Desean Jackson tweets he is staying in Philadelphia

Tuesday morning: Desean Jackson has lifted a weight off his fans shoulders as he reported on twitter that he is staying in Philadelphia!
Good to Talk to BIg Chip today !! Say or hear what ya want !! The Picture speaks for itself !! Winner… http://instagram.com/p/l9Cs-DuNmJ/ 
Now this obviously has not been stated by anyone in the Eagles organization, but Chip Kelly met with the receiver and told him to "Be ready to work hard come training camp" which is encouraging. Of course their are fans that would be all for getting value for the receiver with all the weapons that the Eagles have, but this kind of talent adds another dimension to the offense. Some said that the Eagles could draft Brandin Cooks as a "replacement", others have said that because Sproles was signed there was no need for Desean......how is that even a logical statement at all? A running back that can play receiver is not the same as the deep threat that Jackson is. With Jackson, Maclin, Cooper, Ertz, McCoy, Celek, etc all under contract, this team can now focus on building the defense through the draft like expected before this whole Jackson mayhem. Or is it not over? Could the Eagles still trade Jackson? I feel it is highly unlikely anyone would want to take on his 10 million dollar contract and "attitude issues", but there is still a real possibility that he gets released. With all the memorable plays Jackson has made with the Eagles, seeing him leave would hurt the hearts of many fans so I am glad it seems to be working out in the other spectrum.....for now.
