Figured I'd start the conversation rolling...The following is an article from ProFootballTalk.com. I have to say that as an Eagle fan I'm not surprised they're shopping him around after signing Darren Sproles. I think it's a bad move because the team lacks a number one receiver and shipping out DeSean isn't going to fill that gap on the depth chart. Problem is he's a huge cap hit and can have a bad attitude at times. On the field he's an explosive playmaker who can break out on any play.

The defending Super Bowl champions are reportedly among the clubs who may be intrigued by Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson.
According to Jason La Canfora of CBS, the Seahawks have expressed “interest” in the 27-year-old Jackson, who has been at the center of increasing trade speculation.
La Canfora also reported that the 49ers — who have already been linked to Jackson — are also among the teams who have considered the Eagles’ star wide receiver.
The Seahawks added dynamic playmaking wide receiver Percy Harvin last offseason. Were Jackson to join the fold, the Seahawks would boast field-stretching ability few other teams possess. Likewise, Jackson would bolster the 49ers’ passing game, which has three top targets in tight end Vernon Davis and wideouts Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin.
These are fun scenarios to ponder. However, unanswered is why there is so much trade chatter about such a skilled player. There is also the matter of working out a deal for Jackson, who is due $10.5 million in salary in 2014, per Rotoworld data.
