DeSean Jackson doesn’t speak his mind, obviously.

No one can really get a straight answer out the guy. He knows he’s got options. Even Redskins.com Senior Writer And Content Coordinator Stephen Czarda, can’t get him to say the words “I want to come back.”

Let’s be real for a moment: The only reason Jackson left the Philadelphia Eagles was because of their former Coach Chip Kelly. He is now also the former coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Up to that point, who thought he would ever done burgundy and gold colors? So what if he finished the season with 1005 yards receiving and four touchdowns. That my friends, means nothing.

If I were DeSean Jackson, I’d walk. Here’s why:

DeSean Jackson isn’t the bluff card played against the hardest opponents. He’s not a distraction. He’s a contributor, a major player, not a roleplayer. If he stays with the Redskins that is what he’ll be. I don’t know if he wants to share the touches. The Redskins have several weapons on the receiving end of the ball. For him to leave would be unfortunate, but not missed. There’s a part he wants to play, and I don’t think this team has a plan for him. There’s no certain tone that says he’s all in. It would take big money to hear him say, “I want to stay a Redskin”, but who wants that as a reason?

If there’s ever a time to walk, the time is now. I think he will.
