DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagle (PIMP)

Good for him.  The Eagles should have had a contract extension waiting for him at the Nova Care first thing this morning.

Vick hints at DeSean Jackson holdout
Jul 26 11:52AM ET

By Dan GrazianoMichael Vick addressed the media upon his arrival at Eagles training camp Tuesday morning, and the thing he said that's getting the most attention isn't about him. Vick was asked about wide receiver DeSean Jackson, and he told reporters at Lehigh that he didn't know whether Jackson would be reporting on time.

"He has things he has to think about," Vick said, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

It could continue to be an issue all year for the Eagles, who are now-focused while Jackson is future-focused. It is, of course, Jackson's contract, which is up at the end of the 2011 season and which he would apparently like extended before rather than after the season.

Now, don't get too worried, Eagles fans. This doesn't have to be an issue. This is only speculation from Vick, who has obviously talked to Jackson, about what Jackson might do. Jackson could show up Wednesday and say there's no problem. The Eagles could give him the extension and eliminate it from their list of 2011 concerns. But it could be an issue, and the Eagles have been aware of that for some time. They drafted Jeremy Maclin in the first round in 2009 in part because they believed he could develop into a No. 1 receiver if they were unable or unwilling to keep Jackson long-term, and there have been whispers around the team for the past couple of years that the looming Jackson contract situation could get complicated.

If Jackson does decide to hold out, it'll be interesting to see whether the Eagles dip into this year's very good free-agent receiver market -- either to gain leverage on him or put themselves in position to replace him if he decides to hit the market a year from now. Either way, Vick just hinted at an issue that could be a major one for the Eagles as they balance future concerns with their efforts to win this year's Super Bowl.

It's comments like this that seriously cause me to question the intelligence of sports writers as a whole.  Seriously, there would be a backlash against the Eagles like you couldn't believe if they let Jackson walk.

except banner inc has shown time and time again tha tthey dont give a shtein about the fans or media or anyone else for that matter

i mean they let dawkins walk you really think these guys would give farg about a pimp backlash

[General_Failure]

Really, them letting Jackson walk should be expected by now. He's easily one of the top players in the NFL today, and they're not going to pay him like one.

from mclane's twitter, read backwards because im not copying and pasting in order:

... if he stay away for a few days. As one player that is close to DeSean said, "It's his time to get paid."

... So I think DeSean shows up tomorrow, sneaks in somehow, acts pissy to the media and makes his point. I would not be surprised, tho, ...

... vastly underpaid. But I'm not sure holding out is his best move with the #Eagles. Homies don't play that and Drew Rosenhaus knows it. ..

... every angle. He wasn't happy then and he's not happy now and a holdout was always in the cards. I'm not saying he's wrong. He's ...

... I took some heat for reporting then that DeSean was letting his contract situation become a distraction. But I had that story from ...

Random thought No. 2: This DeSean Jackson contract situation has been brewing for a long time and started to really heat up last Dec.

Just got off the phone wit @DeseanJackson10 real recognize real #100

I guess they're planning their holdouts together

There are 136 WR's in the league that will make more than Pimp this year. That is a problem.
