeSeans?
I’ve stated this when Kelly was Hired last January .
The Eagles will not be truly 100% Kelly’s Team until the following 3 players were moved..
1) QB Vick
2) WR D-Jax
3) RB McCoy
I believe by Summer Time, we will start hearing the whining my McCoy and his Agents/Team of Managers about the less touches he will receive with the addition of Darren Sproles and the fact that the Eagles Extended Sproles thru the 2016 Season shows the Eagles are no longer committed to LeSean McCoy for the Long-Term.. I can see the Headlines now …
I say, out with the old who are selfish, regardless of how good they are,
and bring in Players who reflect and exude Kelly’s Team First Mentality and Character….
I do believe there is a good chance for McCoy to salvage himself with both Vick & D-Jax selfish attitude’s gone from the lockerroom, but it will be up to him to mature and buy into Chip Kelly’s Philosophy 100% or he will be next after D-Jax on the Hit-List..
Makes sens. Might as well trade a top 3 RB in the league. If you wanna say that DJax is replacable, I can almost see that, but McCoy? Come on man.
Not now Bugs, but in 2 Years time ..
If you hear the eagles Select RB Bishop Sankey from University of Washington in the 2nd Round.. Then you will know the clock is ticking faster than you think… Coach Kelly lost out on Recruiting Bishop Sankey and just loves his game.. The kid is the best Overall RB in this Draft Class and very few out of the Pacific Northwest know jack about him…
2 years time? They have legit holes to fill right now, Huge gaping holes on the defensive side of the ball. It would be ridiculous to take a RB in the 2nd round in this draft because you are concerned on what will happen to McCoy in 2-3 years.
Yes because his Oregon teams were full of such character guys like Lagarret Blount and Colt Lyeria and that’s just off the top of my head. I wonder how many other character guys were running around up there.
haha… not to mention his violations of NCAA policies at Oregon and subsequent flight to the the NFL. Still got some months to go on his Show Cause Penalty
If he is traded the eagles will draft Brandon cooks to replace him.
Ike Reese from WIP stated that Kelly has spoken to DJAX and said he is going nowhere! Keep in mind why this story broke out…it all has to do with $. I still don’t believe he is being traded…period. Fact is, every player can be traded for the right price.
Yeah fuck the defense.
Totally. Because if it ain’t broke let’s fix it and if it is clearly broke let’s ignore it altogether.
” If you’re going to subtract a guy who can stretch the field and open things up for a lot of other players on the offense, you better come away with a lot more than a third-round pick.”
There are 13 WR projected for the 1st or 2nd round. Almost all have 4.3 -4.4 speed. So you can draft a player that can stretch the field. In the 1st 2nd and even 3rd round.
One that is a team player. Is willing to lift weights. Eat a decent meal. Not look for as soft spot to fall down all the time. And actually break a tackle.
I have said for years “boney James” is overrated and he is easily shut down against any aggressive corner. Until the Saints DB went out with an injury “boney” his usual disappearing act in the biggest game of the year.
He is a regular season player and is not worth top 8 money. Foles is going to have to get paid after this year and the Eagles have already committed more money to the WR position than any other team in the NFL save one.
Boney’s 10 million a year needs to go. Free up space to pay Foles. Unless by some miracle he actually breaks a tackle this year. Or does not run backwards on punt returns.
Your can draft speed. So far in free agency the Eagles have added defensive backs that are big and fast. They will coach them up and they will compete. They will do the same at WR. The Todd Stinkston, James Trash and Boney James days of over in Philadelphia.
Bsmvideoe I guarantee Djax doesnt drop the game changing play Coop choked on vs New Orleans.
daggolden I wouldn’t be bringing up playoff games to support DJax vs Cooper.
DJax —2 catches for 47 yards 2011 vs Green Bay
DJax -3 catches 53 yards 2014 vs Saints
———————————————————————
Cooper –2 catches 18 yards 2011 vs Green Bay
Cooper- 6 catches 68 yards 1 Touchdown 2014 vs Saints
Eagles0superbowls I recall the announcers saying Djax is wide open all game why doesnt Foles throw him the damn ball. Then he eventually did a wala a deep completed pass. I then recall Djax clearing 50 yards of open space and wala Cooper choked. Game set match. Oh yeah New Orleans should relrase Graham because his playoff performance was pitiful.
Riley Cooper wide open behind Green Bay CB Tramon Williams and Mike Vick under throws the football late for an interception choking in the playoffs.
