DeSean Jackson will get the franchise tag

Beat writer Jeff McLane reports that the Eagles will use their franchise tag on WR DeSean Jackson. That will pay the combustible playmaker about $9.5 million in 2012.  Of course, the tag wouldn't guarantee that D-Jax remains in Philly.  The Eagles could tag-and-trade him. The Patriots, Ravens, and 49ers are teams we've heard mentioned as potential suitors.  But we're betting on the Eagles hanging on to Jackson for what feels like a Super Bowl or bust kind of season.
