    Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson apologized Sunday for letting his contract situation become a distraction this season and said he'd be OK if the team used its franchise tag on him if the sides can't agree to a long-term contract this offseason.

    "I can admit to certain things affecting me during the season. I just want to apologize," he told reporters. "I probably could have handled it a little bit different, but now sitting here after the season's over I can just say I was able to put it behind me and really just fight for my teammates, fight for my organization."

    When asked if he'd accept playing under a franchise tag, he answered, "why wouldn't I be?"

    "Hey, it'd be all right. God's got a plan, brother. I'm going to roll with it," he said, according to CSNPhilly.com.
