Philly.com just posted a story that says DeSean Jackson remains unhappy about his contract.  And guess who's to blame?  Drew Rosenhaus, baby.

DeSean Jackson is worried about getting a contract extension and allowing the situation to be a distraction, according to sources close to the Eagles wide receiver.

Jackson's preoccupation with negotiating a new deal and getting paid has been spurred by his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, the sources said. One of the manifestations, they say, is that Jackson spends an inordinate amount of time texting with Rosenhaus during the Eagles' work day.

Pause.

We're shocked.  

You mean when D-Jac said that it was all about winning, he wasn't be truthful?  The guy who Tweeted things like:

big ups to BIG BRO Len Weaver for gett'n that NEW Contract!! U paid n0w boi congrats.. I wanna be like u… LOL

I'm bout to move like the wind ya hear me!! On this trip to philly for couple days to handle some things get this bread…. 1 time

Had that good work out earlier I'm bac on ma shit now money is the moto

 

and rants like:

I wish I was in My city cali kingdom.. Westcoast wassup !! Congrats to My bro D Revis 32 guaranteed thats big bread… Lookn good buddy

Set the tables high for ya brah… I'm coming asap just know that… Gotta make it happen…

It's only right like big brO SNOOP!! SAY AND YA DO KNO THAT… NEPHEW

CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH!!!!! CUUUUUUUUUUUHZ

 

… isn't in it solely to bring a championship to Philadelphia?  How rude.

For realsies, for a sec.  Rosenhaus is a dick, and he's certainly not going to help a guy develop a "team player" attitude, but the texting comment makes it seems as though D-Jac does nothing other than text sweet-money-nothings to his agent all day long.  He has kept his mouth shut (sans Twitter) for most of the season and seems to have developed a good rapport with Vick.  Some credit is due there.

What's interesting, is that his obvious desire to get his deserved money is permeating his attitude, at least to the point that the team has taken notice.  And that is not a good thing.

Then again, are we really surprised by this?  CHUUUUCH CHUUUUUZ
