Jackson signed a five-year, $48.5-million deal last month after earlier being hit with the franchise tag by the Eagles. "We're very happy for DeSean," Vick said. "It was overdue. He finally got a chance to reap the benefits on how hard he worked." With the big contract, however, Vick said that Jackson will face even greater expectations to produce like the player who made Pro Bowls in 2009 and 2010. "We expect him to work harder than before and give the organization everything he can," Vick said. ... It's a good message for the leader of the team to send -- and one we hope Jackson will heed.
