Donovan McNabb responds to WR DeSean Jackson's comments - ESPN: "Redskins' McNabb moving on from pastEmail Print Comments2662 Share1258 Retweet154 ESPN.com news services
Donovan McNabb has to be getting used to being dismissed by his one-time go-to receivers by now, right?
“
I don't think we lost anything, even with McNabb being gone.
”
-- DeSean Jackson
DeSean Jackson is the latest receiver to belittle McNabb's contributions to the Philadelphia Eagles, telling The Sporting News he was 'very happy with the decision' by the Eagles to trade McNabb to the Washington Redskins last month.
Jackson also said: 'I don't think we lost anything, even with McNabb being gone.'
On Saturday, McNabb took the high road in responding to Jackson's comments.
'It's so wild when people get to talking when you're not there, but when you're there everybody loves you,' McNabb said.
'So I guess people will go deeper into it than I will. I'm a Redskin, no longer an Eagle. I had 11 great years and I'm moving on with my life, so whoever may say things when I'm gone, more power to them, but it's not making you look like a bigger man.'
“
It's so wild when people get to talking when you're not there, but when you're there everybody loves you.
”
-- Donovan McNabb
Jackson has excelled in his two NFL seasons, amassing 2,079 yards and 11 touchdowns. Two of those touchdowns were thrown by Kevin Kolb, who will replace McNabb as the Eagles' starting quarterback this season.
McNabb, of course, also had a falling out with Terrell Owens when the star receiver was a member of the Eagles"

Adam 'Pacman' Jones signs two-year deal with Cincinnati Bengals - ESPN
Adam 'Pacman' Jones signs two-year deal with Cincinnati Bengals - ESPN: "Pacman to practice with team TuesdayEmail Print Comments26 Share57 Retweet43 ESPN.com news services
CINCINNATI -- Adam Jones signed with the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday, putting the troubled cornerback on a team with a history of giving players second chances.
ESPN.com's John Clayton first reported the deal Thursday. According to a source, the Bengals inserted language in the contract -- which covers two seasons -- to protect themselves in case Jones gets in trouble off the field.
The Bengals said in a news release that Jones would practice with the team Tuesday.
Cincinnati also announced on Monday the signing of safety Gibril Wilson, who had 91 tackles for the Miami Dolphins last season. Wilson's one-year deal is slightly above the league minimum of $630,000 but it also includes incentives.
Jones, who was released by the Cowboys after the 2008 season and didn't play last year, worked out for the Bengals twice this offseason, including last Tuesday. He was selected by Tennessee in the first round of the 2005 draft, but has struggled to stay on the field because of his repeated arrests."
