DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday

Sounds like an interesting dinner. Tell us more

Well it was held in one of the private rooms at Crystal City Ruth Chris, overlooking the Potomac/National Airport. Beautiful place. Just appetizers and drinks.

Brown and Campbell (who's father is Marion Campbell) discussed their roles and job descriptions. After that the crowd got to ask questions. Tough questions were asked about Snyder, Shanahan, Cerrato and the 08 draft class. In a nutshell, they took the highroad and said that some of the bad decisions were "Redskin" decisions. Campbell didn't hold back on Fred Davis and basically said his issues were on him. He also implied that Devin Thomas had the talent, and I almost felt that he wanted to blame the coaches for that one.

Larry Michael also spoke. He mentioned how great a talent evaluator Vinny Cerrato was. WTF?? He defended the decision to draft RG3, which wasn't a big deal. He sort of threw Shanahan under the bus w/out giving any details.

Oh...Deshawn Jackson was mentioned. Brown said that Jackson fits 2/3 things they look for, age, health and character. He said..."there are a few things there about character that we need to address"... I found that interesting.

Overall a fun night.

CSN Washington's Tarik El-Bashir reports that Jackson has left Redskins Park per league sources. No contract in place at this time.

Oh well. As the day wore on the less I want him. Just my gut speaking. I still say he is Silver and Black bond.

Oh well

Niners have emerged as a suitor. Cali ties, better team. Their cap space is about the same as what we have plus they have to extend Kap. Also, I don't know how Jackson and Harbaugh would get along, but he's a players coach so they may be fine.

Whereas this morning I was thinking it was 75-25 it would happen, I'm back to 51-49 with the leaning going against it happening.

If he did indeed leave without signing a contract (which is what it sounds like), I guarantee you it was a $$ thing. And if that's the case, I'm fine with it. If the skins don't want to hamstring themselves financially down the road, and the price is giving up a potentially explosive but very one-dimensional WR, I'm okay with it. Plenty of amazing WR prospects in the draft.

*cough* Jordan matthews *cough*

What grinds my gears around here is the notion that money/draft picks spent on another position was somehow stolen from the offensive line or that we've ignored that position group which is completely false.

my gripe for the OL is that they didnt add a solid RT when there seemed to be a few guys avail for 3-5 mil per.

i guess you could put me in the crowd that thinks that if the skins arent going to save some money and transition 11% of the cap into next year, 8 mil per should have been spent on a FS and RT instead of a WR2.

in terms of team needs, FS and RT were my top 2 priorities and they have not been addressed at all.

either way im happy though. d jax or saving cap space will both benefit the team, just in different ways.

i hope he realizes kap isn't that great at throwing to WRs.

If yo uread this article it says he planned to leave then come back later today to iron out the details. So leaving now may meaning nothing. Just the number crunchers going at it; no reason for Djax to hang out in the office like he is waiting to buy a car.
