DJack alleges Rosenhaus bribed him

DeSean Jackson alleges that former agent Drew Rosenhaus, who he owes $400,000, bribed him into signing with Rosenhaus Sports.
Always some drama surrounding Jackson.

Obviously that would be an issue with the NFL Players Association, which keeps an eye on agents.

Jackson told TMZ a chunk of the loot was jammed into a Luis Vuitton bag.

It's been a strange year for Jackson.

Jackson reported his South Philly place was robbed. Then he was released by the Eagles in late March. Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said it was "purely a football decison."

Jackson thinks about getting even with the Eagles "Every time I step on the field"

In the unlikely event anyone has forgotten, former Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson "definitely" vows to show Chip Kelly what a mistake he made getting rid of him.

Appearing on the NFL Network after a Redskins practice Tuesday, Jackson called his shocking late March release by the Eagles "humbling" and how he's using it as motivation for the first of two games against them this season.

"I think about that every time I step on the field," Jackson said. "Especially with the legacy I have in Philadelphia and the things I've done for the organization.

"That process I went through was definitely humbling. Week Three, that is highlighted., that is circled on the calendar ... I can't wait to get it on with whoever we play against but for sure that game you know I'm ready to turn it up."



Eagles are always on his mind.
Interesting;ly Jackson didn't mention Nick Foles, the quarterback who factored heavily in his career 2013 season with the Eagles, when talking about teammate Robert Griffin III. Jackson said Griffin is accountable much like Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick were while they were Eagles.

"I see a lot of characteristics in him that I saw in the Michael Vicks and the McNabbs," Jackson said. "To be accountable at a young age ... Holding everybody accountable at the same time."

DJax, Asante stuff on sale

Jackson: 'I’ve never seen Coach do that'

The Linc last Sunday without DJax
Sounds like DeSean Jackson, Eagles head coach Andy Reid and the front office aren't on the same page.

Sounds like there really is  some sort of  power struggle going on based on Michael Irvin's NFL Network interview of 

Jackson, part of which ran Wednesday.

Jackson was scratched Sunday after missing an 8:30 a.m. Saturday meeting.

Reid said no one, himself included, was above the team.
Jackson apologized to teammates. Four days after being disciplined, he suggested he was made an example of. And not necessarily by Reid.

Irvin: “You missed the special teams meeting, but you got there for a team meeting. You were 20 minutes late, 25 minutes late. Is this protocol to not let the guy play at all?”

Jackson: “Honestly, I’ve never seen Coach Reid do anything like that. I’ve never seen him bench anybody for missing a meeting.”

Jackson later said his lateness was unacceptable.

"But I’ve never been a problem, never been a distraction," he said. "I just come to work and do my thing.”

Two weeks ago Asante Samuel said  there was a power struggle among Reid, team president Joe Banner and general manager Howie Roseman.
