DeSean Was Never Going Anywhere

DeSean JacksonDesean Jackson can leave his bags in storage; he is going to be an Eagle in 2014.  He along with Chip Kelly and Howie Roseman are all trained actors headlining the cast of “Days of Our Lives.”

The soap opera has been quite entertaining but tiring none the less.  Led by breaking news updates, Twitter feeds, Instagram uploads and “sources” leaking information, this indirect story has taken over, but yet all are “certain” his time in Philadelphia is over.

Did Chip call or did Desean Jackson call?  Did he leave a voicemail, try texting, skyping, emailing, how about sending him a hand written letter?

From a third round compensation to being released, the teams rumored to be interested and the Jets owner who was vocal with his interest; what will be the outcome of Desean Jackson?

Desean has openly expressed his emotions and feelings; quoted a diseased rap star and shared his personal collection of pictures with athletes from other NFL teams.

And all the while, all that “we know” has not come from the Eagles minus the statement made by Howie Roseman yesterday.

Personally, I have gone through every emotion and thought since all of this started.   I allowed myself to gauge which teams I thought could give us the best return value for his services, but I’m done with that.

I’m now laughing at this situation.  Chip is probably laughing too, while Howie loves to hear the speculation about his poor general manager skills and how he mishandled this entire situation.

I can hear a future interview with Chip, him joking with the media that he is planning to have breakfast, lunch and dinner with Desean to make sure he is happy about being an Eagles during all three meal times.  Chip following that by promising the media he will text Desean before bedtime so that he gets the “proper” amount and quality of sleep that Kelly asks from his players.

Roseman will imply that he has always been open when asked about his plans for the offseason and free agency, and he delivered on that plan.  He will act puzzled to the notion that he would simply release a Pro Bowl player for the sake of “keeping the peace.”

Who, what, where, when, why and how all of this got started will get answered in pieces, but the entire story will never come to the surface.

We will slowly forget it ever took place when Desean makes a big play.  We will question why the Eagles did not move him the first sign of his pouting on the sideline, yelling at a teammate/receiver coach or not giving his all on a play.

This is Desean Jackson, a special player both on and off the field.  Deion Sanders, Randy Moss, Michael Irvin, T.O., all a mixed bag of personalities who had Hall of Fame careers.

You take the good with the bad, and hope the good outweighs and outlasts the bad.

like the article. bottom line i think you are saying all parties are/were just trolling us. while funny i just dont think its true.

i think desean and/or deseans agent was playing a game of chicken with the eagles… then desean got nervous because he hadnt heard from the eagles and he was scared he wasnt gonna get his 10.5… then started popping off, then got some love.

now he can go into camp and get ready to fucking dominate the NFL and sweep the NFC east in 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Through the first 6 years of both T.O and Desean’s career’s-

T.O- 412 catches- 6,170 yards-14.9 yards a reception- 60 TD’s(with 1RTD)
DJax-356 catches-6,117 yards-17.2 yards a reception-33 TD’s(with 3RTD)

while clearly he is no TO in terms of TD’s or power…. he is for sure able to be mentioned with a game changer like T.O.

All this shit comes from Desean’s camp because he knows what is about to happen.

He sees the Birds adding Maclin and Sproles. He knows Foles’ comfort with Cooper. He knows Ertz is about to double his catches and TDs.

He knows what is about to happen to his #s as he gets closer to FA.

Anyone thinks Desean will put up the same stats next year in an offence where’s he’s now the 3rd option (at best) is stupid.

50 catches 800-900 yrds 4-5 tds.

Goodbye payday.

Desean knows this……you should too!

That’s wishful thinking.

DeSean was going somewhere and there’s still a chance DeSean is still going somewhere. They lost all leverage in the trade battle – releasing him without getting anything for him was dumb…and they’ve decided to make nice..for now.

But if anyone thinks all those reports were bogus…well denial is more than just a river in Africa.

