He's due for either an option or extension. Then this surgery thing.
Word is around town a lot of players are upset with how Steve Smith was handled. I would not be shocked to see them bottom out in a bad bad way.

They still can. They have shown a knack for throwing numbers as positions in the draft and they could do that again. If they go into camp with an O'Dell Beckham and Jarvis Landry pairing they could be ok.

The only problem is that they have a left tackle issue as well. I think that eliminates a double dip at WR right off the bat.
Luckily, this is a deep WR draft.

I just can't see rookies being the answer...they should have signed Nicks and drafted a WR.

That is how I would have handled it.

Nicks kindof sucked last year and he's always hurt. I guess they should have signed him because of their desperation but he wasn't going to make or break their passing attack.

He sucked, but he was hurt too. The Giants were also just bad. He would have been a good starting point.

Nice player for peanuts. Good thing we aren't looking to shore up the middle of our line. Having a good center makes that less important...and stuff.

Going to feel real stupid about it when they turn that pick into the next Joseph Randle.

Eagles reportedly willing to release DeSean Jackson

If the Philadelphia Eagles can't find a trade partner for DeSean Jackson, they're reportedly willing to mimic Carolina's route with Steve Smith and flat out release the deep threat.
Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News was told by a source Saturday that "Philly is trading him or cutting him. That's a fact. They don't want him."
Geoff Mosher of CSN Philly cited sources to report that Jackson has "ruffled too many feathers for new coach Chip Kelly," while another source told Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer that the seventh-year wideout is "as good as gone."
Jackson has every reason to desire his release over being shopped.
Mehta reported earlier that DJax remains unwilling to restructure his deal in order to ease his $10.5 million salary cap hit for potential suitors. Why should he? With a pile of franchises known to have some level of interest -- including the Jets, Panthers, Raiders, 49ers and Patriots -- Jackson will benefit from an all-out bidding war on the open market.
The Eagles reportedly have "informally" reached out to teams about a deal, and we'd imagine those in contact made it clear they had no interest in swapping draft picks while also paying Jackson's unwieldy salary. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport noted Saturday that the Raiders and Jets loom as the "most likely" candidates to still view a trade as a possibility.
It's increasingly likely that the Eagles will be required to cut Jackson if Kelly and Co. remain intent on moving forward without the playmaker. Resident soothsayer Chris Wesseling calls it a 97 percent lock that D-Jax isn't with the Eagles come September.
If and when that figure climbs to 100, the league-wide battle to acquire his services will be fierce.

27 years old and coming off a career year. Not a bad year to hit free agency for Jackson. I can't believe the Eagles are this dead set on getting rid of him.

Sad thing is Weeden probably played better last year. Just tells you how bad Sanchez was. Of course Weeden is 3 years older which is also just sad.

If he wasn't douche, I'd support us signing him. Even though he's really just a one trick pony, he'd be the perfect kind of compliment to Dez and Williams.

I would figure a team like Tampa Bay might get into it, along with the Jets.
Mike Williams is going to get cut real soon and that will kill the Bucs WR corps.
