DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday

[KI Skins Fan]

I trust this current Redskins management team. If they decide that they want to sign D-Jax, then I accept that it's what the Redskins should do.

I'd like to talk about the timing of the release of D-Jax and what that means to the Skins.

First, I think the Eagles did D-Jax wrong by releasing him as late as they did, after most teams had already made any expensive acquisitions that they were going to make. They probably took numerous potential landing spots for D-Jax off the table.

Second, that turned out to be a good thing for the Skins. Right now, it looks like Oakland might be the Skins primary competition for his services, although that could change quickly, as we all know.

He might like the idea of playing in the Bay area but he'd still be playing for the Raiders. Who would be throwing him the ball?

With the Redskins, he'd be in a passing offense with RGIII at QB, two other quality WR's, a budding young star at TE, and he'd get two or three shots a year to make Philly pay for cutting him. The Redskins have a lot to sell him.

We'll see what happens.

There's a rumor that the Skins offense is a good fit for D Jax. Something he'd be able to fit into easily. I think it's really between us, the Raiders, the Jets and the Bills.

We really can't lose because even if we don't sign him, at least he's out of the NFC.

Super Bowls aren't won by great Wide Receivers and teams that over-spend at that position, and Running Back for that matter, are going to have a difficult time building a championship caliber roster.

His contract is going to hamstring this franchise for years to come. With the same talent already on the roster, the Skins were a top 5 Offense just 2 years ago. The 3-13 record last year had nothing to do with not having a "viable" #2 Receiver.

The Offense can be plenty productive without him, but the team will suffer in the long run due to his cap hit.

Dude you don't even know what type of contract may be discussed. Some of y'all cats are so funny. Schneed10 already spelled out how his potential contract would have very little bearing on our overall cap future in terms of being 'hamstrung'.

Besides all of that, my point with Cris Carter is if his issues existed in today's media climate, fanbases would be at D-Jax times 100 with 'concern' about what he'd do to their locker rooms and his character.

You go ahead and name them all you want. And I'll name you:

- Jerry Rice
- Michael Irvin
- Plaxico Burress
- Torry Holt & Isaac Bruce
- Art Monk, Gary Clark & Ricky Sanders
- Lynn Swann

Garcon, Jackson and Roberts. Posse II?

I know it has been said but with the speed of Jackson and the speed of Robinson, the middle opens up so much for Reed, and Morris as well because with Jackson out there you CAN'T put 8 in the box unless you are Seattle.

Among those teams we have the advantage in so many areas:

- Ability to get back at the Eagles
- Most attractive QB to play for, by far
- A player with 'street cred' he'll respect and look up to in D Hall
- Enough cap space to satisfy contract demands
- First visit, a chance to sign him before he leaves town.

Raiders have the cap space and the home town. Jets have Morningwheg but I don't think that means much to DeSean.

I'm reading other articles that say otherwise, especially after the first year. If he wants to play here on the cheap, then I'm all for it. We're already 9th in the league in what we spend on Wide Receivers and this move is expected to move us into the top 5. When I look at the blue print for Super Bowl winners over the last 10-15, I don't see high-priced Receivers.

I'd just like us to be a team that has a lot of players who outplay their contracts. Alfmo is a perfect example. 1st round production for 6th round pay. We need more of that.

I have no concerns about his ability or even his character. It's the business aspect I don't like, plain and simple. This doesn't appear to be a move that the teams we want to be like would make.

To the others who saying Reid isn't interested is red flag is crap. The chiefs simply can't afford d jax, they are gonna have big cap problems starting next year. Simply not fesiable.

We don't have much more cap space than the Chiefs, now or into the future. If we can bend things to make DJax's cap number work, so can the Chiefs.

Yet they are not interested.

I hope the Raiders get him. Then he can make his $$, rack up 1,300 yards a year without hurting us, and be a destructive presence in someone else's locker room.

That's how I see it.

We have about 4 million more than the chiefs, which is significant when it probably is a 6million cap hit to land him.

#Chiefs & Andy Reid were intrigued by DeSean Jackson, but with limited cap space, can’t match the budding open market. Would’ve loved DeSean

Just wanted to put this out there.

I love how he was a 'destructive presence' in a locker room that won the division with a rookie coach. BASTARD!

Really? On Thursday if I started a random poll asking 'who is the most disruptive locker room force in the NFC East' Jackson probably would finished outside the top 3 behind Dez Bryant, Riley Cooper and Rodgers-Cromartie but now that there was a newspaper article written about him and his team made a decision, he's the worst sports person in America. Comical.

I just want to make sure that if we do sign him, all of you sit on your hands and worry about how he may be affecting the locker room each time he scores.

BTW, we have about twice the cap room the Chiefs have and more flexibility with cuts/restructures to non essential players.

[NYCskinfan82]

IMO RGIII should say to D. Jacks look I'm being labeled a coach killer and there giving you the same label come to the SKINS and lets both shut everyone up.

[over the mountain]

I would pass on desean, unless the money was skins friendly (which I doubt)

his addition would be a luxury, not a need.

im not so much worried about the off field stuff as i am with allocating too much money on receiver. even if his cap hit was 5-6 this year, id guess his average salary would be end up near 10 mil per. we have rg3, trent, rak, kerrigan to re-sign in the next few years.
