"The Eagles' off-season officially began last Saturday at 11:28 p.m., the moment the final whistle blew on the Dallas Cowboys' 34-14 demolition of the Birds in Arlington, Texas.

And, as is the case with every off-season that begins with the absence of a Vince Lombardi Trophy on display in South Philadelphia, there will be questions.

Lots of questions.

They'll be asked loudly by fans on the job, in bars, and on Web sites; shouted into microphones by pundits; and pondered by the Eagles' brain trust in the privacy of the team's inner sanctum.

Questions will swirl about the quarterbacks, the draft, free agency, a possible uncapped season, injuries, Andy Reid's clock-management skills, Reid's use of challenges, Reid's amazing expandable wardrobe.

Questions about the Eagles are like stars in the sky and grains of sand on the beach. So very, very many.

So to get the ball rolling on the latest Eagles off-season in time-honored Philadelphia tradition, here are five questions of our own.

DJacc contract discontent = TO?1. Could DeSean Jackson become the next Terrell Owens? The wide receiver's hiring of super(annoying)-agent Drew Rosenhaus would seem to suggest it's possible. It's no secret Jackson was not happy being selected in the second round of the 2008 draft and thus having to agree to a contract that now pays him significantly less than rookie Jeremy Maclin.

The all-pro has two years left on his deal, and there hasn't been any public maneuvering by Rosenhaus, who can be easy for teams to work with unless a client wants his contract restructured (see: Owens, 2005). If Jackson, sensitive whenever questioned about his deal, wants to see all-pro dough up front and the Eagles balk, things could get ugly.

Perhaps Jackson will simply use the humbling experience against the Cowboys, in which he was a nonfactor on the field and a rabble-rouser off it, as enough motivation to come back more dominant. Or maybe he'll just bask in the glow of his newfound stardom while he can.

On Friday, Jackson wrote on his Twitter account, "Wit da brodie in da suite chilln lifes great!!" It's fun to think that "brodie" just might be Brody Jenner, son of Bruce, reality hunk from MTV's The Hills, and dater of Playboy playmates. Life may, indeed, be great."
