Eagles’ DeSean Jackson clarifies contract talk
By Mike Dyce
The Philadelphia Eagles made the playoffs this year and were unfortunately eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. After they were eliminated, wide receiver DeSean Jackson made a bit of a stir when he said he wanted a new contract. Currently, Jackson has three years left on a deal that will pay him more than $30 million.
Jackson spoke out with a statement released on his Instagram. When did a photosharing app become the choice for sharing statements?
“To clarify any info that yall [sic] people got twisted up,” Jackson said. “I didn’t ask for a new contract . . . I’m blessed to be at the level where I feel my stats did the talking . . . Injury free year & healthy and wish the season would have ended different with a ring . . . But I’m hopeful that will happen soon . . . Don’t listen to mixed words I didn’t say . . . Tired of dumb info being twisted to what I didn’t say word up!!”
“The question was brought to me I didn’t bring it up!!” Jackson said. “Know ya info before speaking str8 like dat.”
