DeSean Jackson To Sign With Washington

DeSean JacksonDeSean Jackson and the Washington Redskins have reportedly agreed on a three-year deal worth $16 million guaranteed.

Chip Kelly’s decision to move on from Jackson is going be even more heavily criticized if the electric wide receiver goes on to help a division rival become stronger. Jackson’s presence could cause a significant shift in power within the division. Not only have the Eagles lost one of their top playmakers in his prime, but they allowed him to go to a division rival. If this move goes on to pay huge dividends for the Redskins, its going to go down as one of the great, unforced errors that has ever been made by a head coach/front office.

Jackson will be a tremendous upgrade to the Washington offense. He’ll make a solid one-two punch with Pierre Garcon, and he’ll give Robert Griffin a vertical threat unlike one that he’s ever had in his career.

Throughout his time in Philadelphia, Jackson had some of his best efforts against division rivals. He’s got 118 receptions for 2,077 yards and 10 touchdowns against the NFC East.

Now that great big-game production will serve the Washington Redskins instead of the Philadelphia Eagles. And you can bet that Jackson will more than motivated to have a couple of those games against the head coach and organization that cast him aside.

With no criminal charges or larger stories surrounding Jackson’s off-field life, it looks more and more to me that Chip Kelly may have just committed a huge blunder that will come back to haunt him and the organization.

I thought the birds would finish first in the NFC East with a 9-7 record tied with Washington before the release and change of teams. This may have tipped the scale in Washington’s favor. I love Jordan Reed’s talent, he is going to pro bowl this season. DJax stats are going to plummet in Washington back to 800 and 5 touchdowns but Washington is a serious double digit win team now.

April 2, 2014 10:00 am

Yeah, Reed is a serious talent not unlike our Zach Ertz though. Both of them are the new breed of Tight Ends in the NFL. Reed is going to steal a lot of balls from DeSean. The skins still have 0 offensive line, and 0 defense. If they get off to their normal slow starts to their games we’re going to see a lot of DeSean moping on the sideline. I would still favorite the Eagles for the Division, but it is only the 2nd Day of March, and injuries happen.

Redskins win the offseason every year and it blows up in their face. Every time it looks great on paper and the media buys it and then guess what the games are actually played…
For some reason to me this is nothing compared to when TO left to go play for the Cowboys. I was furious then but this is nowhere near that and Desean was actually drafted here.
Im just not worried at all about the redskins. Their QB is overhyped and an injury waiting to happen. The dude isn’t even mentally tough enough to handle people on twitter. They have no defense whatsoever. And Desean can be shut down by dudes like Keenan Lewis and then just stop trying.

Ok here is my take on all of this and I got facts. People are saying that we are worst off with dejackass . In 2008 Drew brees threw for 5,094 yards and not ONE WR has over 1,000 yards, the next year they won the super bowl. 2012 Shady was injured and only had 840 yards rushing and dejackass only had 45 catches for a measly 700 yards. Last year shady had 1607 rushing yards and dejackass had 1332 why?? First rule of football , THE RUN OPENS UP THE PASS….

When shady was hurt teams didn’t stack the box because they knew it was nothing, so they played man or cover 2 with a safety over the top to shut down dummy boy. Now last year they had to try and stop shady so they picked there poison and let dejackass run free. BUT, it wasn’t just that it’s the SYSTEM. How many times have we witnessed a player leave here and go be a pro bowler other place because they were a perfect fit for that system. To win in the NFL you can’t just line up and play you got pro athletes right across from you who are just as good as you most times. You have to create mismatches all over the field which we did. What team did you see they send out a BASIC package on the field and run 1 play, then quickly before the other team can guess what package to use to defend you got the same guys lined up spread out all over the place meanwhile the defense is tired and guessing what to do….. It is simple you get the right players to match up and take advantage of and exploit the coverage.

We had Vick and he was the type of player that didn’t read the coverage well so he just took a chance and threw the ball up after scrambling where the defense had to guess if Vick was going to run or not and that also freed up dejack. Football is about mismatches .. not 1 man.. I can’t wait to get tickets to see them play that kid and they are going to smash him, why. Because the team Chip is building is going to be disciplined, we let our outside rushers flush RG3 up in the pocket where we are looking to get bigger at so we can collapse that pocket and not give him time. RGdummy likes to do the VICK thing where he throws it up while being pilled to the ground. Hey, the year after Brees threw for over 5,000 yards with no 1,000 yard receiver they won the super bowl by putting speed on the field with mismatches coming out the back field I.E Reggie bush and DAREN SPROLES.. you needed to pick your poison if you were a LB. Now we got him. Go figure.

THE EAGLES WIN!!!