GCobb was on DNL tonight and stated Djax is 1st in NFL with tds over 40 yards with 20 since entering the NFL. At 165lbs has missed 12 games in his career which is 6th best since entering the NFL for WRs. Coming off a career year. That anyone that thinks Sproles and his 4 yard out patterns on 3rd down makes up for Djax is foolish. That counting on a injury prone Maclin to all of the sudden become some stud receiver is playing with fire. That whoever was drunk at the NovaCare center and even contemplated getting rid of a 27 year old playmaking probowl receiver finally came out of there drunken state. Finally he said that any of the idiotic fans who seriously believed this offense is better without Djax are just plain stupid. lol. I hear you GCobb.

Drunk Mutha Fucka in Noacare is Roseman. I don’t think he likes DeSean – remember there have been DeSean trade rumors for a couple of years now…they just never got this bad before.

I think he convinced himself (with Kelly’s assurance) they could make it happen without DeSean. The problem was everything snowballed out of control and once folk thought he’d be released they said fuck a trade we’ll just wait for him to hit the open market.

SO yeah Roseman woke up from his drunken stupor. Realized releasing him for nada was done. And asked Kelly to call and make nice before his big meet with the press tomorrow.

Whatever. As long as Jax is still on the team I could care less ’bout all the face saving they are trying to do now.

If Roseman had come out and said all is good no one would have had anymore to say. The fact that he didn’t spoke volumes.

I don’t think DeSean is out of the woods yet. The situation is still fluid, but I think the worst is over…though I’m not gonna like I don’t see them paying him 10 mil next year…and if he restructures I think they will trad him.

But that’s the conspiracy theorist in me.

No team does everything right and you need a bit of luck regardless on how ell run a franchise is. Seahawks absolutely MISSED the boat with Matt Flynn and Charlie Whitehurst stumbled on a QB and boom look how things fall into place. Roseman is an idiot but the last two drafts have been good to great. Kill them when needed but the other nonsense just makes people look ignorant and stupid.

Nope.

While I do not like what I read/saw about his relationship with the mother of his child – tha’s his personal business that I hope he gets sorted.

Otherwise, I’ve never seen him dive backwards into the endzone, run away from his teammates pounding his “me me me” chest, never seen him push his coach out of the way to ensure the cameras are on him only, never seen him sulking on the field, quitting on plays or sulking because things are not going “his” way.

Never seen him think it was fun to give the ball to the other team more than scoring tds.

Never seen him quit on an entire season because he was upset he wasn’t enough of a millionaire.

I’ve seen Desean and Vick do all those things.

I have not seen McCoy do any of those things.

So keep teying to paint me with your ‘one size fits all” bursh. It isn’t going to work.

I will never say anything bad about McCoy (well, except I’d like him to dance a bit less and just hit that hole for 3 yards more often) untill he starts doing what those other me first players were doing.

I do not like Vick. He is an overrated ‘me first’ player.

I do mot like Jackson. He is an overrated ‘me first’ player.

I like McCoy. I have McCoy jersey (not that you care).

You do know his wife is from my hometown don’t you. You might be suprised how close I am to the extended McNabb family.

So blow your “I know people from their postings on a sports blog” allusions out your ass.

Desean is a mini-man overrated mini-man dive.
Vick is an overrated mini-man terrible QB that only the Jets wanted.

McNabb was a great Eagle QB (though not HOF) who I enjoyed watching very much.
McCoy is a great RB who clearly has some personal issues that he’s hopefully sorted out.

vinnietheloser! you are pathetic! Desean is a All-Pro wide receiver who is clearly a major reason for the Eagles success last year. Nick Foles- who’s silence on this matter is disturbing for a QB that is supposed to lead the team- should be begging management to keep him…because he knows when he steps back to throw…a safety is going to be deep…in fear of Jackson and Cooper is going to have one on one coverage.
Trading Jackson for a pick is foolish and cutting him would be the height of stupidity…just like your claims that he is overrated…pure stupidity!

