LETS GET IT CAROLINA!
Thought it deserved its own thread. Holy crap.
I would like to see if they have any do ented proof of his alleged gang affiliation.
USAToday reports Panthers interested
"That is something that has to be discussed,'' Rivera said. "Yeah, we'll have to gauge the direction we can go.''Salary is an obvious issue for the cap-strapped Panthers who have roughly $5 million in cap space. Jackson was set to earn $10.7 million this season and count $12.5 million against the salary cap in 2014. His release will save the Eagles $6.5 million in cap space.
"It depends on the numbers,'' Rivera said. "You have to negotiate around the numbers. We'll see what happens. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next couple of days.''
he's from SoCal, went to Cal.... oakland is a lock imo
plus he can still bang tbh fwiw
Doesn't mean much but he has been throwing up gang signs for years
True. A lot of people have tbh. I'd like to see what Philadelphia saw which made them make this decision. Because they could have said anything else, maybe something cap related, anything. But they decided to say this specifically, which means they must have something, or at least something that would give them an inclination to perceive this as highly likely.
Bruh, So many other people had gang affiliation and they did aight...the dude, from what I hear from my LB Poly homies, said he was an associate and never really a banger. But with the Aaron Hernandez situation and even the Ray Rice (guilt by player) has teams shying away from the bad at udes and mindset.
Then why use this as a justification for release? Maybe I'm missing something
If you follow this guy closely or at all he's made one clownish thug move after another..they did the right thing
So the eagles cut their best player cuz of alleged gang affiliations but give contract extensions to proven white supremacist racists. Makes sense.
Yeah, anything DJackson has done is about on par as to Riley Whitey Cooper did...DRose has made shoe contracts and mansions out his VL affiliation.
Come home, . Come home.
I wouldn't call him their best player, I'd reserve that for Shady. But, I hope whatever justification they have comes to light because the speculation makes it look potentially bad on both sides.
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."
Now they're reporting other issues such as work ethic and at ude.
Yeah I saw. Hopefully it is a scapegoat.. Panthers have always been secretive a la Spurs... Don't expect them to get him over the Jets.. but my slim hopes will still live..
Would love to see what he could do in a Pats uniform.
But meh, at the end of the day, he's just a wide receiver.
According to NFL Live, 6 teams have already reached out to Jackson (Per Agent, top be taken with a grain of salt, of course)
They're saying he Eagles have been mum to some extent due to legal concerns. (NFL Live)
Why is this a surprise to people? Guy is one of the biggest thugs in the league. Tweets about how much he loves pot, complains about his contract like five years running including the year right after he got a new one, and insists on spending most of his offseason working on his rap career even though the team wants him to focus on football.
What you thought behind closed doors he was a saint though?
