Eagles’ Jackson ending holdout?
August 1 Yahoo! Sports
It looks like Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson doesn’t want to be fined $30,000 a day for holding out anymore. FOX Sports has it that WPVI-TV in Phladelphia is reporting that Jackson “plans to end his holdout for a new contract.” A source to the station reports that the 24-year-old two-time Pro Bowler, who is in the last year of a four-year contract that will pay him $560,000 this season, will be back in camp Monday or Tuesday.”

Nnamdi: Eagles were always my top choice
August 1 Camden Courier-Post
The Eagles are one of the NFL’s most successful franchises over the past decade, but they still haven’t won a title. Nnamdi Asomugha is the NFL’s best cornerback over the past five years.

A winning organization for more than a decade of the Lurie/Banner/Reid regime, the team has had plenty of support in Philadelphia.
