Eagles reportedly willing to release DeSean Jackson

papz · 03-28-2014, 04:48 PM

Honestly I could care less if he has any affiliation with any gangs. I know plenty of people who do dumb **** and it doesn't affect me in any way... at least any more. What's concerning is this...

Rather, sources close to Jackson and within the Eagles' organization say, it originally was Jackson's off-field behavior that concerned the front office. A bad attitude, an inconsistent work ethic, missed meetings and a lack of chemistry with head coach Chip Kelly were the original reasons for his fall from grace, sources told NJ.com.

If I'm going to pay anyone a ton of money, I'm not looking for this type of baggage to go along with it. His release was strictly financial. The excuse for his release was the angle the media decided to run with. What really makes for a better story?

Do not sign DeSean. He is a me-first showboat.

Browns or Jets......

Forget gang associations, a few years ago he made an ass of himself by dropping a football before he crossed the goal-line for a TD. L-o-s-e-r.

"Riley Cooper said the n-word, then they gave him a 5-year deal. DeSean has alleged gang ties and gets cut"

Yeah........this is a fairly ignorant comment. Someone always has to turn something simple into a race problem. Guess you think Al Sharpton is a good role model too.

Only a fool would think race has nothing to do with any of these decisions. It still plays a big part on all levels. Idk about you but I fear rich racist white men more than alleged gang members..

You think they let him go because they didn't like his race?
