True. I guess that's one positive way to look at it. I've just never seen negotiations for a player last this long. But I'm usually never following the off-season anyway, so maybe they do.

If we don't sign him or he signs and pulls a Fat Albert, I'm going to be more upset about the fact that I created a twitter account just for today.

It takes a while to restructure Trent's deal and write up a $52 million dollar contract with morals clauses.

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

Chiefs and 49'ers have about 4.5 mill in salary cap space, no way they could write a better deal then the Skins, the Browns are the Browns, ditto for the Bills. This oughta be done soon (I hope)

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

I was just listening to Chris Russell and he thinks the deal gets done late tonight or early tomorrow.

I know, I don't think they are as serious as their fans are (my gut feeling), if he was in LA and they wanted him, they wouldn't have let him walk in the Redskins door.

edit: I also don't know that they have the pull for Djax, instead playing against Kelly 2x's, he would be playing against Reid, and I think he likes Reid. I doubt that factors very much at all, but it's just one more reason I like to use to find a happy place :)

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

On one hand all the reports seem to indicate the Redskins are the overwhelming favorite. However I remember the last time we thought we had a prominent mid-free agency player in the bag (though he wasn't a free agent at the time) in Jay Cutler before the Bears came in and swept him out from under us. Then again thanks to that we were able to get RG3 three short years later.

He doesn't need a morals clause because he's never been in that kind of trouble. Instead he needs these two clauses:

1) No constant whining for a raise and pouting like a child when you don't get it clause
and
2) He must study with a coach who will teach him a new word: T-E-A-M.

Read the picture in the Instagram photo. I think it is actually a little telling than looking at it as a guy turning down a low offer .

Certainly normal and appropriate workplace conduct. I don't get why anyone would be offended by that. It's like come on can't you take a simple joke, gosh stop being so butthurt.

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

[quote=Lotus;1066709]Sorry, I guess I've been doing that a lot. :([/quote]

it's all good! :D

At this point I think it's fair to say that the Redskins and Desean want to work it out, but the Skins aren't going to just write a blank check future ending contract. I think that's a good thing, and if he signs, or if he doesn't sign, the Skins FO looks like they did things differently then in the past.

As I look into my crystal ball, I could see heavy use of not likely to be earned bonus money. The advantage there is it's a delayed cap hit, AND, if Djax is playing lights out, he gets the paydays he wants. But, and this may be why it takes so long, everyone has to be on the same page of what the end goal is.

I think the Skins are looking at it from your point of view, man we don't want to be reliving this contract situation every year, and so they are trying to structure it to give some cushion against that.

But they also want him here.

Meantime, we sit and wait and refresh, hoping that our team does the right thing the right way.

Probably wants to sleep on it.

I don't think that is a good thing, mainly because of what Lotus keeps saying. If he has to sleep on it now, then next year he won't be happy.

I am not saying we need to blow him away, but it needs to be structured to give him a way to know he will be happy.

I'm guessing part of it is he doesn't want to risk being in the same spot a couple years from now. From what I understand his contract with the Eagles made the cap implications of releasing him virtually non-existent. As a result they were able to let him go at the drop of a hat.

A more generous signing bonus and years as has been suggested would require any team signing him to jump through more hoops should they have a change in heart.
