Eagles release Desean Jackson
- Thread starter ugk
- Start date
But the NFL isn't racist 
a bunch of rich crackers who won the catholic league championship last week were throwing up gang signs too. fuck out of here with that gang bullshit
82 catches 1300 yards 60 catches for 1st down. 2nd dumbest move in the history of the organization
has desean jackson been found in a car high and drunk with a trash bag full of pills and 30k in cash?
no?
So I'm suppose to assume he will be committing felonies based upon that? Affiliation does not equate to banging. This is a PR smear campaign to ease the lost for the Eagles fans. Soon people in the media will be comparing him to Aaron Hernandez. If you can't see this you are blind
He will be a great pickup for you guys. I predict he goes there or to us.
this ain't got shit to do with gang affiliations this is strictly big balls chips wanting things his way.
i am done with the eagles.you sign that sorry ass mexican then release your best offensive player on the same day. FOH
I've been a Eagles fan for 20 years & I'm seriously questioning my fandom too
They gave the cracker who would beat up ALL OF US NIGGAS money
But cut they best player
Doggish u need to turn in your eagles card
We need him to replace Hester

this guy gets it..2 games a yr destroying the team that tried to smear ur name come on desean big blue is where u need to go
THIS!!!
Unless they've been keeping his gang problems under wraps for 5 years, this doesn't make any sense, I could understand coming out of college, NOT after he's been repping the team all this time!!!
Big double standard here..... One guy brought it up:
THE COMPANY YOU KEEP
I've already expressed my opinion on this, but that's also very important to keep in mind when you're a person with a little clout. Kinda goes back to that Dave chapelle skit about the wearing the uniform of a hoe and wanting to be treated like a lady

Dalla is where you go when you DON'T want to catch a ball or win a playoff
talking about the robbery at his house was insurance fraud. the same area where another player and a eagles coaches house was robbed a few years ago
The funny thing is that he was saying he was gonna hold out because he wanted a pay raise
I wouldn't be surprised to see Chip Kelly sign his former recruit, Black Mamba," from Oregon.
Yea i wouldn't be mad if he went to you guys either. he has to come home though. has to.. we play the eagles this year i hope that's the clincher.
exactly nothing to do with gang shit. desean ain't NEVER been in real trouble before ever. its bullshit and they're fucking your team over cause cooper got open due to desean getting the coverage an shady running the rock. its about to be a HUGE wake up call
and they didn't blink an eye when it came to giving a bigot a new contract. his character is fine huh?
Gang affiliation?
What does that even mean?
Trying to assassinate the mans character because you couldn't trade him
I love it as a Cowboys fan get him the fuck out the division and let's see them replace their best WR by a country mile
Then they fucked him cuz a lot of teams already spent the money they were going to spend already
For instance Jets overpaid Decker they wouldn't have done that if Jackson is a free agent

its all bullshit...THIS!!!

meanwhile in Florham Park, NJ....
He's a clown on the field but, from my understanding, he's never had any off the field issues. You couldn't even make this up. The bigot gets an extension and their #1 gets CUT over some bullshit. Philly strikes again
they are going to say everything they can to cast him in this negative light to make up for the fact that they let him go. by the end of the day you're going to be the only eagles fan mad.
the white eagles fans are going to be agreeing with riley cooper by this evening.
i hope he becomes a 49er by this evening. just get on a plane and come on home

The Eagles have*released star receiver DeSean Jackson.*The move is something of a surprise—though he was likely done in Philly, they might have gotten something for him in a trade—but the timing is fascinating. The announcement came exactly 35 minutes after the publication of an NJ.com articlealleging the Eagles were concerned about Jackson's possible gang ties.
There is a lot to unpack here. First the facts, uncovered by Eliot Shorr-Parks and A.J. Perez:
Jackson was contacted by an LAPD detective seeking information on a 2010 gang-related murder in Los Angeles. Jackson was not a suspect, but police believe he may have had information about a suspect in the murder, Theron Shakir. Shakir, a purported Crips member, is a rapper who has worked on Jackson's record label, and the two have been photographed together. (Shakir was acquitted of the murder.)In 2012, another gang-related murder took place outside a party in Los Angeles. The building was owned or leased by a member of Jackson's family, and some documents belonging to him were found inside. Police attempted to contact Jackson, who was not a suspect, but were unable to get in touch with him.Jackson had a previously unreported arrest in 2009 for marijuana possession, tinted windows, and disturbing the peace.
Then, there are the implications. The LAPD detective, Eric Crosson, clearly believes Jackson himself is part of the Crips gang. His evidence includes Jackson throwing up supposed Crip gang signs in photos, even on the field in NFL games. Also, the name of Jackson's record label—Jaccpot—because, according to Crosson, "Crips avoid putting a 'C' next to a 'K' because in gangspeak, that stands for 'Crip Killer.'"
According to Shorr-Parks and Perez, the Eagles are concerned that all of this has the potential for a very bad situation. They don't have to say it outright, since everyone else will, but Aaron Hernandez is on everyone's mind.
The timing of Jackson's release can't be a coincidence. The Eagles knew this story was coming. Once it was published, Jackson's trade value would become zero. (Or, more sinisterly, the "sources within the Eagles organization" that contributed to this story did so to publicly justify Jackson's release.)

now they got players from the eagles to go out and try to defend the organization.just wow
I was reading an article last week that Chip Kelly has full control of the team now after his good first season. Pretty much the Owner gave him the keys to the house. Now he's trying to get "his" players and take control over the organization. With Desean bringing up his contract and generally being a very outspoken person, Kelly probably just went nuclear on him. Desean can't even disprove these types of allegation. How do you prove that you AREN'T "gang-affiliated".
Statement from former Eagles WR DeSean Jackson:
"First I would like to thank the Eagles organization, the Eagles fans and the city of Philadelphia for my time in Philly. I would also like to thank coach Andy Reed for bringing me in. Secondly, I would like to address the misleading and unfounded reports that my release has anything to do with any affiliation that has been speculated surrounding the company I keep off of the field. I would like to make it very clear that I am not and never have been part of any gang. I am not a gang member and to speculate and assume that I am involved in such activity off the field is reckless and irresponsible. I work very hard on and off the field and I am a good person with good values. I am proud of the accomplishments that I have made both on and off the field. I have worked tirelessly to give back to my community and have a positive impact on those in need. It is unfortunate that I now have to defend myself and my intentions. These reports are irresponsible and just not true . I look forward to working hard for my new team. God Bless."
