Report: Jackson to end holdout

DeSean Jackson will end his hold out and report to Eagles training camp either Monday or Tuesday, according to a report from 6ABC.
Jackson has not reported to Eagles training camp, and while neither he nor his representatives have said anything about the situation, it's well known that he has wanted a new contract that matches his value as a Pro Bowl wide receiver. Jackson does not have a new contract, 6ABC reported.
The Eagles reported to Lehigh on Wednesday, but players were given until Thursday to report before facing any penalties, because of the quick re-start after the NFL lockout. The team only began padded practices Sunday. Jackson could be fined $30,000 for every day of camp he missed, though the team has not commented on any disciplinary action.
Because of his hold out and the lockout, Jackson has not worked with the team since the Eagles season ended in January. With Jeremy Maclin also out of training camp due to an illness, the Eagles have been missing their top two wide receivers.
Jackson's agent and spokesman did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
everybody already knows that the Eagles are going to pay him... He just need to show up. The Eagles are not stupid as you can see with the latest signings. Now i hope they sign Randy Moss for a year or 2... we need a tall WR...— Cool 1- DJax is a good reciever, but has trouble against physical Corners. He has some monster games, but then almost disappears for others. To be a top receiver, you must perform well almost every day. Granted, a concussion like the one he had would make most anyone have alligator arms, but he will never get any bigger. His game is one dimensional, all deep. I like him, don't get me wrong, but he is an elite deep threat, not all around receiver. Just sayin.— chris_r

- He signed the contract now play. I bet if he was a bust he wouldn't be saying take the money back. If you can't play under your current contract than you shoudn't have signed it. And another thing, FIRE REID— Bubba James