DJax was shut out in the saints game until 3 minutes left in the 3rd when Keenan Lewis suffered a game ending concussion. DJax didn’t show up until nobody bench warmer Cory White started covering him.
I’m willing to bet that when Darren Sproles said his offense will be scary, he meant with Desean in the line up, and not without him!
bsmvideos:
Todd Pinkston was fast..he had legit deep speed…yet you call him Stinkston, Stephen Hill has legit 4.3-4.4 speed and is big, he can’t catch a cold. You can’t assume that a rookie is going to come in and make an impact immediately, if at all. Desean actually did start lifting weights last off season, he’s just not a big guy. You can take any WR and find flaws in their game, skill set, character, physical condition and style of play.
Drafting speed always works. Just ask the Raiders.
Sure draft a WR in the first round so you have one less pick to sure up a leaky defense.
Clear his cap space even though you still have plenty of cap space to go around and players that are overpaid that probably won’t be on the team next year or maybe this year in Cole, Herremans and Casey.
Raiders never had a qb with all that speed
i find it hard to believe they will trade him just because of the $6.5 million we would have in DEAD money from his contract. While next year we can cut him essentially without a hit to the cap. I understand that we would rather get something for him rather than just cutting him but to me its not worth having $6.5 mil in dead money while leaving us thin at WR.
They need to squash all these rumors as soon as possible or he’s going to be thinking about it all off season.
The Eagles still have what? 20 million in cap space….and I’m not sure that they can carry that whole amount forward to next year (I may be wrong)…so exactly what detrimental effect does a dead money hit this year have anyway? Not much.
As I’ve stated 1000x, I don;t read much into offseason speculation. Nothing matters except what the Eagles do. Not what some people think they’re going to do.
But if Jackson is traded…..I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it, and I am quite sure the Eagles’ offense will be just fine without him.
Lets be real….Maclin will be on the field more than Avant was. Sproles will now be seeing the field. (I think a lot) Ertz will be on the field more than last year.
So start doing the math.
5 olinemen and a QB leaves 5 spots to share between DeSean, Maclin, Cooper, Ertz, Celek, LeSean AND now Sproles. (not to mention Polk, some drafted WR, whoever the 3rd te will be etc)
Someone’s production/opportunities are going to drop – a lot!
Are the Eagles really going to run a ton of 2 TE sets like we’ve been told? If so….
I think you are going to see a significant reduction in Desean’s time on the field as it stands right now….
THIS CAN ALL STOP NOW, THE DUMB TRADE RUMORS INVOLVING #10, THE DUMB ARTICLES ABOUT HIM BEING DEALT, AND SO ON
Coach Chip Kelly has reportedly called DeSean Jackson and told him not to worry about the intensifying trade rumors.
This whole mess started right after the Eagles’ playoff loss to the Saints, when Jackson suggested that he deserves a new contract just one year after inking a $47 million deal. Then came reports that the diva is not a fit in the locker room or Kelly’s scheme, and then came free-agent deals for Riley Cooper and Jeremy Maclin. Still, Kelly loves playmakers, the Eagles have plenty of cap room and Cooper/Maclin would be a well below average starting duo. We’d be surprised if a trade went down.

DESEAN JACKSON IS YOUR EAGLES STARTING WR THIS YEAR. LOVE IT OR HATE THAT IS IN STONE.
I ALMOST HOPE WE RESIGN THAT SHIT QB VICK JUST TO TALK ABOUT HOW BAD HE BLOWS INSTEAD OF THIS NONSENSE
But wait henski he’s a cancer and he has baggage and he’s soft and he’s a diva and and and the posters here are a bunch of bitch ass women who sound like they’ve never played a down of football in their lives.
desean is for sure soft and being the skinny smurf he is who can blame him… the other stuff is retarded.
im not deseans biggest fan mostly because he is a jackass and while playing for my team during the game he acts like one. dropping the ball on the 1/4 yard line pre-celebrating his TD comes to mind.
but i want him on the team, he is a difference maker and on a team where we have 0 on D i want as many on O as possible.
regardless of all this desean is and was never going anywhere. it legit would make 0 sense for any and all parties.
Sums it up for me.
Now can we go back to talking about the defense which is what is really wrong with the team.