The Redskins are guaranteeing $16 million of 24 million over 3 years. They were already tight in cap space at 6 milllion.

Had the Redskins addressed this need in the WR deep draft it would have cost them half the expense and cap hit.

Second. RG3 is the leader of the Redskin offense. I wonder how much patience he is going to have for Desean’s temper tantrums when Desean does not get the ball? RG3 is a team player, I wonder how much patience he is going to have when Desean refuses to go over the middle?

The Redskins don’t have what would have been the 2nd pick in the draft. The signed offensive linemen and a pricey WR. They picked up an offensive minded coach, who is already promising to build the offense around RG3.

Desean will get his fair share of plays against the Eagles. However, from day 1, Kelly said he wanted a bigger team. I for one have been wishing for a bigger team, much like the Steelers for most of the Andy Reid era. Those undersized players (trent cole, boney James) always fade out at the end of the year.

It’s Kelly’s team and he needs to put his kind of players on the field, not the FAT MAN’s.

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Desean made it clear who his master was at the end of the season. I make 10.6 million my team just lost the play-offs, I stunk, but yes, I think I deserve more money.

Not “I have got to figure out how to beat press coverage”. Not “how could I get shut down on a team that has a great running back, an accurate passer and very good TEs.” Maybe I can get stronger and lift some weights.

Nope…Just “I want more money”. Well let’s see what he does in Washington. He married the first girl that kissed him for a reason. There wasn’t anybody else stupid enough to pay him that kind of money.

Short term gain for the Redskins. Long term gain for the EAGLES.

WR’s Pierre Garcon is a Whiner also if he’s not getting the Ball
I look at Garcon,D-Jax, RGIII as a pretty Volatile mix with some potential issues…
They addded Slot WR Andre Roberts from the CArindals who is another young speedy Receiver
I imagine they will release Veteran Santana Moss to clear up some Cap Space, but would miss his Leadership if they do…

Izzell Andy Reid did not have a new system he was trying to take the league by storm with. Also if your memory serves you correctly we could not move the ball at all in our first meeting with Dmac and the Skins. Kevin Kolb calling out plays when we played the Cards it happens. Patriots were considering signing Avant just to troll Chip. His system is new innovative to the NFL and teams are already using play cards. So to compare Trotter a LB and T.O who was only here a year is typical and not thought out.

DJax played one year in an offense, do you really think the offense will be the same next year? Lmao McNabb played for Reid for a decade…Vick put up 60 lol where was the inside knowledge?

It really doesn’t make any difference how productive Desean is for the Redskins. Whether or not this was a good or bad decision is completely contingent on how well the Eagles do.

Exactly. Hammer them accordingly then. Ertz is going to be featured HEAVILY in this offense I feel going foward and a 2 back set with Sproles and McCoy could be devastating.

We won’t know until after the draft about the speed element of this team yet. Plus there are still a couple of bargain bin burners in free agency.

Remember the Cowboys picked up Laurent Robinson off of the scrap heap and he had an incredible year. I think it is easier to find a speed WR more then anything.

Colts got T.Y Hilton in the 3rd round out of FIU. I would take a similar type player there in a heartbeat.

“Evan has been since Day 1, since I got here, just outstanding,” Kelly said, “whether it’s in the meeting rooms, in the weight room, on the practice field – he practices every day.”

Just busting Vinnie’s balls fellas, by the way he must have said to someone or else they wouldn’t have given his agent permission to seek a trade come on guys. Everything is not black and white, is Desean a victim? Hell no. Did the Eagles handle this well? Hell no, but it’s done just don’t insult my intelligence by saying you’ll replace DJax with Sproles and Ertz.

The guy who said Vick was as good as Foles?

Not much to insult. The eagles will easily replace Desean with Maclin, Sproles and an improved Ertz.

Easily.

You didn’t believe what I said before the draft last year (about them going OL and TE not D), but I was right.

You didn’t believe me last year when I said the Birds would be much better off with Foles over Vick, but I was right.

You don’t believe what I am saying this year that Desean will not be missed, but I am right.

One day you’ll figure it out.

The Eagles are really cursed…this is worse than the year the Eagles traded Chris Carter to Minnesota, because Jackson isn’t on drugs and all the things that have been said about Jackson are ultimately false. What’s worse is I think the Eagles are setting up to trade LeSean McCoy because of his close friendship with DeSean Jackson…if that is case the Darren Sproles acquisition makes more sense, but it will leave the Eagles back in a situation where they might be able to get close to the ultimate victory, but no cigar for another frickin generation.

I think the Eagles offense will be top 5 again next year…. DeSean was a great player, but I think they will replace him with another great player.

