The Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is still negotiating with his team for his new contract. With two years left on his current four-year contract that was signed during his rookie season, Jackson thinks that it is time to raise his salary to match his on-field performance. He made it clear that he was unhappy with the current progress of the negotiation.
“There has been no progress so far,” Jackson told Tyler Dunne of The Philadelphia Daily News. “I’m looking forward to just working with them and hopefully making something happen.”
Jackson can earn a total salary of $3.47 million on his current contract, and he has earned $776,000 last season, including $385,000 in base salary and a $391,000 roster bonus. If he continues with current contract, he will earn $ 805,000 ($470,000 in base salary and a $335,000 roster bonus), and that’s definitely not what the receiver wants with his current fame.
Recently appearing in Brett Favre jersey in a youth football camp, Jackson said that he would still give the Eagles some time for negotiation and wanted the deal to be done before 2011 season. Otherwise he may seriously consider joining another team during next offseason.

Westbrook will not play this Sunday against Falcons
While the Atlanta Falcons are worrying about injuries to key offensive players, the Philadelphia Eagles are having no better time. Running back Brian Westbrook is still suffering post-concussion headache and wide receiver DeSean Jackson is recovering from head injury and is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons to battle for playoff spots in the NFC.
Sustaining two concussions in a three-week span, Westbrook needs more time to take care of his head before wearing back his Eagles jersey and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game, the third straight game to miss since being injured on Nov. 15. The former All-Pro running back saw concussion specialists this week in Pittsburgh again and will be re-examined in a week or two. What we expect is that he may increase his exercise regimen. But for playing game? Not likely in near future.
Jackson’s problem is also with the head. He sustained a head injury during last Sunday’s win over the Washington Redskins. But it seems that his condition is much better than Westbrook. At least Coach Andy Reid has not decided to rule him out for Sunday’s game, saying that the running back is making progress in recovering from the injury supposed to be concussion.
