A more generous signing bonus and years as has been suggested would require any team signing him to jump through more hoops should they have a change in heart.

No Dirt, not true. The cost of releasing Jackson was a $6 mil. dead cap hit. See here or here.

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.
