In the end, I don't think Jackson wanted to play for Kelly anymore

[slag]

What?

What?

Andy Reid seems to be the guy who liked Jackson the most.

Andy Reid ran shotgun on short yardage?

Then maybe Diggle you can tell me why he took what amounts to a 2.5M paycut--if he'd kept his mouth shut, the Eagles might have asked him to restructure but there would be no way they would have cut him like they did. Roseman didn't want to deal with the possible distractions and the threat he'd hold out again. Or can't you see that point of view??

And here's the quotes from January--

The redskins are giving him 16 million which is more than the 10 million he was gonna get from the eagles. So since when does 16 minus 10 equal negative 2.5?

Be nice and let twerpeagle build up his self image in his own mind. Its all he has.

i think it's that if they didn't cut him and he was on the roster at the start of the season he would have gotten 10 this year and then if he was still on the team next year...another 10...but yes, it's not guaranteed money.

I feel like with Vick he ran shotgun a lot and I thought that was your reference but I could just be associating with throwing on 4th and inches.

Obviously you meant Kelly so my mistake.

No I don't have a reading problem

Apparently you have a reading comprehension problem. Where in my text did I say that Kelly had a problem with his OFF-FIELD life?? Everything I said dealt with life between the lines.

That must be you, because I never said that you yourself said that. My point is that they've cut him, and let information leak out about these possible gang ties (and please don't try to say that they had no knowledge that this info was going to come out), but they have no proof of that whatsoever, at least none they they care to divulge. If those reports weren't somehow connected to the FO, then why not come out and say "we have no knowledge of DeSean jackson's involvement in any gang of any kind." They were perfectly okay with that information just floating out there to soil his reputation. that's some dirty shit if that's what they did.

There was never any chance that jackson was getting that 2015 money from the eagles so its completely irrelevant. The same goes for year three of the redskins deal.

true..it's basically a two year deal where they can cut desean if his performance slips or he acts like a twat again.

the story still doesn't add up

Clearly you have a talented player recognized by the league, with multiple years of productivity. He wasn't injured and is in the proper age for continued productivity. If all of what you say is true, that the professional issues stemmed from personal differences, then you trade him for some return on the value. They shop him to other teams and say that the coaching staff doesn't see things eye-to-eye with the player.

Obviously, if you think he is making too much money, you have to ask what a pro-bowl wide-receiver is worth financially. Asking Desean to take a paycut would not be feasible coming off his last season. Cutting him now makes no sense when considering spreading his dead money hit over 2 seasons. If you don't want him around the young players at all, clearly he wasn't working out at the NovaCare building anyway! Even if he held out during training camp, they could have just cut him at that time too.

Something is missing. It may just be a clash of egos.

[Two Gap Penetrator]

Bwahahaha!

[Two Gap Penetrator]

Are you serious?

It's clear that he got more GUARANTEED money from The Skins to me. Why isn't it clear to you?

[nerd]

desean's conference call will be starting 15 minutes late. get out of town.
