        impacted by contract issue last year

        Eagles WR coach David Culley could tell that DeSean Jackson's mind was on his contract situation throughout last season.  "He tried not to let it affect him," Culley said.  "Sometimes he didn't do a very good job of that. It affected him in meetings. It affected him on the field. There were days when it didn't. But it made him inconsistent."  Culley also thinks D-Jax was afraid to go over the middle because of the money issue, but that's always been a problem for him.  With a new 5-year, $47 million deal in hand, we're expecting Jackson to be more focused and more productive in 2012.  He's still a one-dimensional receiver, though, and will be an inconsistent week-to-week fantasy option.
