The wide receiver, who attended the NFL Honors Show on Saturday, said that he did not know where he stood with the Eagles. “It’s out of my hands,” Jackson told NBC10 during a brief red carpet interview. “So hopefully I am and I will look forward to that. I’m just anxious to see what’s going to happen.” Jackson’s four-year contract is up, but the Eagles have the option to place a one-year franchise tag on the 25-year-old beginning Feb. 20. Asked again Saturday if he would be OK with the tag, Jackson said, “I’m not talking about that right now. I’m here for the Super Bowl, man.” Indications, though, are that the Eagles and Jackson, who is represented by agent Drew Rosenhaus, are far apart in their estimation of his worth. “I have no clue,” Jackson said when he was asked if the two parties had bridge the gap. “I don’t know. Still don’t know.” Source: Philadelphia Inquirer (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/eagles/DeSean-Future-with-Eagles-out-of-my-hands.html)

Whether or not you agree with Reid statement regarding Jackson’s performance, it’s a good indication that he trying his best to make things work with him in Philadelphia.

He’s going to be a part of their team.” The Patriots are believed to be willing to offer Welker a two or three year contract but he’s been holding out hope for a better deal. The tag will cost the Patriots $9.4 million which is a drop of almost $2 million since last season. Welker will be 31 at the start of the 2012 season and his ability is derived from his speed so it could be that the Patriots are reluctant to commit to a long-term deal because his production is susceptible to a decline in the coming years. That’s purely speculative but slot receivers must be fast enough to beat young cornerbacks and the recent market for wide receivers in their mid-to-late thirties hasn’t exactly been that great.

DeSean has said that he’s open to being franchised but that move carries a $9.5 million price tag and Eagles could certainly use that money elsewhere. Jackson has proven to be a great weapon when properly motivated but the question marks that currently surround him will most likely limit the amount of money he’ll make during free agency.

Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Eagles’ offensive coordinator interviewed with the Raiders yesterday for their head coaching vacancy. Mornhinweg traveled to Oakland for the interview and left without being hired. The 49-year-old journeyman coach is in the running for the position, but the Raiders have interviewed several other candidates including Dolphins interim head coach Todd Bowles. There was speculation that Mornhinweg would make a run at the opening in Indianapolis, but the Eagles have yet to receive a request from Mornhinweg for permission to talk to the Colts.
