Teams may in fact take him away in games, however they are most likely giving something up in the process. Having Desean on the foeld creates opportunities for other players on our offense, and tht has to be taken into account when figuring his worth.

DJ is a good WR but not elite. He is a play maker but he gets taken out of games too easily because he's so small. I agree with Leif.
But mark my words, the guy is not going to hold up. I think he has maybe two years left before his body starts breaking down.Originally posted by FRESH View PostTeams may in fact take him away in games, however they are most likely giving something up in the process.

The one area where he is killer is on ST. If you give him room he will kill you.
I want DJ back but I think he's a lot closer to the #10 WR than the #1. He wants #1 money.FRESH > cancer
I hate everything the Cowboys stand for. If you think they are America's team, then you support everything that is wrong with America. The excess, the greed, the lack of maturity, the lack of responsibility, the lack of control. - Luzinski's Gut

Holding out would be a stupid move by Jackson. If he's trying to use the short season as added leverage to pressure the Eagles it'll back fire on him. Let's hope the roach learned that with TO! If DJax is worried about injuries before the extension is signed I think he has to talk to Andy and ask for an insurance policy that pays him $500g per game missed for injury ($8 million if he misses the whole season). Once a new deal becomes valid the insurance expires. You can get insurance for anything and a lot of players (smart ones any way) carry their own policies for career ending injuries. Why not put something in place while the two sides finish the deal?Last edited by Jukin; 07-26-2011, 05:13 PM.Official Driver of the Eagles Bandwagon!!!

There are concerns with his size, health (concussions) and development as a complete WR. I think he is Top 12, probably #10.

It will all get worked out. I'm sure DJ realizes he' s still on the back burner right now and with good reason and I doubt the Roach (I like that one) even wants to deal with it now.
As long as they get something worked out before the end of preseason I'm fine with it, even if he holds out til then, it's just how things go in the league.

Per VFK:
agree....and why is the blame always on the Eagles? If DJax holds out, he should get blamed too...its a two way street and both sides have to be mature about the process
I agree too and I think Jukin made a great point too. I think Jackson holds out, or at least forces the issue in some manner. Other than being a distraction, I'm fine with it. I don't think that missing some TC is going to hurt him or the team."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

I think we are splitting hairs here. He's not an elite WR, just a top 10 guy? In a league with 64 starting WRs, that puts him in elite status. The guy may not be the best all around WR in the game, but he is a rare, special talent that any team would love to have as a weapon. To me, you take the top 5 receivers in the game, average their salaries and offer it to DJ.
Oh, and Vin, what about us guys with #10 jerseys?http://shop.cafepress.com/content/global/img/spacer.gifOK, let's try this again...
