Yes, DeSean Jackson knows people who are involved in gangs. Shocking, he's a human being from a not so nice place.

Dunno, after Aaron Hernandez, I can understand teams staying the gently caress away when the LAPD confirms that DeSean has continuing involvement with people with gang ties. There is no good reason for DeSean Jackson to still be on the LAPD's radar in 2014.

That said, gently caress the LAPD.

Just for the record, I didn't post that in the spirit of, "See, Desean is a punk gangbanger!" It was more along the lines of, "Here's a possible reason (legitimate or not) that these two teams didn't go after him harder."

Eh, maybe. I think the reason teams didn't give the Eagles a 3rd rounder is because they were telegraphing that they wanted Jackson gone so badly and teams wanted to wait out and save the draft pick/get him on their own contract.

A lot more teams reportedly showed interest (and immediate interest at that) once he was a free agent than when he was being offered during a trade.

Makes sense, why give up a third when you can just give up cash instead? If he showed some worth in FA then the Eagles front office mishandled getting value out of an investment.

I think that's probably because they wouldn't have to give up anything for him and also would have been able to negotiate a contract instead of get saddled with what was seen as a bad one.

The worst part about this rebuild is that y'all still missed the #1 pick. Why even bother if you're drafting at about the same time as a team that went to the NFC Championship the year before?

It's really kind of amazing. The no. 1 pick was supposed to be an arms race between Jacksonville and Oakland, two of the worst football teams ever assembled, and here we are.

Yeah they were bad, but this a team that has consistently struggled to get over that 12 loss hump. 10 of the last 12 years they've lost 11 games or more, and they've only got one first overall pick to show for it. I mean there's a few games you'd like to have back, like taking that early lead in the late San Diego game against a quarterback who hasn't stayed up past 8:30 since his junior year in school, and that win against the Steelers, but the Raiders just really struggle to lose in close games against bad opponents. Like the Texans game when they got handed the ball in the red zone twice. You gotta settle for 3 in those situations. Instead they walk away with 14 points and bam. Game over. It's maddening. 4-12 ain't gonna cut it in today's NFL.

The year he went nuts I remember him catching a lot more passes in the flats, then for the last 2 years you barely ever saw that. Every once in a while you see flashes out of him that make you go WOW, but its hard to tell if age, misuse, or effort has been the problem with him.
