Trade for Desean Jackson?

If we can get him for cheap, then I think we have to go for it. It should be our biggest priority to get weapons around whichever qb we pick in the 1st.

In which case, I wouldn’t make a deal unless we could negotiate an extension with him.

I don’t want the new TO at any cost because we already have lots of cap space locked up in Marshall, Fasano and Dansby. We need the draft picks to address our biggest deficiencies.

a lot of teams are going to be giving Jackson a long look on the off-season. I doubt the Eagles resign him, but he is just such a talent a bunch of teams would want him.

I completely agree that he is the type of number 2 receiver we need. Opposing defenses will finally not be able to double Marhsall because they respect Jackson’s ability to take the ball down the field.

The only problem is that you can tell Jackson wants to play for a good team. Miami is not a particularly good team right now. Unless there is really no interest in him, which I believe there will be, there is a very slim chance of picking him up in FA.

Sounds like we’ll need a shrink following this team around 24/7. Both are great talents and trust me, if it did happen, I’d be ecstatic. Then again, they both become distractions when their teams are losing. If we bring in a QB and add Jackson to our arsenal- how do you lose? I guess anything is possible in the NFL. Especially with a team as talented as the Eagles losing…

he is going to want a huge contract. Plus, he might be even more of a diva than BM. Them 2 on the same team would be risky. Also, you have to add in the fact that we do not yet have a QB capable of getting them enough touches to be happy.

The reasons he’s acting selfish and immature right now is because he never got paid, he took one for the team and now the team sucks and can’t make the playoffs so he’s in “F-You, F-everyone” mode.

We could pay him his fair contract, and with the strong defense we have and an explosive offense, we would be a playoff team as long as Moore doesn’t implode/our 1st rd QB doesn’t suck.

I don’t think he is worth more than $3-4m per year personally. I don’t see him signing a deal that low. He’s a piece of sh!t in his current state……..

ACTUALLY, NO I would not acquire this guy. He is a disgrace to his name, the league, and most importantly his TEAMMATES! This guy makes Marshall look like Tebow. If he’s so worried about his money, go earn it. He’s out there moping around and trying to avoid injury. How would Mesean have felt if L. McCoy had his knee blown out when Jackson blatantly sidestepped that block on the sideline? That display he put on against the Seahawks was the biggest display of “quit” I have ever seen.

Its about ROCK BOTTOM for Jackson… Good article on Yahoo here

need to resign not too distant in the future. We don’t have the cap space to have two #1 WRs. Not unless we want to be like the Jets this past offseason (they had to let go of a lot of talent) or the Eagles this offseason.

he has already given up on the eagles, i dont want a player like him on the team, esp if it comes at a cost

Hartline isn’t DJ, but he keeps his mouth shut, works hard and doesn’t put himself before the team

um dude is a PLAY-MAKER.
whens the last we had one of those????

PAY THE MAN!
“People don’t really understand the light that I bring and just kind of shine on my teammates.”

Possibly the most swagtastic quote of all time.

But it doesn’t matter, cuz we can’t trade for him now, and he’s gonna be a FA, some would sign him before trading for him, lol

If you or I go to work tomorrow and ask for a raise and then proceed to loaf around for however long, we will get sh!t canned. I don’t like the argument that his career can be over in one play. So can mine or yours. Being part of a team means people depend on you to do your job. If you want to get paid, HOLDOUT like a man. Don’t collect game checks for jogging slower than me down the sidelines and alligator arming touchdowns. That is stealing.
I said it earlier: If McCoy took that hit on the knee (where he was expecting Mesean to throw a simple block) and had his career ended, would Jackson step up and take care of him and his family? If these “underpaid” guys are so concerned about the career ending hit, why don’t they take out insurance like the college kids do?
Since you brought up Forte, I have a great and newfound respect for that man.

and there are teams dumb enough to do it. if there in the top ten picks I’m all in. We would get there first and second this year and either there 2nd or 3rd next. IF for some reason RG111 is there at 10 take him, then 2 picks O-line and the rest CB, FS, OLB, and maybe another late tall project WR. I still don’t think Henne is bad , and with the right team around him he will be very good. Not great but very good. that’s why I spend the second on RT and maybe pick up someone FA for the line. Let Jerry, Murtha , and the new guy battle it out in camp.If we build a line that works, Our QB plays better, Thomas runs better, and Bush can get out side. Go ahead a rip me about Henne, but when he goes else where and comes to town and owns us, you then will see why.

this guy’s a punk, a cancer, and flat out trouble. He’s the type that will get his money and then get suspended for punk plays. His talent does not outweigh his negatives.

This guy is the opposite of what you want to bring into a team. Sure he occasionally makes plays. But the guy is one dimensional and acts like a little bitch when he’s not getting paid. Look at Forte Desean! He tells the team he’s frustrated but doesn’t give up either. Those are the type of guys you want on your team.

Versus Seattle last week he went deep and Vince looked at him but he didn’t even look over his shoulder. Not the guy you want on your team. I personally would hold onto the group we have and get a QB and a TE with our first 2 picks. Matt Barkley and Dwayne Allen are who I want next year. Then go OT in the 3rd to battle Murtha. Go hard after Laron Landry/ Tyvon Branch and Cliff Avril/Anthony Spencer for OLB and we’ll be set.

SMH. Why couldn’t it happen to Jackson instead?

what makes you think we’ll have a rookie QB who needs help next year? Next year’s draft is going to be O-Line, O-Line and then depth depth backup QB depth depth.

(Unless the Eagles place a franchise tag on him, the Dolphins wouldn’t need to trade for him.)

Just some insight on Jackson. He wants too much money. He wants top-5 WR money, being paid like the Larry Fitzgerald. That is why he still on his rookie deal. Eagles already made him an offer for about $7-$8 million a year and he turned it down.

And for someone wanting to be paid like a top-receiver, he sure does not act like one. He has problems catching passes (9 drops on the year, as least 3 of those being TDs), not being a good route runner, alligator arming passes because is about to hit him, and quitting on plays.

He really has been a source of ire from Eagles fans this year.

That said, DeSean is still a decent receiver. Everyone knows why: he is really freaking fast. Every play he makes can easily turn into a big play. When DeSean is really clicking, he is definitely one of the more exciting receiver to watch.

If you can get him somewhere around $8-$9 a year million range, it would be a good deal for the Dolphins. He just wants more than that, but I have no idea who would pay him like he’s Larry Fitzgerald.
