That hasnt been confirmed. Could just be shitty journalism. Both the Eagles and Jackson himself deny thats why he got cut.
― Prince Kajuku (Bill Magill), Thursday, 3 April 2014 19:42 (ten years ago) link
from what i understand the eagles were looking to deal him up until that story ran when probably they assumed that his value has just plummeted. why would they release a story that devalued a player they were shopping?
― Mordy , Thursday, 3 April 2014 19:43 (ten years ago) link
what's the theory anyway? that they released the information so that they wouldn't get heat from the philly fanbase? the philly fanbase loves jackson and are furious that he was cut and i don't see why anyone in philadelphia would change their mind bc he was "associated" with members of a gang.
― Mordy , Thursday, 3 April 2014 19:45 (ten years ago) link
the issue is not the "real reason" it's the public perception and the way the eagles have chosen to steer it
^public perception doesnt mean shit, in my opinion. who gives a shit. Not sure the eagles have steered anything. NB-i hate the eagles and i think they made a massive mistake here.

hahahahaha, yeah, i dont want anybody to think im coming to their defense over this move-im not. but i respect their owner, he's one of the better guys in the league.

Philly should just play it more straight. They didn't want to put up that much cash for for the some total of things. I think what might be more telling is that they couldn't trade him and I would almost guarantee they probably tried to. There are free agents available in football, you might not get the exact type player, but you could get others that improve your team.

Chris Johnson cut. Tennessee website cites "gang ties" as the reason.

really just don't get the Jackson thing. seems like it's Trade him >>> Sign him >>>>>>>>> Release him, 'gang ties' or no
Chris Johnson is probably headed to the Jets, right? barf
― frogbs, Friday, 4 April 2014 18:05 (ten years ago) link
it was either trade him, release him or keep him at $10 mm per. there was no "sign him" unless he agreed to restructure.

“The fact is, [Jackson] was a ‘me-guy’ with an attitude problem and [Maclin] is the complete opposite, a team guy, a great character guy you go to war with,” said one source. “Funny how [Jackson] has this anti-bully thing and he thought he could push [Kelly] around; he found out otherwise. His being cut had nothing to do with the gang stuff. The team knew it. Everyone knew he had ‘ties.’ Those were his guys. That’s okay. What put him out was his selfishness. He can try and spin it all he wants how he’s ‘a team player.’ He’s not. I’ll put it this way, when it came out last Friday that [Jackson] was released, more than a few guys were happy it happened. They said ‘good riddance.’ He had no real connection with anyone.

Desean Jackson has had some amazing things happen in his NFL career to this point, but this is what I will always remember him for:

I just now read that the scheduling conflict at Radio City which pushed the draft into May was for an event that never ended up taking place. Nice.
