Even after signing a five-year deal worth almost $50 million dollars in 2012, including a $10 million signing bonus, Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson says he feels he deserves a raise.
Jackson is set to make $10.5 million, including a workout bonus, in 2014, and made $7 million this season, per ESPN.com.
Jackson was the Eagles leading receiver in a re-vamped offense led by first year coach Chip Kelly, hauling in 82 receptions for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns. The Eagles offense also featured breakout wide receiver Riley Cooper who saw action as the Eagles number 2 wide out due to the absence of Jeremy Maclin who suffered a season ending ACL injury in training camp. The Eagles also had the NFL's leading rusher in LeSean McCoy.
The real question for the Eagles this off-season: Is Jackson's performance worthy of a raise, or was his performance simply the product of Chip's new high-powered offensive system?
