On the last 2 days injury reports there are at least 15 players who have or are dealing with an ongoing hamstring issue. That's why you need back up players...

Understandable....the problem is Jackson is earning $8-9 million this season....money is beneficial for DeSean but not the team...a team wants to spend loaded cash on a player that's playing not on a player who is perpetually inactive.

And how much did the Patriots spend for Brady the year he was out? or How much did Pittsburgh spend when Big Ben was suspended? You make the contracts, and players play, but when they have a legitimate injury, then that just sucks, nothing more nothing less. The Ravens have 9 million dead money for Ray Rice. 7.5million for Haloti Ngata, who is currently playing on a different team.

If DJax didn't give it everything when he was on the field I understand. If he was a Malcolm Kelly who let every injury linger, I get it. But Djax goes out burns his body when he's on the field.

He had one season 2012, where he missed 5 games. He typically misses 1 or two, having played all 16 in only 2 of his seasons as a pro. I think he ought to get some benefit of the doubt that something is specifically wrong even if the team isn't being forthcoming on what it is...

doesn't make him a bum.

No, he isn't a bum by any stretch of the imagination. DeSean is still young and can still produce at a very high level. Brady and Rothlisberger are franchise quarterbacks. A wise and talented GM like McCloughan looks at every little thing. I'm willing to bet he has already imagined what the WR corp can be without Jackson. To partner with Garcon and Crowder, McCloughan could inject a Richard Sherman type or explosive receiving weapon like Lee Evans....injuries are apart of the NFL...it was suggested above that the Redskins could move on from Jackson... and it would be for the reasons I stated...

And that's fine, in the offseason, the decision time will come, and if they move on it's fine, but you referenced what the Skins are paying him. That's a sunk cost. He could just as easily have had his 6th 15+ game season and been a game changer who we stole.
