You are correct and I did not mean to imply that he *only* wants to get paid. He deserves credit for the fact that he got paid in Philly and still produced.

Point is, it's dramatically different than the $100 million dollar / $40 million guaranteed Haynesworth deals. That was a big payday for Haynesworth - but DJax's deal is less than he was making.

I have no probs w him taking preplanned vacation. He'll be here soon enough.
Indeed jesus christ.

A millionaire sportsman having a vacation in the offseason the guy signed on for less money than any of us could have hoped for and now will have a major hard on to prove our division not just the Eagles were majorly wrong.

*wise up*

Come on, the guy is Human. He just took a huge blow to his ego and overall state of mind by being rejected and dismissed from the team he played extremely hard for. The guy needs some time to get away and decompress. It's April, who cares.

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson

Most of us wouldn't even get paid time off if we took vacation in our first week of employment. Besides the $, we wouldn't do it b/c of the precedent it sets with a new employer. But the NFL is not the real world. Players in the NFL need to produce 60 minutes for 16 (min) Sundays. Obviously that's an oversimplification but if DJax helps win games, I don't care what he does outside of Sunday.

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson

One of the most frequent justifications that releasing DJax was the correct move that I saw from Eagle fans was that no one on the team spoke up for Jackson. It'll be interesting too see what the reaction is from here

Not a good sign regardless. I can certainly sympathize with the man but unless you've been royally screwed you do not go public with these types of grievances. And when I say royally screwed I mean Reggie Ray screwed.

Imo RG-3 will be happy winning. Garcon n DJax compliment each others games perfectly so they should each see their fair share of receptions. Reed is basically a rookie - and i dont think he has a diva give me the ball ego. Morris will be the feature back and happy about that. Moss, Hank, and Aldrick will be happy just to make the team n get paid. Helu will be happy being the third down back. What you have here is the perfect storm of talent and egos.
Edit: Roberts will be happy too. He is going to see the same if not more action than he saw in arizona. Will be the slot guy. So again we have a collective group of puzzle pieces that will make a beautiful puzzle.
Edit two: i cant wait to see this offense light teams up! HTTR!

I'd say garçon will drop in catches obviously but he'll be fine w it. We'll have a top 10 offense Imo and hopefully beat your sorry giants for a change
