ANOTHER EAGLE FLIESSSSSS THE COOP




   Yet another eagle has been released from the nest. This eagle wasn't on my radar at least to be let go by the Eagles. Jackson a 3 time pro bowler and explosive receiver and returner for the Eagles since his debut in the NFL finds himself homeless for now. Speculations has surfaced of Jacksons alleged affiliation with gang members back in his home town of Los Angeles and that was the assumption by many of why he was released. The Eagles still haven't made it clear of why they released Jackson. In a statement made by a Los Angeles police department they stated by saying "they don't necessarily think Jackson has any ties to gangs and they definitely don't think he's been involved in any gang-related killings."
   
   Is this case a guilty by association/neighborhood where I grew up situation? This has been an ongoing subject for the past few years but nothing has stuck. One thing I do find amazing is that just last week the owner of the colts Jim Irsay was arrested and in his possession was drugs and money and it received a 3 day max of coverage but Jacksons alleged affiliation has been running for years. There were reports that the release of Jackson may have come because of missed meetings, not fully vested in the team and potential problems with head coach Chip Kelly.


   Now time for some football. Ok we have a explosive receiver/returner on the market what team could benefit from such a player. I know Jackson made a visit to the Redskins over the weekend and that would be a huge addition to their offense and to help RG3 who's a similar style QB like Vick who Jackson played with in Philly. Another team aiming for Jackson could be the Oakland Raiders, it has been reported that this is a mutual interest on both parts. This move would put Jackson close to his hometown of L.A. and would boost the Raiders offense as well. Speaking of Vick if your previous wide out that you have played along side the past few years and you know is an impact player would you lobby to bring him to NY to help Decker and the other receivers out? I have seen receivers traded and sign with other teams in the past and don't have a huge impact, I am wondering what ever team Jackson land with will that offense adjust to fit the type of player he is.