Get the 3rd for him this draft loaded up and down with wr that got size speed and ballsIf you not gonna utilize him right way whats the senseWhen we had TO you saw what a big physical receiver can do the only yr in reids watch we went to sb.

Although I’m glad to see Desean in Kelly Green. We have to keep him at least one more year. Maclin needs to stay healthy for his prove it year. If not deseans been durable and consistant with productive years. Now just groom one of them talked about WR in this years draft.

You know the front office kept leaking them trade rumors to try and move up in the draft or add picks. I think we keep Desean another year and groom a cooks or Benjamin. Now that will look like a nice WR core. Shady and sproles in the backfield, two beast at TE. Not to mention a cool in the pocket Nick Foles. O line is Beast!

We need a Defence! We need to get back to talking Safties in the draft. Still want Pryor!

Desean compared to Dez. Its amazing how Djax is the bad guy lmao.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Before the start of the 2012 season, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant agreed to a strict set of conduct rules. They were set up by Bryant and his adviser David Wells in consultation with team officials.

Two years in, Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said the rules should remain in place.

“He doesn’t need to drop his guard,” Jones said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings. “In some respect, none of us do.”

Jones’ comments brought about laughter during his chat with beat writers.

Bryant must adhere the following guidelines: •A midnight curfew. If he’s going to miss curfew, team officials must know in advance.
•No alcohol.
•He can’t attend strip clubs and can attend nightclubs only if they are approved by the team and he has a security team with him.
•He must attend counseling sessions twice a week.
•A rotating three-man security team will leave one man with Bryant at all times.
•Members of the security team will drive Bryant to practices, games and team functions.

If Bryant breaks any of the rules, he must have a legitimate excuse. If so, team officials are in contact with him quickly.

The rules stem from a difficult 2012 offseason in which Bryant was charged with allegedly assaulting his mother, Angela Bryant. The receiver was charged with a Class A misdemeanor by the DeSoto, Texas, police department.

The Dallas County district attorney’s office dropped the charges against Bryant and made two stipulations: Bryant must agree to counseling sessions, and he must stay out of trouble for one year. That was accomplished.

The only controversy Bryant seems to find these days is on the field, but team officials cite his PASSIONATE NATURE. . Bryant got into a nasty spat with tight end Jason Witten during a loss to the Detroit Lions last season and left the field before another loss with the Green Bay Packers was over.

Bryant said he made mistakes in both instances and apologized to Witten and his teammates.

“But as far as his ability to help us win as a player, he is an established player,” Jones said.

LOL its passion for Dez but for DJax its a problem.

Heres a article from Reuben Frank on CSNPhilly. It all makes sense now. This has always been about money owed to Djax. McCoy better have a big year this year to.

Whether or not DeSean Jackson returns to the Eagles, one thing is certain.

The Eagles are going to have to make several difficult and most likely unpopular decisions in the next year to get under the 2015 salary cap.

Forget this year for a minute.

The Eagles are already in cap trouble next year.

The good news is that the cap is expected to increase by $7 million to $10 million next year, thanks to revenue from the new TV deal.

Although the actual figure won’t be announced until next winter, people who track this stuff believe the unadjusted cap will increase from $133 million in 2014 to about $142 million in 2015.

The Eagles currently have 51 players under contract in 2015, and their combined cap figure is $144,766,514.

Several members of that 2012 draft class will be eligible for contract extensions after the season, and there is no way the Eagles would risk losing Nick Foles, Brandon Boykin, Mychal Kendricks and Fletcher Cox through free agency after the 2015 season, so re-signing those four after 2014 will be imperative for the Eagles next winter.

Foles, if he comes anywhere close to his 2013 performance, will demand a massive contract. Boykin, if he repeats his six-interception breakout 2013 season, will also be due a commanding deal. Cox and Kendricks are fundamental building blocks of the Eagles’ young defense, and they will be due sizable, long-term, multi-million dollar deals as well.