***Latest Paulman Trade Alert***
Eagles announce a Trade of WR D-Jax to the Philadelphia Phillies for SS Jimmie Rollins..In a unprecedented Deal involving 2 Disgruntled Athletes from 2 DIfferent Sports traded for each other in the same City agreed upon by 2 GM’s, who are still confused and were left scratching their Heads…
When asked about D-Jax’s Potential and Position with the Phillies
GM Armaro States,” Well the kid does have some speed which we would like to utilize on the Base Path’s, I kinda of have a good Gut Feel about it”
and when GM Roseman asked about J-Ro’s potential… Roseman States ” We are not sure what to do with him just yet, but he loves to compete and loves the Game of Football, so we will figure where to play him”
Def-Com Records Owner Jay-Z, says “Those damn Philly People are some messed up folks”
Former Manuel Charlie MAnuel States “Almost the Craziest Deal I ever been around in my 50 years of Baseball… Good Golly”
Former Eagle Ron Jaworski …. ” I like Rollin’s Upside as a NFL WR,
has wuick hands and feet, burst of speed and really cool Sunglasses”
Even Gov Rendell got in the mix as he called for a “State Holiday” without relaizing he is no longer the Governor anymore… “Everyone on both sides as well as Fans needs to cool down and let this digest” …
I will be writing a new Cable TV Script about this .. Not sure what to call it, but it has legs already on Twitter…
Lol Paulman lol
It was said a number of years ago that when McNabb finally left town the hate would turn to Djax. Well… it took a detour to Vick but it has finally landed on the little guy. Im not surprised.
Love him, hate him- whatever… but sadly many of you have fallen into the little media hype that started in the press with the sole purpose of getting people to read the tabloids.. i mean papers… over the LONG dead period in the NFL.
NOTHING will happen. Nothing. And even if it does…. it wont happen till the draft.
Now- about our defense….
BTW- 1300 yards and 9 td’s for this year. In space- he is a problem. If we get offered a #1 for him… fine. Outside of that…. he stays in philly.
kelly called desean and said shut the fuck up and take your 10 mill and then called paulman and gloomy and told them are you two fucks gonna do what he does for this offense didnt think so chip kelly out
Paulman Flying up for a Phyical and a Lobster Dinner on Chip Kelly..
Lol 44
44 I’m in favor of keeping him if all they can get is a 3rd
I know what u mean i just want him one more season with are weapone in sproles and maclin
This story keeps getting crazy now reps for desean are saying him a chip never spoke lol this is out of control but if I can’t get a 1st and some change I don’t do the deal.
r u serious im done its time to hear frm horses mouth this shit is childest
‘days of our eagles’
where did you see this gloomy reese just reported it wip 2 hrs ago they did talk
this is a bad look for a wanna be rap mogul.
I told you guys this story was crazy yesterday and as usual, no on believed me… I’ve been all over this one…. D-Jax is calling on his Friend (Beyonce’)
to ask Howie out on a Date, it’s getting more ridiculous by the hour…
You guys have got to learn with all the stuff in the press to just chill and don’t over react. The stories are usually half truths or gotten from anonymous sources …meaning nobody of significance– in the old days stories like this were done to sell newspapers, then espn perfected them to get you to watch…now its number of hits on websites and blogs….whether its vick, jimmy or desean you suckers buy right in! (oh i’m guilty sometimes too)
just don’t judge every situation by the reports you read when no one in the decision making room comments!
I hope Kelly talked to Desean. (more on tis in a sec)
Desean won;t be going to the 49ers or Pats. Pats will never give up more than a 4th for a wr. 49ers have no $$ under their cap to re-negotiate a new deal for Desean – which would undoubtedly be part of any trade negotiations)
That leaves the Raiders, who have lots of cash and like to overspend on guys like Desean.
So. I hope Kelly spoke with Desean and it went something like this:
Desean. Here’s the deal. It’s all-in this offseason and season. No pouting, no whining, no arguing with coaches. No showboating. Every meeting paying attention etc.
If not, then we’re shipping your ass to the Raiders. They’ll give you a big fat 5 year contract and you can earn every penny of it rotting in the Black hole winning 4 games a year and watching your stats wither because they dont have a QB.
So you decide. Shut up, earn your 10 mill and be a good soldier on a winning program, or take the $$ and enjoy the disaster that is the Faders.
Your call.
T0day Jackson instagramed, or tweeted, or whatever the kids are doing these days:
“The most expensive thing in the world is trust. It can take years to earn and only a matter of seconds to lose.” Tupac
Damn, he is a whiny biatch.
