The Redskins won in '87 and '91 with an excellent set of pass catchers that helped to lead the team. Yes we had a running game, and last time I checked we still have a good one. But we also had Clark, Sanders, and Monk. Those three did all kinds of things on offense to help alot of areas. .We had great receivers, however we had a dominant OL / DL in both years. Without the Hogs putting Timmy Smith on the map in SB 22 and the least sacks allowed in NFL history in '91 (outside of a give-up final game where we rested starters). Those teams don't win the SB.
I'm not against the DJax signing, but it's got to be a cap friendly, back-loaded (as much as possible) contract where we can cut him loose if needed after 3 years. His speed/quickness is his only weapon and he's 27.
We also won't be a playoff contender each year with DJax, Garcon & RG3, but a medicore-poor OL & defense.

My other source Eddie Spaghetti notes Desean Jackson has agreed to the following terms
5 years 75 million, 55 million guaranteed, bonus of 100 bottles of prego sauce if he catches one pass, bonus shoots up to 5000 bottles if he catches 2. The contract is laden with incentives, the most important being if DJax catches 10 passes, he will have to change his religion to pastafarian and worship the flying spaghetti monster, but he will get a lifetime supply of kraft macaroni and cheese.
So, worth it?

I'll say the toughest part was getting Chip Kelly to agree to release him for this prankdoes he sign and trojan horse us like mcnabb and that's the prank or does he not sign and the teasing was the prank?

True, but the agent does not sign a contract. It maybe bunk, but it's never a good thing to let a FA leave without a signature on a contract.

Silence is often a good thing though, leaks usually mean things are breaking down.

The agent writes the contract, uses a thing called a cell phone, and tells the player it's done, or moving on.
There is probably some haggling over, sticking point on, some way to recoup guarantees, and also over roster bonus structures (Bruce has used them in very creative ways this year). That said, if it's not done today, then Skins fans just need to be happy that he is at the least out of division. It's really a win win from the Skins perspective.
