NFL fans are still in shock that the Eagles have released DeSean Jackson. The circumstances surrounding his release seem to be dealing with off the field things, rather than actual football issues. Affiliations with gang members and suspect activity are at the heart of this news, but right now it is all speculation. Jackson himself responded via twitter and a statement. Hit the jump.
NFL: Breaking News: Eagles Release DeSean Jackson, Gang Affiliations May Be Part Of Reason
This is big news!! It was rumored the past week or so but I don’t think many people actually thought the Eagles would do it. The team just announced that they have released star receiver DeSean Jackson, and it seems it doesn’t have much to do with football itself. Last season was Jackson’s best year as a pro with 82 catches for 1,332 yards and 9 touchdowns. Not too mention he is a perfect fit for the style of offense that the Eagles play. So it would seem crazy that the team let him go for football reasons. Instead it seems they are very concerned with his gang affiliation and the people he hangs out with. Hit the jump.

The New York Jets made it official yesterday by releasing quarterback Mark Sanchez and signing quarterback Michael Vick. The Jets still have a need in the wide receiver department and Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson is currently in limbo with his team so it would make sense for him to reunite with his QB Vick. It’s definitely a move the fans would welcome and so would Vick.

(PHOTO) NFL: DeSean Jackson Throws Up Gang Signs With Nipsey Hussle
I feel like I’m on repeat, but for those new to IFWT … I know very little about gangs (always open to learning though). So when it comes to information on these kinds of pictures, I’m trusting in other sites for their knowledge. We’ve had a couple posts in the past about DeSean Jackson throwing up gang signs (see HERE) — and apparently he’s at it again — this time in LA with rapper Nipsey Hussle. Check it out…
