    DeSean's Holdout, not a smart idea....

    Really starting to feel like this relationship between D JAx & the Birds front office is falling apart... With the new CBA he has until aug 11 to show up or the eagles will own him for the following year as well...He also will be fined 100k ( about 1/5 of his salary) if he doesn't show up... De'sean just doesn't seem to have any leverage right now, and im confused on what he has to gain by holding out under the new CBA...

    This eagles offense would lose its explosiveness if he sits out the entire year...


    Its the last organization you try to pull this shit on, guess its just a wait and see from this point on...

    i mean he clearly has outplayed a 565k contract and i understand he is fragile.

    Anyone know how much cap space birds have left after adding jenkins & mathis...

    If he is afraid to return punts, he is barely a top 15 wr.

    Him and Chris Johnson both. Tennessee has already told Johnson they will not negotiate if he is not in camp.

    With the new rules in place he has no leverage at all.

    Thinks this guy needs to sit down with a good agent and understand the new landscape in the NFL.

    Clearly he is way under paid.
