Being reported in a few sources (linked by PFT) that Jackson has been displaying some very diva-like behavior, including refusing to field punts in practice, trying to avoid any sort of short or crossing routes because he might have to take a hit and spending more time texting his agent than paying attention in practice.

Some have also said he's "alligator-arming", i.e. not going all out for passes thrown to him if it looks like he might take a hit. In the midst of this, Jackson is also lobbying for a big payday.

Story is that some of his Eagle teammates are a tad "put off" by this. And Eagle head Coach Andy Reid reportedly ripped him a new one after one of their most recent games.

Do you sympathize, given that he's already suffered a couple of concussions, or do you think he's being a pansy?

what happened to ricky watters?

After years of being great in San Fran, he signed a free agent contract with the Eagles. And the first big impression he made on the fanbase was alligator-arming a pass late in a game that the Eagles eventually lost. After the game, he defiantly said he wasn't going to go all out in those kinds of situations and risk himself.

Fans, teammates and coaches did not respond favorably.

Ricky Watters was actually good. Real real good. Some think HoF good (not me personally but yeah) Desean Jackson is nowhere close to how good Watters was.

Very good, but also selfish, and not necessarily a "team first" kind of guy.

Jackson is pretty good too, but he's a relatively thin guy, and he's been vulnerable to the big hit.

      Well this is not a positive development for the team in the slightest. We just got a lot thinner at a very thin position.

      Terrible news all around. Concussion demon takes another panther- Luke, oher, and now jewell. Panthers seemed to want to re-do the contract and Jewell didn't want too, that's a sign that he's retired for good.    I've already arm-chair GM this, its bad. Just nothing on the market, not even a Cloweny-like cut waiting for the right team. Trade wise, another big bad. Jags may have two- former 1st round Lloyd . Member the CJ Henderson trade, Panthers sent a 3rd- Chad Muma was used on that pick. He's done near nothing, but listed as LB and  he's in the last year of deal. Jags drafted two MLBs this yr. Drew Sanders from broncos former 3rd coming off a torn ach......ugh he's young! Channing Tindall of the phins, another 3rd rounder in the final year without doing much.. Brian Asamoah of the Viking, 3rd rounder in the final year without doing much.......     Cuts seemed to be the best path, by far. I don't know if Dan should trade swap 6th for one of those 3rd round duds and a 7th.      Panthers are going to need a huge surprise from Bam Martin, windom(statered some last yr), or the other UDFA Nomura.  That's the best hope right now, someone on the current roster shows up and shocks everyone while they take over a starting MLB job.