It’s a shame the Eagles couldn’t keep DeSean and used all their high draft picks on defense, but if Kelly thinks it’s best to part ways with DeSean, I’ll support him for now.

It would be nice to know why DeSean and Kelly couldn’t co-exist, but I don’t think we will ever know. We can all guess, but we don’t know for sure.

The thing that puzzles me the most is why DeSean told everyone that him and Chip talked and he was staying. I can almost guarantee that Chip did not tell him he would be back…. But why did DeSean lie?

Chip Kelly actually doesn’t have $10M to pay DeSean Jackson, so the money element had nothing to do with him. Personally, I think the gang ties nonsense was a rouse to get Lurie to buy into releasing Jackson if a trade wasn’t going to happen and ultimately a smokescreen for anyone and everyone watching to try to cover up a supreme blunder steeped in insecurity and prejudice. It’s almost a week later and there aren’t remotely any reports of police on their way to lock up DeSean Jackson.

If Lurie is still solely interested in winning championships as he’s always claimed jettisoning a top 10 WR over unsubstantiated, unconfirmed rumors flies in the face of what he’d love to do and has failed to do 2 DECADES time. After 20 years of failing to accomplish the ultimate objective I would have thought he would have grown a pair by now and made an executive decision having the kind of starting line-up they had.

DeSean Jackson is a bit of a knucklehead, but he’s not even a fraction of the head case T.O. was.

Maybe Chip Kelly lied…and given the bogus reports of gang ties and the way the Eagles tried to sink DJax career and now their refusal to tell the fans what happened here….there is good reason to believe that it is Kelly and the Eagles that have lied. I think they all this stuff about his attitude and not ‘buying’ in is bogus,..I think DJax wanted more money and the Eagles know that DJax will play hardball when he is not getting his money.
Again…the bottom line here is that Kelly had better win…no excuses…we need some playoff wins this year…no shorts…no brakes…Kelly has used up his ‘give him a break’ card by getting rid of DJax…he has to win!

I can see that but I disagree. I think with the way the passing game is going and the way Seattle got away with pass interference as technique you are going to see bigger Wrs as the trend to pick up.

I’ve been banging the Mike Evans drum for a while and will until the draft is over that is the physical mismatch you want on the outside IMO.

It was beyond fustrating seeing teams like the Chiefs Saints and even the Cowboys play us man to man and grinding the offense to a holt. A ton of that had to do with no one in the slot position and no true pass back outside of McCoy.

BDawk had an interesting take on the DeSean Jackson release.

“This is not something that all of a sudden had the gang affiliation thing tied to it and that was the thing the Eagles looked at to say, ‘You know what? This is the thing we’re allow him to walk for.’ No, it was all the other things that have happened over the time that he’s been here and the things he has not corrected in his character, some of the things that he does within the building with coaches and the like they were concerned about.”

“It’s being a professional, it’s being able to be counted on to be with your team, do what you’re supposed to do. Not skate around the corner, the cut corners, not doing some of the things that he’s allegedly been doing.”

A guy like BDawk takes offense to someone laying down on the job. I’m not surprised he’s not a DeSean fan.

Sherman’s article IMO was blatant race baiting and actually insulting(especially for me because I took his stance and was beyond pissed when people used the dreaded word “thug” which is code for “n”)when he pointed out race but left out the examples of Vick/Aldon Smith/Mike Williams/ Aqib Talib/ etc etc.

Im not naive my man, I can read between the lines of some of these posts and I know you can too. Whether it was pro cut gangbang stance/ or cooper is racist team supports racist stance….when unbiased realism knows the reason this man got released was he was a pain in the ass who a new coach didnt want to tolerate and views the position differently.

I look at it differently. They owe us nothing on the matter outside of having a plan and executing it after.

The new sentiment in this town that DJax was a golden child is hypocritical because IMO he was one of the catalysts of Andy losing this team and they tuning him out by the end. Half the team does one thing the other half does another.

For me I look at players different and I think its rare for a leopard to change his spots. Not saying it can’t happen but rare. On Vick I was impressed with him off the field as a man but on the field he never changed. The interception in the GB game was vintage Vick and I knew then he was not the guy. DJax quit in 11 and was a roller coaster to root for. Also the Saints game with Keenan Lewis just totally taking him out of the game one on one and his attitude after getting physically abused soured me a bit.

Not to mention at the game some the of the killer sacks that Foles took were EXACTLY because DJax couldnt get open against Lewis and Foles held onto the ball waiting.

Kelly said nothing of the sort about DJax specifically. Not to mention their offense opened up going into the 4th AFTER Lewis.

All 22 is meaningless to that point. You can find open plays missed holes blocks etc on EVERY play.

