DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagle (PIMP)

[lurking wierdo]

it's pretty farging incredible that anybody out there would be against him in his holdout.  but as i look at the comments on various articles, you have farging retarded people calling him selfish and that his "antics" don't deserve a new contract.

a young brash black man about to make a lot of money?

im surprised anyone on the internet is for the holdout

and yeah holmes is a good baromometer...pimp is better but holmes was unrestricted so seems like his number is about right in this case

I am actually for the hold out. He's be dumb to report and risk injury. The CBA does address the non-guaranteed contracts in the NFL, but as his is "only" 565,000 this year, I don't know how he would be affected.

I understand a lot of criticism of the FO, but I really don't understand the criticism of them not getting a massive extension done for a player already under contract in the first few hurried days of league business.

i think if their intent was to sign him after things died down then hed be in camp...the fact that hes under contract and not showing up tells me the eagles have sent him messages that are not coming close to satisfying him or his agent...remember this contract situation goes back to before even last year...this is not something new that the eagles couldnt have addressed one way or another...even if it was nothing more than to say look desean you are getting your money and getting it before the season starts just come on in

imo they dont have a huge desire to resign him for anywhere close to what the market would dictate...but thats just me....hopefully im way off and he signs next week

The Eagles not taking care of Jackson is like a person who buys a house with a hole in the roof painting the floor trim first.  And then cleaning the oven.  And then weeding the garden.  And then... well, you get the point.

They're farging stupid.  Period.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

You're both right, and I now finally see that there is no logic available to dispute it. None. Banner should have an entire team of accountants and lawyers working on every possible facet at once, and/or the FO should have gone whole hog on re-upping DeSean instead of bothering with addressing anything else first. Duh. How stupid I've been.

[ice grillin you]

no you make a good point....i guess they needed all those people to sign jason babin...and for the past year and a half all those people were prepping for the signing of jason babin

Getting an extension done for Jackson absolutely should have been concern # 1a after trading Kolb.

I don't see how anything else comes close.

Even if you're right, the Kolb deal still ain't done.

[Rome]

Which exposes their ineptitude even further.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Have to agree there. Kolb deal, assuming it does indeed happen with Arizona, should have been wrapped within 48 hours tops.

[ice grillin you]

an army of accountants and lawyers given the most time to prepare in the history of the league...not having to have put any time into their own free agents and a public promise from banner inc to pounce out of the gate has brought jason babin in the first three days of FA

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

don't forget they signed a rookie kicker named Henery and a rookie punter named Henry

Have to agree there. Kolb deal, assuming it does indeed happen with Arizona, should have been wrapped within 48 hours tops.

Why?

Another way to look at it is let's get the unknowns out of the way and then wrap up Jackson. If he's a couple weeks late to camp, so what? They don't need him sweating off any of his 150lbs in August.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yes, that is indeed "another" way of looking at this. No one here, especially not me, has said exactly that already.

[ice grillin you]

lol at calling the cobb trade an unknown

[lurking wierdo]

Yes, that is indeed "another" way of looking at this. No one here, especially not me, has said exactly that already.

But why did the Kolb deal need to be done yesterday> What was of such importance?
