"We want DeSean to be an Eagle for the long
haul and this is a step ... to accomplish that," announced GM Howie
Roseman. "We will continue our efforts on getting a long-term deal done
with him." We wouldn't hold our breath on that one. The Eagles are
reportedly open to trade offers on Jackson, though the most likely
scenario is a return to Philadelphia at $9.5 million, perhaps after
missing offseason workouts in protest. If Jackson shows improved
attitude and production, the Eagles can then reward him with a long-term
deal in November.