If anything EVERYTHING Kelly has said after only backs it up that MAN TO MAN was his offenses Achillees heel and was the EXACT defense Ryan put on the Eagles in the playoffs.

Keenan is 6’1 210 they locked him up on DJax and it was a wrap until he got the concussion. Has nothing to do with jibing with what I believe because what I believed is we should have played power football because of the man to man.

Its the reason I have been beating the Mike Evans drum for some time now. I think thats the WR type that he is looking to bring in.

IMO Chip sees Sproles as the key mismatch because you play him on the field with McCoy and a monster on the outside with Cooper Maclin etc.

The entire year I kept thinking if only Maclin was in the slot instead of Avant.

Foles didn’t stare down Jackson. The one thing Foles didn’t do all year was stare down receivers. When you are getting manned up eventually wideouts have to make plays. Not to mention because Chip got away from the run early in that game most of the Eagles third downs were 3rd and longs. Ryan was bringing the house then because he knew he had the outside locked and they played everything underneath.

Checkdowns in 3rd and long are getting you nothing. The only sack that was particularly ugly was the one in the 2nd when they were driving and that cost the FG.

They had Avant covered in those 3rd and longs with a LB and put Vaccaro or Ertz or Celek or if no TE McCoy.

I was in the stands and it felt like the Pinkston/Thrash Carolina game all the way to the 4th QTR. Then Lewis got hurt and Ryan stop playing man to man.

Not true. There’s s difference between locking on 1 receiver and holding onto ball waiting for multiple receivers to get open. In Vicks case he would lock then run…in Foles case he’s not the mobile athlete so he runs through progression but his fault is not throwing it away etc.

Vick and Foles from a pocket passing standpoint are night and day.

In that game I saw him go through multiple reads but instead of just living to play another play he held the ball too long and lost track of pressure.

In any case his lack of Ints shows he doesn’t make bad throwing decisions so I would live with that for now.

I was reading one of those All-22s or whatever about how the Eagles were going to use Sproles on a wheel route. Same play they used with McCoy and also Desean.

A Wheel is a down, out, then down again, with a QB fake coming on the “out” portion. Get the CB or S to bite or hesitate, then turn it upfield. Its probably my favourite route.

Anyway, they showed vid of McCoy, Desean and Sproles running it (with the Saints). The 2 rbs did like they were told. Cut out crisply, and were wide open when they cut up.

Desean did not. He sort of ran this “S” thing. Looping his cuts. The DB did not bite (obv) and ran with Desean.

Now – did Desean get open and catch the ball? Yes. But that’s the problem for the coaches. Sure he has speed (now) enough to get open, but its lazy. And the Coaches see this. And they want no part of it. You’re supposed to run a wheel, run a wheel, not some Lazy half-assed whatever I want I’ll still be open” pattern. That’s why he was cut.

Love what Dawkins said, because its true.

He’s a playmaker a dynamic one at that. No one can take that from him. However he’s a front runner and everything has to be perfect which is why ultimately he is in the position he is in.

Garcon blew his lid last year about the passing game….AND HE CAUGHT OVER 100 passes.

Now add DJax to that who thinks hes a no.1 WR as well….

If jackson was so bad, why wasn’t he suspended, fined or given some form of discipline this year. Why do some Philly fans feel the constant need to worry, concern and knock our players if their actions doesn’t impact the bottom line? Win baby, just win!
None of us GCobbers are in the locker room, nor do we know Jackson personally. I also heard Klecko say he would not have cut Jackson through it all. 82 for 1332, 9 TD’s and 60 first downs…I’ll take the me me me because thus far, player with that production over a super team guy who only gives me half of that production as a number 1. All WR’s have some selfishness to them as they want the ball. i don’t want any player who is like…It’s ok if I don’t get the ball..for he is not a competitor and lacks passion.

I would have held onto him one more year to take advantage of the draft as far as defense is concerned. I didn’t think he’d be back for 2015 so I wasn’t worried about it. I just wanted to see Djax with Maclin, Shady and Sproles. That would’ve been epic.

Eagles I’ve been asking that since day 1, Desean Jackson did not fit the mold Chip Kelly wanted, Howie Roseman didn’t want to pay him 10.5 million dollars. Nothing wrong with that most of us are adults just say that and move on. Like I said Mr. Gangbanger locker room cancer one trick pony just got 16 million guaranteed so he’ll be just fine.

Birds 24/7 has a nice article about Djax breaking down his catches, routes etc. The article completely destroys the nonsense about him being a 1 trick pony.

60 first down receptions one hell of a one trick pony. Again Eagles doesnt fit the narrative.
