    The 'Skins always make great FA signings, and this one will be right up there with Haynesworth. Good move for the now-favorites of the NFC!

    Yep. I believe Daniel Synder crawled out of Jerry Jones as*.

    They're too much alike.

    Great signing. Gives RG3 another target.

    Very little downside to this signing. A reasonable price and a contract length that allows flexibility if things don't pan out. You can't really compare Albert Haynesworth (7 years, $100 million) to DeSean Jackson ( 3 years, $24 million). This was a great signing, now hopefully they can draft some depth for their secondary.

    The Redskins are becoming the Raiders of the East...

    One program thinks he a liability and the other program opens their arms to him?

    What do you get when you combine a 1st year head coach, a primadonna QB, and a WR so unwanted the EAGLES of all teams let him go? You get **drumroll please** the 2014 Foreskins finishing at 5-11 and blame going everywhere and a new coach in 2015.

    You're just not squinting hard enough to see the upside. When you finish the season 3-13, fire your head coach and OC, watch your Rookie of the year QB hobble around in a knee brace all year, have your only decent receiver get double teamed all season, watch your defense go from top 10 to dead last (with basically the exact same players), you have no #1 daft pick this year, and you have an offense that is really only lacking a couple of O-line changes and a solid WR ... "Hell Yea" you roll the dice on a game changing, Pro Bowl receiver that falls into your lap.

    We take him away from a division rival that we play twice a year. We get him for a pretty good price that doesn't hurt our cap. He should be a bit more humbled and hopefully more of a team player after all of this media coverage has called him out. We don't have to blow our higher draft picks on another WR that may not work out. And we add him to our offense .. which now has RGIII (w/no knee brace) as QB, wide receivers will be Pierre Garcon, DeSean Jackson, and Andre Roberts (& either Santana Moss, Alderick Robinson, Leonard Hankerson). Our new tight end Jordan Reed (was on pace to set records before his injury), and our running backs Alfred Morris and Roy Helu are pretty solid. We've replaced two of our O-linemen, and will hopefully pick up a competent right tackle in the draft. So with the key acquisition of DeSean, and a healthy RGIII ... our offense looks pretty darn good.

    Of course, I'm wearing my rose colored (burgundy colored) glasses ... so I could be wrong. But just make sure you remember to bump this thread up when The Redskins knock the Seahawks out of the playoffs this year.

    From what I have heard on sports talk radio he sounds a lot like Randy Moss only worse.

    If he decides to grow up he will be a great addition to his team, if he continues to be a pile of garbage (playing when he feels like it) not so much.

    Tom Brady could have used a little DeSean Jackson action this upcoming season.

    Jackson is misunderstood and simply wants a little respect, plus the money he deserves. If he does not get the above, he gets upset.

    He certainly is an electrifying player when he wants to play at his peak performance level.
