It would definitely open up options with our picks.

You have to look at cap implications when comparing a draft pick to a veteran.

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

It would also take WR off the board for the next couple of years in the early rounds anyway.

This is driving me nuts. WHO IS THE OTHER PERSON IN THE PICTURE?>??F??D?!!#@*($#&#@$983724903@

Edit: Never mind I found out it's former Baylor CB Ike Williams. However now I need to know WHY is fighting Ike Williams for Desean Jackson. Crap my nose is bleeding again.

John Keim tweet:
And, yes, I do think this is where I think desean wants to be. But the deal has to be right.

By the way Lotus, I get that John Keim's tweet is exactly your fear for the future.

Interesting...

John Keim ‏@john_keim 7m
One thing I've seen in past with Jackson's agent Joel Segal is he doesn't like to send his wr's to bad qb teams if possible. Bad 4 biz

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

Just a thought, if Danny (or God forbid Vinnie) we're running this show, a deal would have been in place even before DeSean was released. And we know for certain that it would have been an awful deal for the Redskins. There were so many...

So this whole process is something new. It certainly seems that Danny is not driving the Bus anymore, else a deal would be in place. Seems to me that Bruce Allen's coming out party continues, and I, for one, like it. As long as he listens to the right personnel guys, and I think he is. I like the direction, whether we sign dJax or not, it bodes for better times ahead for the Redskins.

If Vinny was in charge, we would have given D. Ware and Jared Allen ridiculous contracts, maybe would have outbid everyone for J. Byrd (although maybe they would have never gone after a player we actually need), and given Philly multiple picks for D. Jax.

This is why I don't get the people that say "it's just like before" about this situation.

Add Dale Jr. to the D. Jax recruiting movement:

The hottie that broke the initial news has tweeted...

Dianna Marie Russini ‏@NBCdianna 2m
Per sources close to DeSean Jackson and the Redskins...they have agreed to terms. #Redskins

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

Per NBCDianna from NBC in DC, its official, Jackson is a Redskin.

Or its her last gasp at an April fools joke

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

Regarding the earlier tweet about D. Jax having dinner with a "crew":

Kevin ‏@HTTR24_7 17m
The "crew" with Desean was his agent J.Segal & B.Allen.. FWIW

Adam Schefter tweeting it now too.

Mods close this thread. The (former) eagle has landed

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

Well, it's a done deal. Offense should be very pleasant to watch next year. If our defense and special teams remotely show up, it could be competitive.

I cant sleep now. Waiting for week one.

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

Nice! Our offense is going to be a whole lot of fun to watch!

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

[quote=Lotus;1066769]No Dirt, not true. The cost of releasing Jackson was a $6 mil. dead cap hit. See [URL="http://nfl.si.com/2014/03/28/desean-jackson-released-philadelphia-eagles/"]here [/URL]or [URL="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/28/eagles-will-carry-6-million-on-2014-cap-for-desean-jackson/"]here[/URL].

This is one reason why I have beaten the drum against DJax. Philly wanted him gone so bad, they were willing to absorb immediately a dead cap hit of $6 mil.

Besides, in two years a DJax deadcap hit of $6 mil. could be ours, too, if we sign him.[/quote]

If thats the case you have to wonder how the guys in the Philly locker room feel. Riley Cooper stays on the team after an awful public incident that was caught on film for the world to see while Jackson gets unceremoniously released due to alleged gang ties.

Regardless the Eagles front office methods don't concern me. Only actions that made way for us to sign an elite player in their prime on the open market. Maybe it will end up being too good to be true but as stated before I'm more then fine with that risk.
