As he nears free agency, DeSean Jackson says that he would like to remain with the Redskins. Of course, that comes with the usual caveats. 
“I do want to still be here,” Jackson told Stephen Czarda of Redskins.com. “My family and my house, I have everything here and I don’t want to be in a transaction and move. First things first, I do want to be here and hopefully we can make it work. But once again this is a business so things happen. I’m just really excited about the opportunity I have to sit and now the ball’s in my corner a little bit and see what we can do. I’m just excited and I’m going to let my agent care of all that. Ready to just sit back and whatever offers come in but obviously, like I said, I do want to be here.”
In late 2016, we heard that Jackson is eyeing a reunion with the Eagles. Those rumors gained steam when Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham and ex-Eagles running back LeSean McCoy indicated that Jackson had told them the same thing. Jackson may be intrigued by the idea of closing out his career in Philly, but he’s also making it known that he would like to remain in D.C. Meanwhile, the Redskins might not want him back and they may prefer the idea of keeping Pierre Garcon.
In 15 games this season, Jackson had 56 catches for 1,005 yards and four touchdowns.
What the hell is he waiting on? A long term absurd contract? He will be waiting on contract offers alright. But it won’t be what he thinks.
He is a good serviceable receiver. Still makes bone head mistakes. I think a move to the slot would really bring out some potential. But I guess he is too damn small and skinny to get nailed crossing the middle!
“Hey DeSean!! Go sign with the Pats! Brady will turn you into a bona fide stud!!!”
