    I hear that Johnson and the Titans aren't in the same ballpark right now. I haven't heard crap about Jackson and the Eagles. If you have a link please provide. Don't get a ton of Eagles news here in Missouri but I think that DeSean will either resign this season or at the end of the year. He'll be an Eagle.

    not a good way to handle it and banner kinda eluded to the fact that they miscaculated things a bit with the new CBA/cap number.

    I've heard it on several shows on NFL Radio the last couple days while they talked about the Vick contract.

    I also heard that Johnson and the Titans are now getting close...lol.

    if they don't get dramatically better on the Oline Vick will collect that money injured. Teams figured him out late last year. Make him go right and he is screwed.

    True with injuries. He has problems with 3-4 defenses.

    A. It's 80 million and not 100 million
    B. It counts less against the cap than the franchise tag would, so we save money
    C. It's really only 3 years for 48 million (again less than franchise would) and can cut him and not owe anything after that
    D. It allows the Eagles to franchise DeSean if necessary.
    E. to recap, it saves money and allows the Eagles to keep DeSean if a contract cannot be agreed upon.

    People see a big number and don't take the time to understand the structure behind it. Figures most of those people are cowboy fans, math and comprehension not the strongest quality.

    How is paying someone a fat pay check before the season start going to light a fire under their butt. He already got paid, plus he's only played like 1 full season. I see him going down, and going down hard.

    The problem was his inability to find the hot read. Going right was an issue, but if he learns hot reads, he's gold.

    And that team that initially figured him out also let him orchestrate one of the best comebacks in NFL history. And he came back to make the Wild Card game close after looking subpar in the first half.

    This is why he deserved the contract. As good as he was last year, he can be even better. It was a crapload of money but so is the cost for a franchise QB and that's what the brass see him as.

    Note that this is really a 5 year, $80 million deal. 6th year voids if he plays 35% of the snaps in any of the first 5 seasons.

    a good o-line eliminates any "figuring out" nonsense.

    if the o-line plays well the eagles' offense is going to give each and every defense it faces a 60min curb job.

    Agreed. He has no incentive.

    Given what he's lost maybe the team showing this kind of faith in him does something for his morale. The fact someone is willing to take this much of a chance on him might give him a sense of "act right". It can also work by him going out and trying his damnedest to prove to the critics that think he's not worth that much money wrong. There are plenty of ways that it CAN light that fire and these are just a few.
