Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday

I would pass on desean, unless the money was skins friendly (which I doubt)

his addition would be a luxury, not a need.

im not so much worried about the off field stuff as i am with allocating too much money on receiver. even if his cap hit was 5-6 this year, id guess his average salary would be end up near 10 mil per. we have rg3, trent, rak, kerrigan to re-sign in the next few years.

Luxury? Who's this elite deep threat that you speak of that's currently on the Redskins roster? Desean is an Elite deep threat WR.... a game changing type of "play-maker" that we haven't had since Moss was in his prime. The Superbowl as you know goes through Seattle or either San Francisco, and we need every weapon we can get in order to become a Superbowl contender.

Also need a defense like Seattle or San Fran.

Denver had plenty of weapons and one of the best QB's to ever play going against Seattle...

While we do have to resign Trent, his salary is already high. This year his cap number is 11 mil and next year, its over 14 mil. We already have the cap space available to resign Trent built into his current cap numbers. In fact, we could resign Trent today, and have lower cap numbers this year and next. Orakpo is very similar with this year only, he is already counting over 11 mil. Its the other 2 that needs to be worried about.

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday

Was it last year or the year before that DJ wouldnt speak with his oc? I forget...I do remember they had to have another player speak to the coach for him because he wouldnt.
To play devils advocate to my not wanting him...he is a legitimate threat, and in addition it would be nice to have the inside track on chip Kelly's offense. I like what he does on the field (when he wants to, but he can honestly act like one of those kids on my super sweet 16 party, or whatever). And im not saying anything about the gang talk..because, honestly, I could care less about that.
Regardless, though...if we do sign him..ill be hoping/rooting for triple digit yardage game in and game out from him, because my love for the skins trumps my dislike for DJ by light years.
HAIL!

You never can predict how things fall out, but on paper it seems that both Gruden and Sean McVay are players coaches that seem to get along with the players... May work better, or may not..

I hope so. My motto is hope for sunshine, but bring an umbrella....even though I dont even own an umbrella..which is a metaphor wrapped in an enigma.
