The worst-kept secret in the NFL has been confirmed: DeSean Jackson will be joining the Washington Redskins.

DeSean was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles last week over a number of reasons, which include his attitude, contract, work ethic and alleged gang ties. There was interest in him from a number of teams shortly thereafter, but the Redskins quickly emerged as the strongest suitor.
Jackson was recruited by Kevin Durant, Robert Griffin III, Pierre Garcon and DC-based rapper Wale. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall wasted no time welcoming him to the team:
@DeseanJackson10 congrats lil bro welcome to Redskins Nation. @RGIII @PierreGarcon @DeAngeloHall23 @Wale @John_Wall huge making it happen!!!