I believe tupac died a violent gang style death..and quoting that genius ain’t exactly digging deep into the volumns of historic quotes…anyway a theory I heard was that the birds internal spy machine is not happy with the crowd he is keeping, the pics he is taking flashing gang signs and the fishiness of this break in…
Djax is just one stupid human being, quoting a thug rapper, putting it in the face of eagles chip Kelly and management,
Jackson is a goner, he will never suit up again as an eagle,
And the fact he can’t pass the moral turpitude test in Philly says a lot
We have felons, racists, liars, probably gays, but no room for gangsters
The Philly media are a bunch of bitches. All they care about is making it to the next level. All the writers want to be on the radio, all the radio guys want to be on local tv, all the local tv guys want to make it to the big networks. This is why u have bs stories like this.
Diax is going nowhere unless something that we do not know about has happened behind the scenes. Why would a coach trade one of his top 3 players for a draft pick that no one knows for sure can play. Look at all the WRs that were picked before djax that year. Most of them stink. Until he commits a crime or totally destroys the locker room there is no reason to get rid of him. This is football after all. What the hell do u want choirboys?
(Sigh) why oh why when an athlete likes rap music or tattoos we cant never keep it between the lines when discussing them. None of that stuff plays a part when the games start. people make me sick just say you don’t like him and move on. I can’t tell you how dumb a lot of you sound speaking on things you have no clue about trying to sum somebody up by some footage or a quote. If that was done to you over half the dumb shit said on here most would never get a job or be trusted with kids lol. gang signs? how do you now his hand signal represented a gang? people have hand signs for all sorts of things and some just do dumb shit with they fingers when taking a photo just bc with no meaning. Fraternities, streets, blocks families, hand signs could be anything so without actively participating in gang activity you are not in a gang or a gangster. Its sad that people take opportunities such as a business matter to expose their ignorance.
As far as Desean he makes me sick needing validation or some sort of coddling and reassurance that the team wants him here. A guy scheduled to make $10 shouldn’t have a question like that or care if they want him 2 years from now or not. If not all that means is another contract somewhere else, look at how Revis is pimping the system. I don’t like him always bitching, but it has nothing to do with his taste of music his friends who outsiders looking in can only be judging, or his tattoos or any other thing that has no barring on the outcome of Sunday’s games. The fact of the matter is he blows the top off of defenses and has to be game planned for week in and week out. Do not be stupid enough to think Riley Cooper can take on the #1 CB like Desean when he called Revis out the scorched the Bucs secondary.
If the Eagles want him here they need not be stubborn and learn from their experience with T.O. If not trade him and move on. Trading him however in no way will make us a better team next year, maybe in 2016 but next year we will suffer growing pains and adjustments.
Oh, I see now. He’s flashing fraternity signals in those pics.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Did I say that Vinny? point is you have no clue what the hand signals represent if anything at all. All you know is what you see on TV so you assume its easy for you and that’s fine. His hand sign could be representing his music label he started, YOU DO NOT KNOW!!! How about come with something intelligent to support your hate for things that have nothing to do with football about the man. right now over 80 balls 9 td’s over 1300 yards is not easy to replace. Its funny the glass is always half full with guys you don’t like, but you will cry if Foles is not able to be as effective without all the spacing having a Desean creates. you think if Desean doesn’t play Foles gets those 9td’s 1300 yards between the rest of the rec on the roster last year? Don’t let your hate get in the way of common sense.
I forgot alleged woman beaters, but no room for djax
Looking at some of these posts the level of ignorance is ridiculous so flashing hand signs means you in a gang, being upset because you see your name in every trade rumor make you a whiner. I don’t who the bigger bitches are the media or half the posters on here. Didn’t see all this vitrol when Mister Cooper was running around yelling the n word, but yep let Djax say something and oh my he’s a thug and whatever, I can see through most of you dudes like glass.
I guess next time I see a guy with a sleeveless flannel shirt I should make all kinds of assumptions about eating possum dropping N bombs and jamming to Kenny Chesney.
And watching Re-Runs of “Duck Dynasty”
Good Grief …
uh the cooper thing drew a helluva lot more attention than djax…
the media, including this website are being extremely kind to Desean Jackson –
the Crips gang is a terrorist organization, ( prostitution, sex slave, burglary, narcotic distribution, fraud, tax evasion, intimidation, murder)
Wannabes don’t get to pretend to be crips in the presence of other crips using their battle signs. He is a member of a terrorist organization.
So you know for a fact he’s a gang member? More ignorance but I come to expect that. The Mafia is a terrorist organization as well that gambling wise probably affect every pro sports league but hey it’s all good tin Hollywood they glamorize that stuff.
oh my naive mistake, I now understand better.
DJax was doing research for a movie. He was hanging out with the real Crip gang members and practicing their battle signs with them for future entertainment purposes, like an actor probably doing research.
