You should hear the butt hurt from the raiders out here.

Now the Eagles will be on the opposite side of plays like this:

Ironically we think of Barry Sanders as the quintessential 'been there before' guy but you know a guy has experience making big plays when he's confident enough to look back like that during a large gain. I'd imagine most guys that have never scored a TD in their life would be running like their life depended on it. Though personally I would prefer if the theatrics were kept to a minimum.

Please accept this apology on behalf of Redskin nation. You endured our hatred for the past couple years now knowing that in truth you were laying the groundwork for the type of blockbuster move that actually has half a chance of working. It was incredibly selfless and extremely honorable. Thank you Mr. Mara, we never should have doubted you.

I'd also like to thank the Browns for another hard fought offseason bidding war. You guys are truly worthy offseason rivals.

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

Way to go BA for getting this done. DJax welcome to the skins!! For those who don't agree with this deal, GET OVER IT. Now let's have a strong draft and let's do this! HTTR

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

6 words I never thought I'd say in my lifetime: Welcome to the Redskins DeSean Jackson. I love the fact that it's only a 3 year deal, it means it will be easy to get rid of him if necessary. Heard it's a huge contract though, so I'm gonna say 3 years/39 mil/15 mil signing bonus. I'm beginning to warm up to this deal, but I'm still wary of the fact at this time next year he might be whining about his deal.

He might be whining or might not. I guess we are going to find out but we had to take a chance on him. Our offense should be really fun to watch this year. Defense needs to step up now.

Still want to see the numbers, 3yr 28mill 12 guaranteed would be a good ballpark. Can't be higher on the guarantee, but the total probably will be inflated past 30mill with a lot of escalators in year 3.[/quote]

You're pretty much right on target. Up the guarantee a bit

DeSean Jackson's 3-yr deal with the Redskins is worth $24 million, including $16 million guaranteed, per @DarrenHeitner.

A little worried about that guaranteed money, but 8 mil per is less than some people were predicting.

Interesting stat by Shefter.

"No player in NFL history has switched teams within same division after he had at least 80 catches, 1,200+ receiving yds in previous season."

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

So we pluck two top divisional FA. Not a bad off-season.

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

We are now sitting very nicely at the WR position.
This is going to make our draft so much easier and better.
Draft OL and safety please!

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

Really like those numbers. Probably backended a little to give some flex this year but we aren't over a barrel. Legit deal both ways.

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

Does this mean we're [I]not[/I] signing Eddie Royal?......

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

Skins rolled the dice. He fills two needs. Hopefully the coaches can manage Jackson's issues when he catches 3 balls. Good job Bruce Allen. Skins are having a solid off season.

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

Starting to realize that smaller receivers are just as much a staple of Redskins culture as "The Hogs." Heck at this rate Pierre Garcon at 6'0 might be considered a giant by Redskin standards. The great Art Monk of course not withstanding.

It's also kind of funny that this is the second time we've gotten a mulligan on a smallish receiver we passed over on on draft day in favor of a 'taller' possession type. Go back to 2001 when the Redskins drafted Rod Gardner 15th overall, only to see Santana Moss go one pick later to the Jets at 16 overall.

Then of course the fabled 2008 draft where we passed over Desean twice in favor of drafting Devin Thomas at 34 and Fred Davis at 48. Desean then went one pick later to the Eagles at 49th overall.

If this isn't fate I don't know what is.
2001:

One more thing I noticed. Jets and Eagles both have green as their primary colors.

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

[quote=FRPLG;1066842]His 80 has to be adjusted for what he does for others. Safeties lining up 20 yards deep consistently creates a lot of opportunity for everyone else.

At some point in our first game were going to line up garçon, Jackson, Roberts and reed on second and short and the secondary is simply going to retreat to the end zone.[/quote]This pulls the safeties out of the box. Alf is a near shoe-in for 1,600 yards.

So was BA bullied into making this deal?

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

Great move, I like what we have done in FA prior to DJax. Now this doesn't make me feel anything but better about our team. 3/24 15 mil guaranteed? Great deal for both parties. I am somewhat shocked. Think we got a decent deal ;)

Not a bad contract. Bruce doing another marvelous job.

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

Riley Cooper: 5 yr 25mil
Eric Decker 5 yr 36 mil
Golden Tate 5 yr 31 mil

Golden Tate got the Paul Kruger deal this year, one that Detriot will regret for years, he's a terrible player, a #2, borderline #3.

Riley Cooper is a clear #2 and got 25 mil, possession guy. A guy who is not a game changer, but can make some unbelievable 8 yard receptions.

Eric Decker flat robbed the bank. He ends up in a spot where he has to be the man and gets no help. The Jets front office is a joke, this is the worst of all the contracts. He's a borderline #2, more like a #3.


Folks we get a game changer for 3 years at 24 million. 24 million. A #1 WR, the biggest deep threat receiver in the game today. Wow

Once again the Redskins taking over sports media the first week of baseball, Bud Selig must effing hate us.

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

Pretty reasonable contract, but still don't like the overall amount we spend on the WR position. But then I remind myself that we have cheap RBs and TEs who are capable of producing at a high level. So, we overpay for WRs and underpay for RBs and TEs. Evens out I guess.

I was actually going to try to argue this saying that Golden Tate should put up big numbers on the other side of Megatron, but I just looked at their stats and not since 2011 has anyone on the Lions offense gone for more than 750 receiving yards in a season and that was by Brandon Pettigrew, a TE. That said, look at the relative talent and durability of the guys who are lining up across from Megatron and you have to conclude that Golden Tate is the best #2 receiver they've had; better than Burleson who was putting up solid numbers last season before he had to keep his pizza from sliding off the passenger seat.

I'm not sure that Golden Tate changes their offense in any significant way, but I think it's a solid signing for them. However, at $1.8 million more per year, I'd much rather have DeSean Jackson
