Whitlock on Eagles and Jackson
Whitlock: Eagles had other issues with DeSean Jackson
By: Jason Whitlock (ESPN.com)It’s my belief Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles wanted to trade DeSean Jackson because the diminutive receiver is — and always has been — a massive headache for a coaching staff.
DeSean Jackson received criticism for being a high-maintenance player for coaches to handle.
It’s my belief Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles cut DeSean Jackson because they realized a sensationalized media report tying together the diminutive receiver’s “gang ties” would eviscerate Jackson’s trade value.
The people, including two-mouths-and-one-ear All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman, screaming that Kelly and the Eagles have acted in a racist manner have chosen the wrong target.