Keep displaying your racist ignorance.
I went from ignorance to now racist ignorance because I have zero tolerance for anyone who promotes: prostitution, sex slavery, burglary, narcotic distribution, fraud, tax evasion, intimidation, & murder. I didn’t make that connection myself the media did. I was presented with the facts and concluded he supports the Crip Gang.
Dude NFL security would have been all over that
maybe they are BL and thats what all this crap is about! or maybe they don’t know because snitches end up in ditches! just like on the sopranos!!!!
NFL security was all over it Big!
“The NFL has hired experts to study game footage to determine whether players are displaying street-gang hand signals as part of their on-field celebrations, the Los Angeles Times reports.”
And trust me it would be the lead story on ESPN for a month but it hasn’t no way that wouldn’t have been leaked
i disagree with the ‘it would have been leaked’ comment… it will get out especially if they were to only get a third rounder
ESPN did run the story – Headline >> Report: NFL to review tape for evidence of on-field gang signs…. google it!
It’s not a secret… The NFL has been on it since 2008…
Where specifically was Desean Jackson mentioned in this report?
Big L, They’re racists with one heck of a double standard. White is right in their eyes. Many were raised that way others developed that over time..
Its pathetic and sad to read this ignorance. Riley gets a pass in their eyes but Jackson should be traded, your very best WR on your team with the most production of them all hahaaa so telling
making an accusation like that without knowing a person is straight up ignorant and/or stupid and shows just how little you know about the world.
Cooper got a pass? again shows you how stupid you are!
Alright then. So I should be able to walk right in to some of the dicier areas in southern California and just start throing up those same hand signs I see in Desean’s pics.
It’d be all good, because no one knows hat they mean.
I might just be promoting my on record label.
Do whatever you want but if you don’t understand don’t speculate it makes you seem stupid.
What’s clearly stupid is suggesting that what he’s doing in the pics is flashing fraternity signs or promoting his record label.
BTW – When exactly did you lose your sense of humour anyway?
Because rappers don’t flash hand signs representing their label? Again if you don’t understand don’t comment.
No doubt on more than one occasion Jackson flashed the crips gang sign, once on the field against a redskins defender and recently with some rapper
Whatever it is that DJax does that doesn’t sit well with Kelly is not public knowledge.
I think DeSean does many of the things that Kelly likes on the field. Kelly just traded for another small guy like Jackson – so it’s not his size that Kelly don’t like.
I think there is something we don’t know that the Eagles organization, and Chip Kelly does knows.
If I had to guess I would say that there is more to DeSean’s house being robbed than we know… One thing for sure – when you have over a hundred grand and some guns in a safe in you house that might not be so bad. But when there is a criminal element on the streets that knows what you have in your house, that might not be good…
DeSean was very likely robed by his mates…. That says something.
Haha Eagle fans watch a few episodes of gangland now are experts on “crip” signs.lol
Hahahahaha unbelievable drag
So funny how after one good year from Riley the racist Cooper, these clowns wanna forget all that Desean has done for this team.
He’s allowed for Riley and the rest of the receiving core to get open and produce. You guys need to wake up, this discussion is about money not any of deseans antics off the field because he’s been the same way since he was in HS College and the NFL. Nothing has changed..
And not to mention his on field production. No one can ignore that. So the idiots bring up the gang signs, the hat turned backwards as if no players turn there hats back, and the “thug” term is used a lot and it makes you look like a racist reject.
There are a lot of players and regular people in general that aren’t in the gang itself but have friends and associates that are so yes they’re gang affiliated but not putting in the work, maybe before the fame he was initiated who knows thats not my place to say, but regardless Desean gets a pass because of this and can throw it up..
If you dont understand how it all works say that, but dont talk out your butt on a topic you have no clue about and say “oh he’s just another black thug” in more ways than one..
You guys really need to be careful how you word yourself. And the ones that have strong “issues” always reveal themselves when a rumor like this is brought up. Interesting how many were clamoring for the eagles to sign Cooper back, trade desean and let Maclin walk, sheesh something is seriously wrong with this picture..
i don’t believe there was anyone on here saying jackson isn’t a good player… i believe that most of us know his value on the field but question his character and possible detriment to the team in other areas. i also believe that if you had a real source you would tell us eactly what the the eagles problem is with him…
John Hart our President, Attorney General, and Home Land Security Director have asked anyone who suspects criminal activity to contact them even if you are not sure.
fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/terrorism
Jon Hart, you and Dag can bury your head in the sand and call it racism, but the NFL take a different view on players flashing gang signs on the field.
