[i]Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?[/i]
absolutely stunning to just release him. doesn't make a lot of sense. not really shocking he is a gang member. I wonder what is going to come out about the stolen money from his condo. be interesting to see if anyone takes a chance on him.
and birds better draft a stud wide receiver or next year could be a long one.
I agree with cutting him. But it's deff a double edge sword. Eagles sign a convicted dog killer and resign a known racist. Yet they cut a possible gang member. There's deff gonna be another shoe to drop.

just makes you think they either suspect or know there is some bad shit going on with him. the whole stolen money thing reeked from the beginning.

There's 100% more stuff to drop. Makes no sense at all to cost yourself 4mill in cap space otherwise. I'd love Watkins or Evans,but we can't get that high up.
I would LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEE for Desean Jackson to end up in jail.
well as a giants fan, i guess you are all too familiar with wide receivers ending up in jail.

well now i guess it all makes sense. and there has got to be a lot more to the story than what came out yesterday. but god damn it, this sucks. the team is worse today than it was 24 hours ago and now there is a glaring need on offense heading into the draft. i get it though. the quotes by maclin and those guys the other night make sense and the fact that nobody has come out in desean's defense, while players like kelce seem overjoyed tell you all you need to know.
what's interesting to me is that the eagles were contacted by the lapd about all this in 2011 and they didn't return the call...then they go and resign desean a few months later. that just speaks to the difference between these two regimes. reid was more tolerant of poor behavior, especially later in his term (and his team eventually quit on him). kelly obviously doesn't want to put up with the headaches. so here we are. i'b bet kc would sign him if they had the cap space.
with all the wide out talent in the draft, they can still go with bpa with the first pick. and the sproles signing makes even more sense as i really think he will be used more as a receiver. but for those who think desean is easily replaceable on the field, i strongly disagree with you:
Despite the rivalry, Chipster likes the Beavs. They won't have an off the field issues with Cooks as he's a class act all around.
If you're not gonna get a big receiver that is an all-around dominant receiver (which is easy to find, right?), then I'm all about this dude. He can do everything you were asking of DeSean - open up the field, demand coverage of the safety and possibly the corner at the same time, has return skills, oh, plus he's stronger. Seems like a no-brainer to me. And, yeah, like you said, not an idiot.
Drove by this a couple times over the last week or so going back and forth from the airport. Have been wondering how quickly it was going to come down.
so looks like with one move Chip Kelly has made a division rival better and his team worse and got zero for the effort. this might not end up well.
So it is TO all over again. Haha
Skins deal is not done yet though...
TO got us to a super bowl so what happened after that was totally worth it.
6abc.com was reporting earlier he signed with the Skins but I guess they are saying it's not true now (yet).

I supported getting rid of TO at the time, but in hindsight, it just seems ridiculous that they could not work something out. And the fact that they actually did get to a Super Bowl with him is all the more reason they should have worked something out with him. Maybe they actually would have won one in the next couple years.
With Desean, it seems the Eagles were in a lose lose situation. Whole thing sucks...

Isn't that just inevitable at this point??
The statement he just released is hilarious.

Juggler is right, this sucks and we'll never get an explanation.
