Report: DeSean to sign franchise tag 'ASAP'
DeSean Jackson - WR - Philadelphia Eagles
March 1, 2012 - 6:05 PM ET
Tim McManus of Philly Sports Daily reports free agent DeSean Jackson plans to sign his franchise tag tender "ASAP."
The Eagles have shown a willingness to rescind the tag, but it's at least mildly surprising that Jackson and agent Drew Rosenhaus wouldn't believe they could top $9.5 million per year on the open market. Perhaps they realize other teams view Jackson as a head case in need of image repair. Rosenhaus indicated early in the week that he'd "roll up his sleeves" in hopes of converting the franchise tag to a long-term contract.
