I fully expect DJax to sign with the foreskins today

[Eagle In Ohio]

However, unlike some of you, I can't just brush it off as an insignificant signing by Washington. I think that RG3 and D-Jax would be a formidable duo for the forseeable future, and I hope that Chip has plans to beef up this secondary to deal with that twice a year.

[Prowler]

He'll look for a better payday elsewhere

Besides, he'd fit as a Raider.

[KenfromCanada]

I can't see it due to salary cap reasons. He won't sign with them, they don't have enough money. The only way this can happen is if the market is very weak for him and the $$ is there somewhere else or Jackson takes less to play the Eagles twice and year and try to punish them for releasing him. Oakland has plenty of cap space and have done very little during FA this year. Jackson would represent the splash they need.

[Eagle In Ohio]

Man, I hope so

Besides, he'd fit as a Raider.

but I could see him signing in Washington just for the opportunity to stick it to Kelly.

Reminds me of the fear some fans had when Owens went to Dallas to try to stick it to Reid. He may have led Dallas is recieving but they went nowhere. Lost the division to an Eagles sweep in 06, won the division and then became the first NFC top seed to lose their first playoff game since the expansion of the playoff field, then the Eagles killed them in his last year eliminating them from the playoffs with that 44-6 romp.

You could probably add the fear fans had when McNabb got traded there as well. I remember posters here wondered what McNabb could do with a "real coach like Shanahan"--well everyone found out.

First game isn't even till September.

Plus, don't you think the Eagles learned a bit or two to slow him down? I mean, had it not been for the Saints DB getting a concussion, he would have finished the playoff game with zero receptions. Anyone--and I'm talking about Dallas 3 times in 2009, plus the Raiders and Chargers that year, to Green Bay twice--once in the playoffs in '10, plus Chicago in '10--that had success against the Eagles played a safety over the top and bumped him at the line.

While all of this is true

RG3 is definitely a more dangerous QB in my opinion, than Romo, and McNabb was on the backside of his career. Both RG3 and D-Jax both are entering their prime playing years.

They had a big "expose" on this in

The Richmond Times Dispatch this morning, front page of sports section...looks pretty bleak for him signing anywhere but Washington. Last I read the Raiders were researching him, and likely dropping out...obviously the Deadskins don't care about off the field stuff, they just look desperate as usual. Teams dropping out that were interested at first look to outweigh the teams that are actually interested, red flags all over this.

[TRENT]

if you got divorced yesterday,,,would you marry the 1st

but I could see him signing in Washington just for the opportunity to stick it to Kelly.

pig U came across,,,No,,,Im certainly sure he will go have some fun and eat some steaks 1st.

[Phoward12]

My main concern...

From a Skins fan perspective, is how Gruden deals with him. We know the kind of attitude/leadership Jon Gruden provided, but really know nothing about Jay Gruden, when he's in a full leadership role.

I'd actually be less worried about a Jackson signing if Shanahan was the coach. Not that I wanted Shanahan back after last season, but at least you'd know going in that Shanahan would sit his ass for any reason and stick to his guns. I worry about Gruden letting Jackson do whatever he wants if he's a "player's coach."

That being said, if it works out, great. The Skins haven't had a real deep threat in awhile and Jackson would give us that dimension. It's unbelievable that I'm typing this, but if he wants a big payday, I don't think the Skins have the space to accommodate him, and even more amazingly, might not be willing to negotiate much. Quite a difference from the Haynesworth days.

Simmer down, Emo in Ohio. He's going to the Bills or the Raiders.

[Eagle In Ohio]

Listen

Simmer down, Emo in Ohio. He's going to the Bills or the Raiders.

You just worry about what your Rams are gonna do with that second pick. I have Tavon Austin on my fantasy team. I got him with a 7th round pick, should I franchise him in anticipation of a breakout season ?

[BigSlizz]

Are you on keeper tiers? Like do you get to keep one guy rounds 1-4, one 5-10, and one 10-the end?

What are your other options?

[Eagle In Ohio]

One keeper. Period.

Are you on keeper tiers? Like do you get to keep one guy rounds 1-4, one 5-10, and one 10-the end?

Whatever guy you choose to keep, you lose the pick for that round. If you got him as a free agent, you lose nothing.

[Raptor]

Im not so sure

I've been listening to DC radio all morning, DJ isn't arriving until tonight and

$$$ could be a real sticking point. Skins have about 7 million to spare and the local reporters who claim to know about DJ imply money is a huge issue for him.

[TerpEagle]

Wow, that's not bad. You lose two rounds ahead for keepers in our league so if you'd lose your Rd. 5 pick for Austin.

For free agents pickups you lose two rounds behind the projected draft position - that may change this year though.
