WR DeSean Jackson gets his much-desired long-term deal from Eagles

Since the beginning of last season, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson @DeseanJackson10 had let it be known repeatedly that he wasn't happy with his contract. He should be happy now. Surprisingly, the Eagles agreed to terms with Jackson on a five-year contract worth up to $51 million including $15 million guranteed Wednesday. Jackson's stats dipped in 2011 from his two previous campaigns, and he was suspended for one game after missing a team meeting leading up to what turned out to be the Eagles' Nov. 13 loss versus Arizona. Before this signing, Jackson had been scheduled to make $9.4 million this season under the franchise tag.

Fantasy Analysis:

Maybe Jackson will now just be quiet and play the game. He'll always be a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option because of his fantastic speed to go along with his lack of desire to go over the middle. He's not a complete receiver, and his on-field effort level has been questioned numerous times. The big contract doesn't change my thought that he's a WR2 at best.
