Maybe I'm wrong but my interpretation of what punch it in stated is NO we can get a player like him for CHEAPER.

Lol Robinson to Jackson? ... Absolutely NO comparison there, sadly.
While he is a punk, and a clown and I hate all sheagles.. The kid can ball... Simply too much $ for us though...

Maybe we should have picked him before taking both Malcolm Kelly AND Devin Thomas while he was still on the board that year..

Yeah there is no comparison between the 2 players.

My point was i can cook a meal for cheaper than Bobby Flay because im no Bobby Flay. Lol. Robinson comes cheaper than Jackson because he is no Jackson. I dont want to sign Jackson for several reasons, but to compare Robinson to him on a football field is like comparing me to Bobby Flay in a kitchen. I do make fantastic chicken wings though.

Per Ian Rapoport's latest Tweet, the Redskins are showing interest in DeSean Jackson.
Here's the exact quote: "Two wildcard teams interested in DeSean Jackson: Redskins and Bills. Can see both fits. Toss those in with Chiefs, Raiders and the rest".

I wouldn't mind seeing us make the move for Jackson. He's a playmaker!!... which we do not have enough of on this team.

Bingo. In his prime too. These players don't become available often. Sproles is a similar type, but he is well over 30. Desean has the ability to score from anywhere on the field. My best guess is chiefs, jets, and us are most likely best options. Jets in NYC with Vick already there and they have cap room. Chiefs with Reid. Skins have the room and give him an option to play them twice. Nobody wants to play in buffalo, raiders are a mess, pats with Hernandez incident plus they are cheap, Cleveland is a mess with no qb, and I don't think the 49ers have the room with the kap extension being worked on.

Bruce, get this done!

With a decent salary structure I would take him, but I am pretty sure there is bad blood between him and Hall, and maybe Santana(?) The Skins would need to make sure that locker room issues would not happen.

Pretty sure the bad blood was between him and Landry since pre-game of the Monday night disaster Landry pointed to his head as Jackson was just returning from a bad concussion.

I want him or Britt, need another WR.

Jackson's highly unlikely to come here for a number of reasons but for the sake of discussion, I'd be fully in support of him signing here.

He is what we've been needing for nearly a decade if not longer, a true threat at the WR position that teams have to game plan for. Garcon is a helluva receiver underneath and with the ball in his hands but we've never seen him catch a vertical route. Nobody else on our WR corp is more than 'just a guy' or worse. Adding Jackson to Garcon and Reed gives us a tremendous array of passing options.

As for the off the field stuff, yeah it's a concern but I don't worry about our locker room with stuff like this. For better or worse, Shanahan brought in a ton of character guys via the draft and even free agency who were captains of their college teams or leaders on other teams. We don't have the mercenary locker room culture that existed from 2000-2010 anymore. Jackson would find his space and fit in.

He's probably going to be a Chief or a Raider and we will trot out mediocre receivers once again.

No doubt we need another playmaker

D jax on this squad puts the skins on top of the division in offensive talent.

[chewman]

As long as it doesn't kill us cap wise, BA needs to get this done. I don't believe there is a receiver we could draft in the 2nd round that would help us like him is there??

[That Guy]

i'd file this under don't get your hopes up. he wants a lot of money, which we're a bit short on now, and the iggles released him in his prime, which should give you pause. outside of dawkins, there aren't a lot of cases of ex-iggles having good post-philly success.

he definitely has talent and is worth looking at, but i just don't see it happening.

[MTK]

Kinda torn on this. Talented player but he definitely brings drama and baggage.
