Vick said he spoke with the disaffected wideout Saturday night.

“I can tell you he’s excited to be back,” Vick said. “He’s ready to come back and play football this season, ready to come back and handle his business, be the consummate teammate. He’s going to come in and let his play speak for itself, come in with a different attitude.”

The Eagles are believed to be somewhere around $4 million under the salary cap. They might need to do an extension with Vick – on the books at a $16 million cap number after being franchised – before they can break the bank for DeSean.

“I’m not concerned about that. We haven’t talked about it,” Vick said. “We both are important to the team. Whoever goes first, it doesn’t matter. I think our play ought to speak for itself.”

Jackson might be planning to have Rosenhaus speak for him today. At least, that was why the last Eagles diva receiver brought his Miami-based agent to Lehigh with him, in 2005. That day, Terrell Owens wore noise-canceling headphones and camouflage, leaving Rosenhaus to articulate his demand for a reworked contract, which Owens never got until he moved on to Dallas after that season.

It’s pretty unlikely the Eagles are going to sit down with Rosenhaus today. In fact Eagles president Joe Banner won’t be at Lehigh today.

The Eagles have agreed, going back to last season, that Jackson has outperformed the contract he signed as a rookie in 2008. Jackson is scheduled to make about $600,000 this season.

Now we’ll see if Marty Mornhinweg is allowed to speak to Jackson before Jackson speaks to him, or if Hugh Douglas is available for physical confrontations.
