Upon signing with the Philadelphia Eagles after the lockout, quarterback Vince Young declared his new team to be the "Dream Team". That dream quickly turned into a nightmare, as the Eagles finished 8-8 and missed the post-season.
Eagles Free Agency 2012: DeSean Jackson Could Receive Franchise Tag
Young is one of the team's 11 free agents entering the 2012 off-season, a list that also includes wide receiver DeSean Jackson, a two-time Pro Bowler who has been less than happy with having to play out his rookie deal. Jackson caught 58 passes for 961 yards and four touchdowns, a down year for him considering his big-play capability. That rare talent could prompt the Eagles to use the franchise tag, which is projected to be worth nearly $9.5 million in 2012.
