This season is a lost cause. I'd rather sign a guy who has at least 3 years here and can build with TL.

There is the potential he could actually be here beyond this year.
This team has so many needs, they may not get the chance to add a speed WR-even assuming they could correctly evaluate the WRs in the draft in the first place.
Right now, out biggest deep threat WR was a DB just last season.
Go ahead and sign Jackson to a deal. See what Trevor can do with an accomplished WR with speed.

We already have speed with Jamal Agnew, Tyron Johnson, etc.
I want someone who can get open because that is what we are severely lacking - even with Marvin Jones, who I like, but I think he falls more in line with being an average player more than anything. And unfortunately, we won't find that until this offseason with potential FA's like Godwin and others being in the market.
DeSean, while certainly fast, absolutely benefited from Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, and even Van Jefferson absolutely carving out the intermediate routes by getting OPEN consistently.
If he can catch, sign him..
Meh I guess. Hard to even care at this point lol

Agnew and Johnson aren't nearly as polished or as accomplished as Jackson. It's insulting to Jackson to put them in his category, even at this late stage in his career.
I don't assert Jackson is the ideal #1 WR for a young QB to grow with.
But in the short term, he should provide some help.
Of course, this means the team won't sign him.

Just need someone who can catch the ball. I sould sign him too.
I would sign him as short term help, which is needed, not as a long term answer.

we might have speed in those two, but I might bring Jackson in short-term just to teach them some of his tricks. I doubt he'll sign here if he gets more than one offer, though.
Jags have a top WR, but they refuse to play him. they got Jeff cotton on pratice squad still. hes very fast,and able to get open.

lay off the sauce, snows.
I would have loved to sign him 5 years ago.
DeSean Jackson was not claimed on waivers by any team. He is now a free agent.
Rumor has it that he is going to sign with the Raiders.
