I think it’s a good development for DeSean Jackson and for the Eagles that Jackson decided to sign a 5-year contract extension, so that he can get his mind off of contracts and finances and focused on football.  He now has some security which will probably allow him to be more productive in 2012. It wasn’t [...]

Finally, DeSean Jackson got the long term deal he’s been looking for three-years.  The Eagles gave him a five year deal worth about $51 million dollars and $18 million dollars of it is guaranteed.  It’s got to be a major relief for Jackson, which will hopefully help him turn in a big year in 2012. He [...]
