DeSean Jackson released - Go get em Jerry

[The Natural]

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.

4 teams reached out to Jackson's agent within 30 minutes of his release

We'd have the best offense in the league with Desean. Two elite receivers, a top 5 tight end, a pro bowl running back, a top 10 quarterback, improving offensive line... but pretty much the same as any other potential free agent signing, only if the price is right. I wouldn't worry much about him being a "head case"... him and Dez are cool, he hasn't acted up recently, and I think he just wants to win. The only guy I wouldn't touch because of attitude problems is Incognito, I think Desean would be fine here. But I'm betting the Pats or 9ers offer him a much bigger deal and he goes to one of them.

Exactly, and Philly received trade offers for him. But, they could not in good conscience trade his issues to another team and receive anything in return. The Eagles didn't think it would be right.

What does THAT tell you?

Carolina would be a good landing spot for DeSean.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Okay and? I've never heard of no "gang affiliation" or anything like that about Desean until he gets cut. Now he's a part time gang banger.....this is silly.

I find it funny that the Eagirls release Desean Jackson for "gang affiliation" but give Riley Cooper a extension after his racist rant which would lead me to believe he's affiliated with the KKK.

You are right, his ties with member(s) of the Crips sure is silly.

Really funny because that looks like Spanky from the Little Rascals - also known as the show "Our Gang"

 

[AKATheRake]

Oh god lol.

How long did you wait for that one?

Lmao!

Corny isn't it?

How ironic this post is # 88 in this thread. Lol!

He doesn't just want to win. He wants straight cash, homey. This is a guy who signs a healthy extension and then starts campaigning for another the next year.

All of them asking if the gang thing is real.

Teams have been all over his background for over a week.

So what will happen is the team that has been investigating him and feels he is worth it, will sign him.

 

[Risen Star]

I think Jerry should bring him and his posse in for a visit. And I think he should wear red.

Jackson has new agent and this is all good news for him. He gets paid on Jackson next contract. He was making nothing on Jackson existing contract signed in 2012.

 

[Woods]

So Philly releases their top WR (over the past several years) and have plenty of cap space, etc.? Hmmmm . . . . maybe there actually is a problem? I'd pass. Use the money to re-build the defense please.

No the accusations are silly. The fact that Riley Cooper got a 5 YEAR EXTENSION after being a PR nightmare with his racist rant is what's silly. "Alleged" gang affiliations is a way to save face for the Eagirls organization.

 

[NickZepp]

If Philly thinks you are too gangsta for them then stay the heck away.

Yep, there were rumblings about that. That Jackson's agent is pushing DeSean toward a new deal so he can get his cut.

Not that DeSean Jackson needs encouragement to be greedy.

All I know is our offense would be fun to watch with Jackson at his best. Unless Garrett has him running a bunch of comeback and curl routes.

 

[The Natural]

So, they wouldn't have taken a fourth rounder as opposed to just releasing him for nothing?

This is going to be bad. Rumors of murders committed by close friends of Jackson already, and recent photos of him with gang members released from prison still with their jailbird suits on.......?

He'll be out of work for like five minutes

Ehhh maybe you're right, but its not like he's a guy coming off his rookie deal looking to finally get paid... he's made good money. And I think he'd love the idea of playing with Dez and playing in Jerry World.

I'd rather we sold the team to John Mara than to put that fool into a Cowboys uniform...
