Desean Jackson?

He'll end up in Carolina. Hunch

They'd have to either restructure his deal (if he was willing to he would have with the eagles), or make some kind of incredible deal with Hardy so he's making chump change the first couple years.



EDIT: Pats could've pulled it if they hadn't just signed edelman, if they actually let wilfork go like he's asked they could still do it.... scary thought

If traded, his cap numbers the next three seasons are $10.5m, $9.75m, and $9.75m. Seahawks definitely can't fit that, and not many other contenders can either.

If it's just a 3rd round pick they're after, Oakland should do it. They need all the talent they can get and the cap means nothing to them right now.

Except, the reason the Eagles are thinking about trading him is because DeSean wants MORE money! He doesn't like his current contract.

No Thank You.

I hope the hunch is right and it does make sense, apparently Cam and DeSean were like two peas in a pod at the Pro Bowl. But the last post is not wrong-it would require some financial wizardry, likely with Hardy. It's impossible to believe a man that's been a part of 8 Super Bowl teams and three winners like Dave Gettleman completely lost his mind, so conventional wisdom says he "must" have an ace up his sleeve, but only he and he alone knows what. I would not bet on it being DeSean Jackson.

Don't want. He spewed a bunch of BS when he switched from USC to Cal claiming that Pete and Kiffin had lied to him. He's also got a rep of being a me-first guy (USC fans actually refer to him as "Mesean" as a result).

Besides that, we already have Percy and have a lot of money tied up into him.

Report: Eagles could release DeSean Jackson
Posted by Mike Wilkening on March 22, 2014, 1:37 PM EDT

APAmid increasing sentiment that the Eagles are determined to move on without DeSean Jackson comes a report the club would even consider releasing him if needed.

In a story published Saturday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News quoted an unnamed source as saying that the Eagles are “trading him or cutting [Jackson]. That’s a fact. They don’t want him.”

The 27-year-old Jackson caught 82 passes for 1,332 passes and nine TDs in 2013 and earned a trip to the Pro Bowl. However, there has been no shortage of speculation that his time in Philadelphia is nearing a close.

Perhaps with that in mind, Jackson, as CrossingBroad.com pointed out, took to Instagram on Friday to post several videos of highlights with new Jets quarterback Michael Vick. Jackson also posted a picture of then-USC coach Pete Carroll on a recruiting visit. Carroll, of course, is now the coach of the Seahawks. Jackson also shared a photo of Panthers quarterback Cam Newton from the Pro Bowl, and he also posted a picture with Raiders fullback Marcel Reece.

He wants a new contract, but not necessarily more money - the rest of his contract is non-guaranteed
and as everyone on this board seems to suggest "the guaranteed number is the real contract", so essentially the Eagles are not paying him anything (that is the logic a lot of people seem to follow here, that because the later years of a contract aren't guaranteed, a player will just get cut).
