DeSean Jackson released

[ManInTheMirror]

DeSean Jackson has been released by the Philadelphia Eagles.

[tndcollectables]

Hmmmm...... Broncos or Patriots?

[ManInTheMirror]

People are talking Seahawks or Raiders.

[tndcollectables]

Raiders are always a popular choice for people to say because they love speed and troubled receivers. Seahawks is hard to say because he would have to buy into the team concept. Plus Wilson's contract is coming up soon and he will get paid.

Hope he comes to AZ

[tndcollectables]

It would be good for AZ if he does. The issue would be is if he could be a team player.

He will sign with Washington. ..he will upgrade the receiving corps and get revenge on the Eagles.

He can get 200 yards on them I don't give a crap but what matters most is the win and I just don't see that happening. They may split but I see Eagles winning both.

I don't know man... Foles to Cooper was a good matchup, but the Eagles don't have what anyone would call a "Number 1 receiver" do they? Then you have to pray that McCoy stays healthy (he has only started all 16 games in a season once), and that Foles doesn't go down for any reason, forcing the Eagles to start Barkley.

I think the Eagles are very strong, but if RGIII can play well this upcoming season, then I see the Eagles on the outside looking in come playoff time, because the wildcard will come out of the NFC West again.

Ever heard of Jeremy Maclin? He is back and if he stays injury free a beat will not be skipped. He is a better overall WR than Jackson anyway. They will probably also draft a guy with plans of him being a #1 at some point. Arrelious Benn is also on their roster and could step up.

That VoteForFoles guy is such a jackass.

Yes, I have heard of Jeremy Maclin, here are how his stats line up with DeSean Jackson.

Jeremy Maclin:
59 Career Games (5 years pro)
258 Career Receptions
3,454 Receiving Yards
26 Career TD's


DeSean Jackson:
87 Career Games (6 years pro)
356 Career Receptions
6,117 Receiving Yards
39 Career TD's (4 Return, 3 Rushing)

These numbers pretty much destroy your argument that Maclin was a better receiver than Jackson. They also show that Jackson was the more versatile player. He was useful in the running game, and dangerous in the return game. Maclin also had a slower 40yd time than Jackson, as well as slower burst speed with his 10yd and 20yd split times. Maclin is also coming off a torn ACL and a whole year away from football; something that players do not come back from and perform better (historically speaking).

I have no doubt that the Eagles will draft someone, potentially as a number one receiver, but that hasn't happened yet and the Eagles have some pretty pressing needs; namely defense, where they rank in the bottom half of the league in every category and in the bottom 5 in a few.

I have also heard of Arrelious Benn. If you are counting on the man referred to as a "return specialist" to be a big step up in your receiving corp, you may be in for a let down.

I'm sorry man, you may have a new account name now, and I can see that you made a lot of trades on other sites, but neither one can help your football knowledge unless you get over being a homer. If you're going to come with an argument (or position / opinion if you prefer those terms), you have got to come correct and do your research, because I definitely will.

Maclin is not #1 WR quality.

[vikingsfan4life]

I dont think Jackson is a #1 reciever either. He is best used as a #2 or in the slot. Same with a Percy Harvin type WR. They just don't have the size, they rely on quickness and speed. I think the Eagles will be fine with Mccoy in the backfield, Maclin & Cooper. They also will probably draft a WR in a VEry deep WR class. I think it was a good move on Phili's part honestly. There is no way he was worth the money they were paying him. He is good don't get me wrong, but he is not worth as much as they were paying him.