So you see the predicament the Eagles are in. They’re already over the projected cap figure, they still have to re-sign at least four key players, and they’ll certainly need money available to go after some free agents a year from now and sign their 2015 draft picks.

Something has to give.

A look at the Eagles’ 2015 contracts shows that 13 players make up nearly half of that $144.77 million figure.

Those 13 players have a combined 2015 cap hit of $68,025,140, or 47 percent of the Eagles’ current 2015 total cap figure.

They are:

• $10.25 million … LeSean McCoy
• $10.025 million … Trent Cole
• $10 million … DeSean Jackson
• $7.55 million … Jason Peters
• $6.9 million … DeMeco Ryans
• $6.5 million … Cary Williams
• $5.5 million … Connor Barwin
• $4.8 million … Brent Celek
• $4 million … James Casey
• $4 million … Riley Cooper
• $4 million … Todd Herremans
• $4 million … Malcolm Jenkins

Safe to say that anybody on that list, other than McCoy and Peters, could become a cap casualty after this upcoming season.

The Eagles still have plenty of room under the 2014 cap, and they’ll probably carry over $10 million to $12 million in unused cap space to 2015, which would increase their adjusted cap figure to somewhere in the $155 million range.

But they’ll still have some decisions to make about the veterans listed above to get under the cap.

No team in the NFL currently has the 2015 salary cap commitments the Eagles do. In fact, no team is within $10 million of the Eagles.

Here are the top five current 2015 cap responsibilities in the NFL:

• $144,766,514 … Eagles
• $131,941,818 … Cardinals
• $129,786,728 … Dolphins
• $125,454,961 … Chiefs
• $123,585,579 … Saints

Any player the Eagles release or trade after the 2014 season would give the Eagles dead money in the cap if he got a signing bonus that is still being pro-rated. To determine the amount of dead money, you simply add the remaining pro-rated amounts. The longer the player is still under contract and the larger his initial signing bonus, the higher that number will be.

How much dead money would the Eagles incur releasing some of their higher-priced veterans after the upcoming season? Remember, the cap savings is a player’s projected cap number minus dead money:

• $4 million … DeSean Jackson
• $3.2 million … Riley Cooper
• $2.6125 million … DeMeco Ryans
• $2 million … Evan Mathis
• $1.8 million … Connor Barwin
• $1.7075 million … Brandon Graham
• $1.666668 million … Cary Williams
• $1.6 million … Trent Cole
• $2.4 million … Todd Herremans
• $0 … Brent Celek
• $0 … James Casey

So you see whose jobs are in jeopardy. But it’s always risky unloading a player with a high cap figure because now you have to replace him.

If the Eagles cut ties with, say, Trent Cole, DeMeco Ryans, Cary Williams, Brent Celek, Todd Herremans and James Casey in January, they would have a net gain of $37,970,832 in cap space, which is a lot.

But that raises a whole new set of challenges.

Casey didn’t contribute last year, but Cole has been the Eagles’ best pass rusher for the past decade, Ryans was the Eagles’ defensive MVP a year ago, Williams is one of the team’s emotional leaders and a physical corner, Celek has been one of the NFC’s most consistent receiving tight ends since 2007, and Herremans has been a steady starter since late in 2005.

Which leads us to why it’s so critical that the Eagles put together a third consecutive outstanding draft.

It’s easy to get rid of expensive players. It’s a lot harder to replace them with younger, cheaper versions who are just as talented

Dag, some of his numbers are wrong. Some of those numbers are for the season after 2015. I can guarantee, that Casey, Celek, Cole, Graham, Ryans, Herremans, Fletcher, & DJax are on their final year. Graham, Curry, & Brown will be traded at, or just before draft time, so to make a long story short we will have plenty of $$$ after this next season, & by then, will have 2 drafts in fold. So we will have plenty of lettuce to re-up Foles, Kendricks, Cox, Thornton, if they are warranted. And will have plenty of $$$ to replace the cuts. The 2015 Salary cap will be $140M+

Below is the dead $$$…. Cap $$$ after 2014 season.

