Yet they are not interested.

We have about 4 million more than the chiefs, which is significant when it probably is a 6million cap hit to land him.

#Chiefs & Andy Reid were intrigued by DeSean Jackson, but with limited cap space, can’t match the budding open market. Would’ve loved DeSean

Just wanted to put this out there.

Fair enough. Good to know.

IMO RGIII should say to D. Jacks look I'm being labeled a coach killer and there giving you the same label come to the SKINS and lets both shut everyone up.

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.

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.

I don't like how DJ is being labeled a cancer. I mean the guy is good and he knows it. His arrogant attitude has been earned. We're not talking about Fat Al. He's not dividing locker rooms or punching out his teammates. Whoever ends up with DJ and his salary, it's not like the guy hasn't earned it. As long as the guy doesn't shoot anyone or do illegal drugs, I'm cool with him.

Not everyone on the team is going to keep their nose clean. You know by today's standards people would characterize Riggo has having "character issues".

I don't buy the "gang ties" stuff, so I am not knocking DJax for that or for anything criminal.

But I would not describe Riggo like DJax because Riggo, by many accounts, was a great teammate. DJax, going back years, appears to have little concept of the idea of a team. Reversing the usual, his motto appears to be, "There is no "team" in "I." Heck, at Cal he didn't even know his teammates' names.

Obviously most folks here differ. His talent and numbers are quite attractive. But he's not the kind of guy who I would want in my locker room.

I can respect that. But who knows. I can't speak for his college days, but I doubt there were many high quality personalities in Philly. It is Philly after all. He's still young, maybe he can make a change for the better in DC.
