Desean Jackson Released

[Zorn76]

I dunno.

Jackson is no doubt a solid talent, but his "me 1st" approach would have to change, pronto. RW also spreads the ball around a lot, which means that individual WR stats are going to be less than what they'd be elsewhere.

The worse team he plays for, the more likely he's tempted to run his mouth, IMO.

Like I said, not in the least bothered by them not making a play for him, just see the logistical nightmares that would present for opposing defenses in matching up.....

I think the single biggest reason that it's unlikely the Seahawks get involved, (at least beyond doing their due diligence), is the draft is chock full of good WR prospects. Why pay a bunch of money for a WR with red flags, when you can get one in the draft who you will have under contract for 4-5 years for much less money than it would take to get Jackson?
If ever there was a year to draft a WR this has to be it. I see players projected to go as late as the fourth round, who are Seahawks types of receiver, and could possibly play as #4 WR from day one.

When you think about it, there's just really no reason to spend a bunch of money on a guy with red flags with this kind of draft coming up.
Besides, I see at LEAST two guys (Beckham and Cooks) who I think will be every bit as good or better than Jackson who are both very similar type of players in terms of size, speed, shiftiness etc... They both physically look like Jackson and would likely play similar roles on whatever team drafts them.

Good points.
Considering the team hasn't yet re-signed Baldwin and let Tate walk, you wouldn't want to piss off the team by spending way more money on another player that didn't help win a Super Bowl.

So Jackson is now officially a Redskin...

SF apparently had interest, but it wasn't ever close to happening, and that's fine with me:) Though if he had landed on the 49ers, I could see that becoming a troubled relationship with Harbaugh:)

Good for Jackson. Now he gets to face his old team twice a year. They threw snowballs at Santa, if he should be so lucky...