DeSean Jackson- $4M… $10 million

DeMeco Ryans- $0… $6.9M.
Evan Mathis- $2M… $6.5M.
Connor Barwin- $1.8M… $5.5M.
Brandon Graham- $1.7075M… $3,207,5M.
Cary Williams- $1.666668M… $6.5M.
Trent Cole- $3.2M… $11,625M.
Todd Herremans- $2.4M …$4M.
Brent Celek- $0 … $4.8M.
James Casey- $0 … $4M.
Bradley Fletcher is off the books, after 2015.
So this BS fallacy story, that after the 2014 season, the Birds will be strapped for $$$ is both BS generated by the front office, & is sopped up by the retarded media. So, other than Barwin, & Mathis, none of those contracts are considered irreplaceable. All can be released after the year, & we will have ZERO problem having $$$$ Don’t be misled by the BS media mouth pieces, crying for the front office! Do some research on your own, & be enlightened. Even Ruben the boob Frank wrote a story on it. He got some numbers wrong, but wrote it nonetheless.

Bandwagon Fan
Anyone who claims they are a “fan” of a particular sports team, even though they had no prior support for/interest in the team until that team started winning. These types of fans only show playoff interest, have probably never watched a regular season game, don’t own any type of team merchandise, nor would they buy any.
That ain’t me, my man! I don’t jump on any winning team. I root for all 4 of my teams. If I want to criticize them, I’m going to criticize them.

This sounds more like the old Banner days….not good.

We get good press and high marks for signing our own players longterm….then the player does well and expects to have a new contract. I can see how Howie may be frustrated, but you cannot have a knee-jerk reaction to trade a player everytime they express a desire for a new contract.

Mathis was a journeyman and finnally found success in Philly. We locked him up to a 5 year contract in 2011 ($25million I think), but now he has improved to be an All-Pro, but yet is not being paid within the top 10 players at his position. I can see his point, but I am sure that when he signed the deal in 2011 he was looking for security and pretty happy with the deal. The fact that the contracts are not guaranteed is where everything differs with other sports.

While I can see a frustration on the part of the team, you cannot keep putting players on the trading block because of contractual differences. This stinks.

Dag and Dcar are now understanding how the Eagles draft will look.

The trouble spots are clear going forward 2015 and beyond –
DE – Cox, Thornton ( FA will steal one of these from Birds)
WR – DJax, Maclin, Cooper ( everyone sees the neon sign who won’t be here)
MLB – only one will get the money ( my guess is Kendricks not Ryans)
CB – corners are always needed every draft
OL – age

So everybody that wants a raise should get just cause they made the pro bowl Mathis is 33 which means his football maybe has 3years left in the game and if they can get younger there then it might be for the better. Plus Todd Herreamans is better on the left side than he is on the right anyway.

Evan Mathis is a 33 year old guard that fits a system perfectly. Should his contract be addressed. Put together another year at his level and yes, next year will be a big year to address building blocks moving foward. Is locking up a 33 y.o guard a priority over possibly locking up some of the young talent on this team….NO. They took care of Kelce Peters and drafted OT no.1 last year. If he wants to make more money than I have no problem if he is a casualty to get better somewhere else next year.
No different then DJAX. Great talent…playmaker….but at 10 million and fresh off a 2 year contract short term may hurt but long term may improve.

The morons on this site think every team in the league redo contracts and dont try and move players.

Darrelle Revis has played for 3 teams in 3 years…..1st or 2nd CB in the game.

Larry Fitzgerald has been on terrible teams and quietly redone his contract twice.

But yeah…Rosemans an idiot…the Eagles are cheap….blah blah blah blah blah….

