What DJax and his defenders like Ward don't get is that most citizens and fans of the NFL do not have friends that are gang members. Most of us don't have friends that are known criminals, nor do we make silly hand signs to honor where we came from that look like gang signs. May be the way people act in Compton or other parts of south central LA, but if you were smart when you'd distance yourself from all that nonsense before it kills your career.Or they can continue to act like poor misunderstood youths.

Just heard on 'local radio' that two teams are in deep talks with his agent - those teams are speculated to be the Raiders and the Redskins, with the Redskins the favorite to land him..

 

ESPN report indicates that these are two teams previously not associated with him:

is deep in negotiations with two teams previously not mentioned as having interest, a source close to the situation told ESPN NFL Insider Ed Werder.

As long as there is not a lot of guarenteed money I would take him but would want to be able to release him if need be and not take a huge cap hit.

Exactly. It would be a short deal with little in guarantees and heavy incentive money. Should be interesting

Just read a local article that sites a report by a member of DC media saying that the Browns are pursuing Jackson. More rumor spreading, especially considering people within the Browns have said that it won't happen (too big $$ contract for him, when they'll want to give Gordon a good contrat).

 

the local article

Which includes this info (the DC media speculation)

NBC Washington’s Diana Russini reported today the Browns “are going hard with [an] offer” after Jackson. Russini also reported the San Francisco 49ers have thrown their hat in the ring for Jackson and that he'll visit the 49ers Wednesday if he doesn't sign with the Redskins today.

They're saying that Desean is all but a Redskin.

Per rotoworld:

 

Redskins agreed to terms with WR DeSean Jackson, formerly of the Eagles, on a three-year contract.

 

The Redskins have just $6.5 million in salary-cap space, so the majority of Jackson's 2014 earnings should come in the form of a signing bonus. He's highly unlikely to match or eclipse the $10.7 million he was scheduled to earn from the Eagles.

 

From a fantasy standpoint, it's a mixed landing spot. D-Jax will have a play-making quarterback in Robert Griffin III, but has to contend with another No. 1 receiver in Pierre Garcon. Jackson isn't going to come anywhere close to the 82/1,332/9 line he posted in 2013, and won't be a lock for 1,000 yards.

 

For the Redskins, however, it's a coup for a team that hurt for weapons outside of Garcon and Fred Davis last season. Jay Gruden's offense just got a whole lot better.

Good old rotoworld. I guess they forgot that Fred Davis hasn't been a weapon since the start of the 2012 season..

I think it speaks more to how poor the Skins offense was when Fred Davis has to be considered a weapon. He's no Josh Morgan, LOL

Maybe they just got confused and meant to type Chris Cooley. Mistakes can happen to anyone.

They also failed to mention the recently signed Andre Roberts.

 

In order for all of those receivers (including Reed) to have decent value RG3 needs become more of a pocket passer and less of a runner. Maybe the Panthers and Redskins can trade QBs, and then the Pathers can just line up with 7 lineman and RG3 plus 3 RB in the backfield ;)
