How good is DJax? How much will he produce? Will he be an attitude problem?
Clearly, DJax does not suck. He is not slow either. But how good is he really? Some say he is overrated. Here is one man’s (WalterFootball.com) take before Jackson’s year with Chip Kelly:
DeSean Jackson is a Washington Redskin.
Let that sink in for a second.
I’ll say it again now that you have had time to ready your burgundy and gold brain for the news, DeSean Jackson is a Washington Redskin.
Late Tuesday night, the 27-year old wide receiver agreed to terms with Washington, and instantly became the Redskins’ crown jewel of the 2014 offseason. Anyone in the Redskins Nation twitterverse has been watching with bated breath for the last 24 hours, as rumors swirled, and speculation mounted, as to whether or not a deal with Jackson was, or could get done.
After eight long years, Ryan Clark has returned to the Washington Redskins on a one-year deal. While his play on the field should be a marked improvement, his leadership is invaluable, and the Redskins defense just got a whole lot smarter, and a lot more mature.
Most Redskin fans remember – with chagrin – that Clark went on to experience great success when he left Washington. He spent eight seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he roamed the secondary, smacking heads. He registered over 100 tackles twice, including 102 last year when he was also a team captain.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving last night. He was also charged with possession of a controlled substance.
Its fun to guess what the controlled substance might be, when you look back at the pics that the guy tweeted during the playoffs…
By now you must have heard about the Twitter beef last night between the Redskins DeAngelo Hall and Richard Sherman. What started as some casual banter quickly turned into a full-blown back-and-forth between two of the league’s most outspoken defensive backs. For fans, it was peak entertainment: two Pro Bowl corners trading barbs in real time, and giving us an unfiltered look at their competitive fire.
It was fun. It was very 2014. It was… epic…
And on the third day, came some defense.
While none of the names that were inked on Thursday were at the top of too many people’s wish lists, all three signings were players that can help on the defensive side of the ball.

With a plethora of holes to fill on both sides of the ball, the Washington Redskins kicked off the 2014 Free Agent period with a couple of additions, and a low key approach. Here’s a look at the roster changes yesterday:
The Redskins 2014 free agency period began with the team retaining key members of their 2013 roster — Brian Orakpo, DeAngelo Hall, Perry Riley, and Chris Baker. With lots of room in cap space for Redskins 2014 free agency moves, the team is expected to be highly active in the market.

Entering free agency with an abundance of cap space gives the Redskins lots of options to fill plenty of needs and pursue their top Redskins free agency targets 2014. Even after re-signing cornerback DeAngelo Hall, defensive tackle Chris Baker, safety Jose Gumbs and franchising linebacker Brian Orakpo, Washington has significant financial flexibility to address roster holes.
The Redskins dropped off dramatically after a division title in 2012, returning to the NFC East basement in 2013 with a 3-13 record. That collapse, coupled with their $36 million cap penalty for 2012 and 2013, makes identifying the right Redskins free agency targets 2014 more important than normal.
Washington allowed the second most points per game (29.9) in 2013, meaning defensive players will dominate their Redskins free agency targets 2014 list. So who might the Redskins target to improve their roster? Let’s examine the players Washington reportedly has in their sights based on reports from local beat writers.
