NFL Rumors - WalterFootball.com
The Seahawks/49ers/Panthers interests in Jackson have been squashed by local reporters. The Raiders/Jets are only interested if he is cut.
Alot of teams seem inclined to stay away from Jackson. Moss 2.0?
Alright Cousin. I have a suggestion:
Trade to benefit both Teams.
Would you do a blockbuster deal and trade Jackson to the Eagles for Wilfork?
We know the Eagles would be inclined to do so.
One of the local Jersey papers that cover the Eagles proposed a Trade for picks and the throw in piece being Siliga-

DeSean Jackson trade rumors: What could the New England Patriots or San Francisco 49ers give the Eagles? | NJ.com
If the Eagles could use a run stuffer and the Pats need a playmaker for Brady other than three kids, a one year wonder we hope can expand to further years, a viable player who is always hurt and a WR who might actually be a #3 or #4 we just signed....plus the good news Gronk and the bad, he is hurt too, perhaps both Teams accommodate.
Why just release these high tier players without compensation? Salaries and CAP hits are voodoo with these types of trades. Although I do not quite understand the implications as per Miguel here, what would be canceled out? Would both Teams regardless of trade, take a CAP hit or Dead Money hit?
My trade would involve multiple players to try to pigeon holes needs.
This is for fun.
Willfork:
$7.5m Salary $11.6m Cap hit
Amendola:
$3m Salary $4.57 Cap hit
Tavon Wilson:
Minimal ($773,444 but a CAP hit of a ridiculous $1.15m)
for
DeSean Jackson:
$10.5m Salary $12,75m CAP hit
James Casey:
$3.985 Salary $3.975 CAP hit
Vinny Curry:
Minimal($697,000 in 2014 and slightly more in 2015)
Why the others?
NBA like perhaps...... but the Eagles would need a WR. Macklin is coming off ACL.
They also need a back up Safety. No way Wilson gets a million in 2015 here.
The Pats need a move TE and Casey was successful in Houston as that and a FB too, but miscast on the Eagles as was Vinny Curry who still had five sacks in a rotation even though he is really a 4-3 DE.
It plugs three holes going forward that need to be addressed for the Pats.
It give Vince the out he requested.
With Jackson, Amendola is expendable.
The 2013 MIA Wilson for Curry in essence is a win for the Pats and solves the Pass rush rotation.
It give the Eagles the out on Jackson they obviously requested.
The Eagles made mistakes with Curry and Casey that would be more beneficial for the Pats depth chart.
Curry might be a sleeper pick up. Forced to play the Eagles 3-4 and not as effective. Might be a star as a 4-3 DE pass rusher.
I could live with Casey as move TE and Hooman as the line TE plus a kid in the Draft until Gronk gets back. Casey=Devlin as FB? He has as much speed as AH. In 2012 he caught 34 with 3 TDs and played special Teams. He played a lot of FB so he stats are underwhelming. Diverse signing. He was not a fit in Chip Kelleys' offense.
Thoughts?
