Me too. 

 

The opinions that want Blackmon outta here are clown opinions.

Never said I wanted him "outta here". Just would not bank on him being back.

Don't think the gang ties are true. Chip Kelly just didn't get along with him.

Your tone sure insinuates that you don't want him here.

I think the Eagles are embellishing a bit to make their decision more palatable with the fans. 

 

Theres probably some truth to what you say above. DeSean seemed to be the kind of guy that wasn't totally respecting Kelly, so its not a surprise he's gone.

THAT changes the analysis substantially for me, though the article indicates Jackson was not charged with any wrongdoing and was cooperative.

 

Nevertheless...the analysis is changed.

 

From a purely talent/production/age perspective, he'd be worth signing.

 

With his bad associations...pass.

 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

That story could easily be fed by Eagles PR in an attempt to make his release look better.

Perhaps.

 

At minimum, if the team is interested, his associations should be thoroughly vetted first.

I doubt it's news to anyone. Teams dive into personal lives before the draft. Probably a reason he slipped to the second round.

Knowing how the Eagles operate, this would be more than just a very good guess.

lol....KC (Reid) has already contacted Jackson's agent about playing there.

There's a couple of YouTube vids out about DJax showing him throwing up gang signs in public. At parties and what not. I won't post them because I'm pretty sure they would go against the CoC.


If I was an interested team I would surely do my due diligence.

Well, he's suspended and therefore not even a league participant right now.

So, I'd be more inclined to consider him not a part of the team until he's first reinstated, and second actually allowed back on the team.

Last week it was he did not want to take a pay cut and now this week it is he has gang affiiliations.

 

If you cannot see the narrative then I dont know what to tell you.

 

Type in Desean Jackson arrest record in Google and what comes up? 

 

No DUI, No drug charges, No arrest record of any kind, no off the field issues. But because he may know some gang members he is now a cancer and a diva apparently.

 

Aaron Hernandez had multiple run ins with the law since college and a questionable character but nothing happened until he got arrested, before that the Patriots simply ignored it. New Orleans Saints ran a bounty program and everything was fine and dandy until they were caught, only then were players released and people fired. Ray Lewis murdered someone and NFL pushed this redemption angle and now he is commentating on ESPN.

 

I guarantee multiple players throughout the league may know some gang members, the media trying to push this angle on Desean Jackson being some type of felon is absolutely embarrassing. 

 

Chip Kelly was a college coach at Oregon where he recruited kids from the same area where Desean Jackson was from, I guess gang affiliations didnt matter back then. 

 

Eagles knew this was coming, they resigned Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper a few weeks before and also traded for Darren Sproles. 

 

Eagles are releasing him strictly based on his relationship with Chip Kelly, the smear campaign is just them trying to justify to their fans why they released him.

Knowing Gang members and being friends with them are different then being a Gang member or the leader of your Gang, Aaron Hernandez was a gang banger his whole life and had a troubled youth and troubles at UF. Jackson has never been in trouble with the law never failed a drug test.

Yes he might be a diva WR but he is not some thug so its really dumb to compare him to Hernandez, i'm sure their are plenty of players who are friends with bangers

While that is true about him not being part of the league right now, he's of course going to be reinstated as soon as he's eligible.

 

I'd moreso think the top brass would have made major indications that he isn't coming back by now.

 

In any case... sign Jackson too.
