 | Eagles | DeSean Jackson has a new attitude | 5.16.2012 10:10:46 AM EST |
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson is eager for a fresh start in 2012 after skipping the first 11 days of training camp last season over a contract dispute. Jackson said he is more relaxed. 'It was a tough year for myself, had a lot of struggles, had a lot of things that just took me off of my game and my focus,' Jackson said. 'This year, a lot of that has just been removed, and I'm able to focus and be comfortable and be confident that I'm at a place where I'm wanted. I just really want to be able to bring a championship to the city.' Jackson has been working out with QB Michael Vick in advance of organized team activities. | ||
| Eagles | DeSean Jackson urges LeSean McCoy not to holdout | 5.12.2012 10:20:01 AM EST |
Although Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson held out of training camp last summer before playing out the final year of his contract, he urged RB LeSean McCoy to take a different approach as he enters the last year of his deal this offseason. 'I think it would be in his best interest to come' to offseason practices and camp, Jackson said. 'Looking back now it really hurt me more than I thought it helped me. Hopefully he saw everything I went through, and hopefully (agent) Drew (Rosenhaus) won't have him go through the same thing.' | ||
| Eagles | DeSean Jackson contract update | 4.16.2012 10:17:20 AM EST |
The Philadelphia Eagles could get out of their contract with WR DeSean Jackson after two years. According to a league source, Jackson gets a $10 million signing bonus and a $750,000 base salary in 2012. He gets a $6.75 million base salary in 2013, and $4 million of that is fully guaranteed while the rest is guaranteed only against injury. Of Jackson's $10.25 million 2014 salary, only $250,000 is fully guaranteed and $250,000 is guaranteed against injury. He is eligible for a $250,000 workout bonus in each year of the deal, and his base salaries for the final two years are not guaranteed. As a result, the Eagles can easily escape after the 2013 season if they want to. And if they don't, they can keep Jackson for salaries that likely will be well below market value in the final three years. | ||
