[TCB]

We got him!

Can't wait to see the contract.

Love it. Have to see the contract but I'm excited. The speed on this offense...

 

[martinez]

3 years is perfect

 

[gkekoa]

I like it so far...gotta see me some numbers.

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 Jordan Reed last season. Jay Gruden's offense just got a whole lot better.

welp. you know at least one Iggles/Skins game will be a Sunday or Monday nighter now.

Nice pick-up for you guy's … I"m thinking you guy's lock him up in your slot because he's got great speed but lacks height on the outside… Nice punt returner also..

To me we overspend on him 3years 24 million and 16 guaranteed is what I'm hearing

$8M/year average for a top WR is overspending? Assuming there are contract clauses that give the team an out for off the field issues, this is a deal. We now have one of the most explosive offenses in the league. You want to help a suspect defense? Have a good offense. We can score quickly. We can grind it out. We can pick you apart with TEs and slot receivers over the middle. We have a QB that can extend plays or pick up 1st downs with his feet or his arm. RG3 has no excuses this year.

8 mil isn't really overpaying. He's better than Decker IMO and got just a little more. The guaranteed money is more than I like but it really depends on how much is a signing bonus and if there is an out for poor behavior.

RG3 still has an excuse...it's his first year in a new offense.

 

[deanpet21]

wasn't Jackson making 10 mil per season with the eagles? I think 8 is fair.
