((HT: ESPN))
And the question now, is, whether or not this message will be received by one of the top ten receivers in the NFL
Field Yates has a little bit of the why...
He was supposed to make $10.5 million in 2014 and was owed $30.5 million over the remainder of his deal, but none of that money was guaranteed. The Eagles were shopping Jackson, but couldn't find any takers- considering Anquan Boldin as dealt for a 6th round pick. It made you wonder what the value in a trade for Jackson was if yu thrown in the reported baggage...
That the Eagles knew about...
Eliot Shorr-Parks and AJ Perez go into great detail of Jackson's activity that was in part:
Despite Jackson's name having come up in connection with two gang-related murders involving Crips, (LAPD detective Eric) Crosson said police have no hard evidence that Jackson is a member of the gang, which was formed in the late 1960’s and has an estimated 35,000 members across the country. Crosson said, however, the Jackson routinely flashes Crip gang signs in photos on social media -- and even on television during an NFL game.
"You don't want to see anybody throwing up gang signs like he did in the Redskins game last year," Crosson said. "Those were neighborhood Crip gang signs and he flashed them during a game. He may not be affiliated with the gang, but they don't [ordinarily] take kindly to those not in the gang throwing up those gang signs."
And with the Aaron Hernandez case still a part of the NFL landscape, the Eagles want none of it...
The HQ will be interested to see where the message goes from here...
