Notes: Jackson Owes Rosenhaus 500K
An NFLPA arbitrator found that DeSean Jackson owes Drew Rosenhaus over $500,000, according to a report.
Per Rand Getlin of Yahoo! Sports, it was determined that Jackson owes his former agent a grand total of $516,415 in unpaid loans and agent fees.
Rosenhaus filed a grievance alleging that Jackson took multiple loans from him between 2009-2012. The two parted ways last May. Jackson went on to sign with Joel Segal.
An NFLPA arbitrator found that Rosenhaus giving Jackson $50,000 cash, and a $90,000 check at the time of his signing was not an inducement.

Part of what DeSean Jackson owes to Rosenhaus came in the form of a $375,000 interest-free loan he received from the agent when he signed.

Rosenhaus negotiated Jackson’s five-year, $48 million contract with the Eagles. The team cut Jackson just two seasons into that deal. Jackson’s agreement with the Redskins — which includes $16 million guaranteed — was negotiated by Segal, who will now be the one getting a percentage of the wideout’s earnings.
Long To Visit Eagles
Nebraska guard Spencer Long is scheduled to visit with the Eagles, according to Adam Caplan.
Long (6-5, 320) played right guard for Nebraska and started in 33 games. He suffered an MCL injury six games into last season. Long was a Second Team All-American selection in 2012. NFL.com projects that he will go in the third or fourth round this May. Here is part of their write-up on him:
Big, tough, physical, ornery blocker with starter-quality positional traits and intangible qualities. Is best in a phone booth, where he excels as a run and pass blocker, and is smart and savvy enough to contribute outside in emergency situations.
The Eagles have also reportedly brought in Texas guard Trey Hopkins and USC G/C Marcus Martin. A list of the Eagles pre-draft visits can be found here.
