There have been rumblings of whether the Eagles are willing to trade star wideout DeSean Jackson. If this happens to be true, then there must be major issues in that locker room. You just don’t get rid of your #1 receiver like that. The move wouldn’t be a financial decision since Jackson is due $12.75 million this year and the Maclin/Cooper deals were cap friendly. So it would be interesting to see how this all plays out.
“The Eagles are not going to shop Jackson. The instant they do, they’ll forfeit any negotiating advantage they may have in trying to recoup acceptable value in return. This is especially true with a personality like Jackson, who comes with a history of character concerns. However, if another team came calling, the Eagles certainly wouldn’t laugh and hang up. There’s an opinion among some in the Eagles organization that Jackson’s personality is not a great fit with the locker room culture that Chip Kelly is trying to cultivate, and the Eagles could be open to trading him.”
