DeSean Jackson released - Go get em Jerry

[Risen Star]

The story in Philly is that there were several times Jackson went off the reserve over recent years and there were two players who always stepped in and straightened him out. Michael Vick and Jason Avant. Once the Eagles decided to part with those two players they thought they had to move Jackson by any means necessary.

Jackson-Dez-Williams oh my....But who gonna stop the other team

 

[NJ22]

Slot receiver and great 2nd to replace Austin. We desperately need speed. Punt returner too.

Get him.

HE!! NO!!!!

 

[TheDoctor]

Sign a 140 lbs one-trick pony WR that's going to cause more issues? Uh no.

 

[fifaguy]

Gang ties to LA crips, including recent murders potentially.

No thanks.

What does it say that Philly had trade offers, but could not trade his issues to another team in good conscience?

It kills me to say this, but I admire the Eagles greatly for that.

Makes a ton of sense.

Is there anything that says they had offers and refused? And yes, I am being too lazy to scroll to see if it was posted before.

That is actually a great idea.

 

[Primetime42]

It was almost instantaneous.

All the last few days all you read is that they were keeping him.

I guess teams did their homework.

That tells you that they knew.

How many bodyguards could Jones hire to police Jackson with Bryant in tow?

 

[Alexander]

That tells you that they knew.

The fact that nobody bit on the trade offers tells me that they knew too.

There are still some secrets in the NFL in today's media saturated world. Not a lot, but a few.

That one trick pony had 1300 yards last year. Give me that one trick pony ANYDAY WITH the gang-ties. He'd be in Dallas and not Philly or Cali.

The Eagirls all of a sudden don't look so good anymore.....

Adam Schefter said it.

No way, Dude. I want no part of that trouble. Not sure how well you remember the 90's, but with social media like it is today, he would bring nothing but bad press. PacMan Jones, Part II.

There is no way that you could make me believe that his on the field benefit would trump the crap he would bring on the rest of the team. Just not worth it, IMO.

 

[Eddie]

Desean is going to want to get paid.

We are not going to pay him.

End of story.

No no. Sign him to vet's min ... and throw in Dexter Coakley.

 

[CATCH17]

I would like to see him in Dallas but not at this point.

We need a youth movement everywhere and this is a player that someone that is more of a contender should be interested in.
