DeSean Jackson: "I didn't ask for a new contract"

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson denies that he asked for a new contract, when he stated he deserved a pay rise for his 2013 performances.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson has denied that he was asking for a new contract, when he stated he deserved a pay rise.

The 27-year-old caught 82 passes on the season for 1,332 yards along with nine touchdowns, and he felt that his performances in the 2013 campaign justified an increase in his wage.

Jackson said on his Instagram page: "To clarify any info that yall [sic] people got twisted up. I didn't ask for a new contract, I'm blessed to be at the level where I feel my stats did the talking.

"Injury free year & healthy and wish the season would have ended different with a ring. But I'm hopeful that will happen soon. Don't listen to mixed words I didn't say. Tired of dumb info being twisted to what I didn't say word up!!"

The Eagles crashed out of the playoffs at the hands of the New Orleans Saints last week.
