Where do you want me to start on the free agency list? Should I start with Deon Sanders and work down? This team isn't remotely close to contending. There are much greater needs than 1 WR. If we were stacked (likef 49ers/Seattle), I could see the move, as it is, this is just a band aid. Seems this team is never going to learn. (or its fans)

This I wouldn't mind. There is 0% chance he's coming in for the "Vet Min". None. But I would take a chance on him with a 1 year deal; so that if somethings not working out you can just cut him and be done with it.

I have always loathed Jackson, but there is no denying he's a talent and would be a major addition to this offense. That said; I don't want to sign him to a long term deal and if he ends up doing something stupid, that money then affects our ability to resign Kerrigan, Orakpo, Griffin, Williams, ect.

So I wouldn't hate this move, as long as its a 1-2 year deal (frontloaded). Anything beyond that, no thanks. I voted "yes, only for the vet min" but I really mean, "only on a 1 year deal"

This isn't the management that brought in Sanders/Archuleta etc. Jackson is not 33 and done. We didn't trade a pick to a division rival for a used up qb. Heck we don't even know if we overpaid him yet.

It is an opportunity to bring in a playmaker, a dynamic returner, a competent 2nd WR to compliment Garcon and Roberts. Maybe the organization makes a solid effort to bring him in and pays an appropriate price to seal the deal.

Lets let this FO have a reasonable time before we condemn them for sins of redskins past.

As his college coach Ted Tedford, even Michael Silver a Cal Alumni and known homer dislikes him. Here's something he wrote in 2008 during his rookie season when he wrote for Yahoo:

DeSean Jackson, that was so cute the way you announced your alma mater as Long Beach Poly during the Sunday Night Football telecast of the Eagles-Giants game, ignoring your three-year stint at the University of California. Not only did you manage to diss the nation's No. 1 public university in a very public way, but you also – quite shockingly – drew attention to your favorite person: DeSean Jackson. Yes, I know, that whole selfishness thing at Cal was totally overblown. Even though the coaching staff once punished you for a violation of team rules by forcing you to learn the names of each of your teammates, I'm sure they were just tripping. But I have a feeling that after Sunday's conspicuous disavowal of your Golden Bear ties, many of my fellow alums – including the ones who blasted me on message boards when I referred to you as "MeSean" before the draft – are probably rethinking their devotion. Congratulations on another good game in a successful rookie season. And, from the bottom of my blue-and-gold heart, thank you for leaving early.

So the Chiefs found a skeleton in the closet?

Better late than never!

This isn't a vinny move, not close.

If you to call out a vinny look at the stupidity going on with the raiders. Vinny Mckenzie, paying premium price for 30+ year old players while let their young talent walk.

I agree here. But in today's NFL a team can have a one year turn around. With some better coaching, add a explosive proven wr, better teams play, some luck in the draft and an improved Griffin, wouldn't you say we could win the East? I think that's not a far off assumption.

Are you really going to judge the guy for what he did while in college? Didn't you do some things you regretted when you were young?

[Chico23231]

Getting d jax would also be a plus in regards to our first draft pick where we could focus on tackle or secondary at 34.

[chewman]

Not every fan is going to be excited if we sign him, you can't please everyone. I know I will be extremely excited if we get this done and it also gives us a chance to have a very year. GET IT DONE!! HTTR!

He's still doing it in the pro's, why on the earth would the eagles let this guy walk being the talent that he is?