I hate to say this, but we have seen this all before.

When a coach and front office believe that it is their “system” that is at the root of all of the teams success, players become like pieces on a chess board. Reid had operated the same way, which is why for years we had shitty players at the WR and LB positions.

When you believe that it is your system that matters, you will trade All-Pro and Pro-Bowl players instead of negotiate…or worse cut them….because it is not the player that matters but rather YOUR SYSTEM. Remember, Reid was able to win with AJ Feely and Dytmer…..it was the system and all players are expendable. No one is special.

I hope that I am wrong, but there is no question that Kelly has an ego regarding his way of running a team and an offense. Roseman love the statagey because he can never lose a negotiation if he is willing to walk away from ANYONE.

I really hope that I am wrong.

From my point of view you need to have a very good system and an equally good distribution of talented players. Like it or not, some players are that “special” that they deserve some special pay or treatment. I am not a fan of constantly renegotating contracts, but I am also not with the managment style that cuts or trades every player that asks about a raise.

You can win in the regular season, in a weak division with that attitude. It starts to fall apart in the playoffs though.

And if our division mates start racking up the talent…well…

Agreed. This slop in the NFC East has us believing that we are better than we actually are…and then we hit the playoffs and are exposed.

I really hope that we are wrong and that Kelly is different. Maybe he will have this team so high powered that we will blow the doors off of the rest of the NFC, but thinking that you can just trade away your best players and it not adversely effect your performance is pretty crazy.

The bottom line is that they…and really any team…will spin every move made as a positive development for the team, but the real truth will not be seen until they are underfire in the regular season.

Again with the hypocrisy. Not one fan can honestly say they saw a division title with Foles as QB as even a remote option before the season. Same fools on here were yelling….his offense doesn’t translate it wont work blah blah blah. Not its a million different excuses. Pick a side and stick with it. You dont like Kelly don’t think he will work fine. Don’t flip flop.

Homer goggles. Why because you will stay negative until your point makes sense. Like how Alex Smith was better then Nick Foles and a better fit and Mike Vick etc etc.
So you can eventually have the tide turn your way and say “I told you so”

FLIP FLOP. The shoe definitely fits with you.

First day with the new computer?

What hypocrisy? It is called an opinion, and it can be adjusted based on circumstance, results and review. I am basing my comments on how I see this off-season progressing and review of last seasons results.

You’re entitled to your opinion and vice versa. However when you so easily brush off an entire season with basically being “the best by default” it is hypocritical. Did you see Chip Kelly being successful his first year? Probably not. Did you see Nic Foles as a viable option at QB? Probably not? Did you see Division winner? Probably not….the way I am reading your point was that they lucked into a few wins. If I am wrong set me straight.

The sentiment that I do agree with and outside of one or two other people have not seen is that EVERY team SPINS what they can to their advantage. The Pats spun getting rid of Welker. Jets/Bucs Revis…49ers Goldson/Whitner etc etc.

Homerism is a disease…

You cant’ cure it. The Gm could piss on them and tell them it’s raining and when you point out it’s piss they will say “No it’s not you’re just being hypocritical and a flip flopper”

lol

You’re not.

That’s EXACTLY what is going on. He basically said as much:

“I don’t think our offense is predicated on one player”

They beleive they can plug and play. We will see.

Chip Kelly coaches and makes suggestions –
Howie Roseman controls the roster and the salary cap –
Jeff Lurie has final say

2 days ago Jon Hart stated that Mark Sanchez was an eagle pending a physical according to his “source”. Well Jon did he pass the physical? fail it? did he take it yet? if not when is it scheduled? or did you just copy and post the story from the internet and call it your source?

Roseman is a miser and Gettleman and this and that…..a journeyman lineman fall into a perfect place was given a 25mil contract 2 years later its the GM fault now.

Seriously moronic statements over and over again. Get a clue.
