PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - DeSean Jackson has reportedly signed with the Washington Redskins, a three year deal worth $24 million. The controversial decision by the Eagles to release Jackson, followed by him potentially signing in Washington, spurred a ton of fan reaction.
The WIP Morning Show asked on the Audio Roadshow app, "Are the Eagles better off without DeSean Jackson?" The vote was nearly split right down the middle. (Results Here)

@WIPMorningShow no they got nothing for him. 9, 14 and 18 are all question marks. Only proven weapon on O is shady!

@WIPMorningShow @SportsRadioWIP Nope I do not agree. Too much production to cut for no apparent reason. Cocky Chip is in for a surprise.

@WIPMorningShow have to assume Kelly isn't dumb enough to let him walk to a division rival if he thought it could burn them in the end

@WIPMorningShow @rheahughes Look for DeSean to ask Dan Snyder for new contract after he outperforms training camp. It'll never work there

@WIPMorningShow Desean = glass. Good move to release now. Best years are behind him...

@WIPMorningShow Whether it was right or wrong to let Jackson go, Chip will be vilified if the Redskins make the playoffs and Eagles don't

@WIPMorningShow Not much changed for Eagles fans overnight. They still get to watch DJ play two inspired games a year!?
— Tom Pitt (@tompittjr) April 2, 2014
@WIPMorningShow skins went 3-13 last year! They think spending $24 mil on Jackson will help?! #GoodLuckWithThat #FlyEaglesFly
— Hal (@nfcEAGLES) April 2, 2014
@WIPMorningShow I'm not worried abt Jackson playing 4 the Redskins. Signing with a rival because you're mad hardly ever works. #FlyEaglesFly