“There have been some suspected things we’ve seen,” said Milt Ahlerich, the league’s vice president of security, according to an LA Times’ report. “When we see it, we quietly jump on it immediately, directly with the team and the player or employee involved to cease and desist. Period.”
Maybe you never saw DeSean’s hand gestures to DeAngelo Hall, but I would be willing to bet the league office talked to the Eagles about it… Now his house is robbed and they steal a handgun and more than $250,000 in jewelry and cash.
Who cares about gang signs and who he hangs out with. Im going to call this exactly for what it is. Desean Quits when he isn’t feeling like he’s being respected. Either getting the ball or money. I saw Biglions post talking about people whining…Dude seriously if one of my teammates ever quit because he was being selfish I would 1. Put my foot up his ass 2. toss him off the fn field. Obviously this doesn’t sit well with Chip Kelly and it shouldn’t sit well with any Eagles fan. Who wants to go to war with a dude that could quit because he was missed open one play? Thats the truth of the whole situation. He quit on the team because he wasn’t paid enough in 2011…Maybe the team should have asked for money back the games he quit last year. Instead he wants a raise. Certain people on this site will protect overlook any bad behavior for certain people. Riley was stupid in his private life also..but he’s a team player enogh said on him. Desean is getting double the money of any receiver on the team this year. STFU do your job and get paid…or get traded and be someone elses problem.
who a person associates with off the field is important…ask the patriots and aaron hernandez…. you know the eagles private eye department is all over his associations….
What I meant by who cares is that hes done enough on the field to warrant his trading. That shit is just icing on the cake.
Desean quit 2x (at least) last year. Both times when the team was losing. Once when his (basically) rookie QB was struggling and was in need of support.
No one remembers that play when Foles was rolling right, desean started to run parallel and then just let up and Foles got planted?
Desean just stopped running and let his QB get killed. You don;t think Kelly sees that.
You don;t think Kelly sees Desean standing there making no effort to do anything when a DB intercepts the ball and starts running away from him.
You don;t think Kelly sees Desean’s body language after he puts his arm in the air and Foles then Foles dumps the ball off somewhere else and Desean heads back to the sideline pouting?
You don’t think that Kelly sees Desean chasing after his WR coach yelling at him?
You don;t think that possibly Kelly doesn;t like this?
Look, the hand sign house robbed backwards hat dressing business is just background windrow dressing to the fact that Desean only plays hard when he wants to.
You don’t care about flashing gang signs, I’m sure lurie does and all other law abiding people
I care but it doesn’t matter when the dude is quiting on his Team. If he was the best person ever but quit on his team…hes gone.

Jackson flashed the crip gang sign again on March 10 with rapper hussle who also flashed it with two others, Jackson then posted the photo on instagram
No doubt the eagles want to get rid of him
So funny how the same racist clowns come out of the wood work and make their same racially motivated type of comments over and over again, disguising themselves as diehard fans when its more to it than that..
They attack whoever exposes them for who they are or disagrees with their point of retarded view…
Theyre the same guys that said in regards to the Riley Cooper crap, “They (meaning black people) use the N word in their rap songs so whats wrong with using the word?”
That’s how these racist rejects reason. Disgusting..
Anyone that’s black with a hat turned backwards and listens to rap music is a thug right?! Stupidity..
It would be priceless if after all of this nonsense that Jackson is still on the team week 1.. it would be priceless.. I ll laugh in your racist faces hahaa
Like I said above that stuff is trivial compared to quiting on the field. No one can defend that. Unless you have sources that can?
X I think that’s being overblown as well by fans you don’t hear teammates or coaches talking about that.
I only know what I see bro. He admitted he quit over his money…that bugs me personally.
Yes I had a big problem when he let his contract dictate the level of his effort total immaturity.
***More NFL News***
DE Jarred Allen signs with the Seattle Seahawks, Terms and Conditions have not been released as of yet…
DT Henry Melton Signs with the Dallas Cowboys on a 1 Year $5 MIllion Deal.. Melton was not pursued by his former Team, the Bears and was an
All-Pro in 2012 before suffering a knee injury last Summer Camp
Allen has not officially sign with Seattle. He is weighing the offer against a few others. I have said it before, I would like to see the Birds sign Allen to a 2 year incentive laden contract. We really need to address this defense and our pass rush. Allen would be a strong addition to the DLINE rotation and a good influence in the locker room (according to Herm Edwards).
