DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagle (PIMP)

Roob Frank agrees with the Skversky report

Eskin also confirms the report, saying the Eagles won't negotiate any further until he shows up at camp. He says pimp is looking for 5/$60M

Pay him, Joe.

Munson · August 01, 2011, 12:25:32 AM

yeah, but not 5 years/60 Mil. That's ridiculous. He should get Holmes money at most.

You don't think he's worth 60 mil over 5 yrs? I do but still he'll probably be closer to 50. He's gonna' get better and I think Pimp and Vick will be hooking up a whole lot this year 'cause they should be more comfortable playing together.

5/60 would make him the highest paid WR by quite a large margin. They shouldn't have to pay a guy who disappears as often as Jackson does an extra $1 or $2 million a year over what Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald makes. Pay the man, and pay him well, make him the highest paid WR if you have to. But 5/60 is a bit of a ridiculous asking price, and if Rosenhaus is serious about that number (and if Eskin is actually right about it), I could see these negotiations lasting a while.

Agreed

It's all about guaranteed money these days. 5/60 doesn't matter much IMO, if the guaranteed dollars are under $15m or so. The thing is... to PREVENT DJax from "disappearing" from time to time, you want as big a disparity as possible between his guaranteed money and total money.

Frankly, I think the Eagles would go something like 5/60 in a New York minute if he'd take less than 25% of that guaranteed. But I assume Rosenhaus wants that guaranteed money over $20m.

cobb got 5/63 for throwing three more ints than td's and a lot of the td's went to pimp

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 01, 2011, 09:19:06 AM

Agree completely. QB's get more money than WR's by a big clip (and for good reason), but DeSean is an elite gamechanger and Kolb is not (at least not yet).

But again, it's the guaranteed money. Kolb got $21-$22m or so. No doubt that is the vicinity of what Rosenhaus wants for Pimp.

A wr no matter how good isnt getting starting qb money

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 01, 2011, 09:21:15 AM

Pretty sure that's Banner's stance on the matter.

By definition yes he is

Lol at people comparing Holmes to Jackson. I'd pay Jackson a bunch more. One, he's younger, two never off field problems, and three Pump is a game change in multiple phases of the game. He's worth more than Holmes by quite a large margin, and taken as a whole he is obviously one of the top 5 most dynamic young players in the game. Cake him off, make him ridiculously happy for years.
