DeSean arrives in Philadelphia with Rosenhaus

Share

Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson arrived at Philadelphia International Airport at about 8 p.m. on Sunday night making his first appearance in the area since holding out of Eagles training camp over a contract dispute.

Jackson declined to take questions on Sunday. Jackson's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, accompanied him.

Jackson has missed the first 12 days of camp, which includes one off day, while others have worked to make up missed time induced by the four-month NFL lockout that canceled mini camps and OTAs.

Jackson will very likely report to camp at Lehigh University by Monday, since players under contract who havent reported to their teams training camp by Tuesday do not receive a year of accrued pension credit -- and that means they dont become free agents after four years.

Jackson is entering his fourth year in the league.

Jackson can be fined 30,000 per day missed since Friday, when the league year officially began after the new CBA was ratified late last Thursday. It is not known if the Eagles organization has fined Jackson. If they did, he would owe 90,000.

Jackson, a two-time Pro Bowler, is slated to make 600,000 in base salary this season. The Eagles have said they are willing to negotiate a new deal with the big-time playmaker, but would not do so until Jackson reported to camp.

The Eagles open their preseason schedule Thursday at the Linc against the Baltimore Ravens.
