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.

NFL: It’s Like That? Panthers Steve Smith Promises Blood Will Spill If He Plays Them After Team Cuts Him
I think it is pretty safe to say Steve Smith is not happy about being cut from the only team he has ever known, the Carolina Panthers. He is ready for a war if whatever team he winds up with winds up playing Carolina next season. The Panthers have been his only team in his career, but at age 35 the team once again reminded us that this is a business. Now Smith is going to make it his business to go after them if he gets the chance. Hit the jump.
