#3 He is a player Talib has proven unable to cover even when 100% healthy. This is a player that is specifically designed to help us beat Denver. That alone could be justification for getting him. I am curious what their answer would be.
Just some thoughts.
Jackson is a "me" first player. Don't see a good fit for him here. Seems to be a bit of a Dbag as well on the field
Are you f***in serious!? Do your research!
Browner - Suspended 4 games in 2012. Suspended indefinitely in 2013. Just recently reinstated. Still has to serve a 4 game suspension in 2014, and is one more screw up away from being permanently banned from the NFL. I don't care if he was "loved by team mates" the guy is still a risk with redflags.
Talib - malcontent at the end of his Buc days. Fist fight with fellow team mate at the rookie symposium. Beat up a taxi driver. Resisted arrest. Had a warrant issued against him for pulling a gun on his sisters boyfriend. Accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Never finished a full season. Ongoing hip issues.
Ocho Cinco - NFL's biggest attention wh*re after Terrell Owens.
DeSean Jackson isn't nearly as bad as any of them. It seems his only issue is a personality conflict with Chip Kelly. Belichick has enough respect around the league and in the locker room that Jackson wouldn't dare oppose him.
My point is, if BB was willing to take risks with those guys than Desean Jackson isn't as far fetched as you think. Here's a guy who is 27 years old and still in the prime of his career. Jackson is coming off his best season ever, unlike Moss/Haynesworth/OchoCinco, who mostly everyone thought had regressed and were on the down-end of their careers. If you want a true #1 WR to give to Tom Brady, than 10 mil is what you gotta pay. That's just how the league is.
We've guaranteed $1,000,000 of Browners contract. He's a 0 risk high reward player.
Stupid.
It's not just about money. The Pats are investing TIME with Browner. The coaches time, and all the reps he gets with the starting team ahead of Dennard/Ryan. They are risking all the potential distractions he could cause.
What if Browner is suspended the week before the playoffs? You don't think that risks being a huge distraction?
I'd rather trade for Justin Blackmon.
He just needs a new environment.
I like this one. Seriously, not one corner on the Broncos or Colts could cover this guy.
Would be so funny to see Talib struggle covering Jackson right after the Broncos overpaid him.

Comments like these blow my mind.
Blackmon has a REAL PROBLEM. He is an alcoholic who hasn't changed his ways yet (see how many times he has apologized/been found guilty).
Jackson is a punk but he hasn't been arrested to my knowledge.
These aren't comparable.

You really need to read into what his suspensions were for before you start making him out to be some really terrible guy
Drugs.
I'm not making him out to be a terrible guy. That's NOT my point.
My point is, BB and the Pats are willing to take huge risks on players who have had issues, but a lot of upside.
So Desean Jackson isn't as far-fetched as some people in this thread are making him out to be.
No, because he'll be banned from the team facilities if suspended.
Jackson is a malcontent making 12 million a year with an injury history who thinks he's underpaid.
Bull****! Like what?It's about the slew of other problems surrounding him.
I'm not willing to commit that to DJax.
