Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson

Question 1: Did someone say Cousins is a Cancer?
Question 2: Was he born in July?
Question 3: What question are we questioning?

This is what I am thinking. If it wasn't "Chip Kelly" and the Eagles, this move would be looked at much more as a dysfunctional FO move. Thing is Andy Reid and his FO is gone and now we are seeing Kelly put his stamp on things. Jackson's release shouldn't be looked at in a vacuum or like is the old stable Eagles FO.

I didn't see this posted anywhere. I'd be curious to see what the NFLPA finds:

As was brought up before , the last couple of receivers this happen to from Philly were Chris Carter and T.O. work out well for the other teams.

I don't know if anyone saw this, but Trent Williams said he sent Jackson a text asking if the Skins were in the mix.

I imagine other players from other teams did too, but it sure seems the Skins as a whole put a press on to bring him in. I would think players know what other players are like, especially if they are really bad eggs, and the fact that our offense basically lobbied him to come here says something.

So I guess some people are getting all bent over DJ posting vacation pics on Twitter while the team is working out. Is this really a big deal? He had a pre-planned vacation and was properly excused from "voluntary" workouts, so I guess according to some people the guy needs to go into hiding.

That is exactly what to expect. As unreasonable and stupid as it is.

Another prime example of our culture needing to chill the f out. Jackson taking a vacation now will have ZERO impact on how he plays in the fall, and ZERO impact on our locker room. That's all that should matter.

I'm with you. Although I've been as critical of DJax as anyone here, there is nothing wrong with taking a pre-planned vacay.

I can't imagine anyone in that locker room really giving 2 shits about this. Yet this morning Ross Tucker is on the radio blasting him.

It's annoying isn't it? Like Schlereth last night on Twitter trolling RG3's logo by posting his Super Bowl ring as his 'logo'. Complete dick move, one has nothing to do with the other. Just like Shawn Merriman last week on NFL AM saying IN THE SAME HOUR that he loved the Jackson signing for all that it brings to the team and then later saying he wasn't for it because of whatever baggage he brings with him.

I'm like a moth to the flame for Redskins news/discussion but it gets really tiresome with everything being tainted with negativity for the sake of flapping gums.

Yeah meanwhile Stink is always promoting his salsa, dude's a hypocrite

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

We are the Redskins, we have a huge fan base. Writers need click throughs, radio hosts need talking points and TV needs ratings. Blasting the new FA aquisition at Redskins Park is an easy way to accomplish that. No need to waste my time worrying about a vacation that was known about before he signed the deal and he was excused from the first week of OTAs when he signed a week ago.

Can't wait to see him on the field for camp and games in the fall.

[SmootSmack]

Don't get me started on Schlereth. Extremely arrogant, Rarely considers opinions that are not his own. And he doesn't pass the ball on the basketball court
