After the whole thing last week I was hoping he might come back. Oh well, I hope he has a good year.

The things I would do to Rihanna would be the greatest 38 seconds of her life. I totally support desean's efforts.

Chip Kelly: Releasing Jackson "purely football" move after no trade offers

The NFL said last week that it was satisfied that the Eagles released wide receiver DeSean Jackson for football reasons and coach Chip Kelly said the same thing on Monday.

Kelly said he had no personality conflicts with Jackson during their year together with the Eagles and that the team decided to solicit trade offers for the receiver because of their overall plans for the team. When there were no offers, the team decided to release Jackson in a move that had nothing to do with a report of Jackson's alleged gang ties.

"We just wanted to go in a different direction. It had nothing to do with any article. Purely football," Kelly said, via Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post. "We had no offers for DeSean. It doesn't matter what we wanted, because we had no offers."

Kelly wasn't surprised by the lack of offers for Jackson under his former contract, nor should it be a surprise to anyone else. Jackson's deal was set to pay him $10.7 million for the 2014 season, which is awfully rich even for a receiver of Jackson's talents.

Owner Jeffrey Lurie also spoke to reporters and said that he is concerned about all players' off-field behavior, but had no special concerns about Jackson. Lurie said Kelly came to him after the season ended and said he wanted to move in a different direction at receiver, which was enough for the owner to sign off on the move.

Both men said they had no concerns about Jackson going to a division rival. Jackson will have two chances to make them feel differently next season.

Yeah, I can see that DeSean wouldn't fit into an offense that set multiple franchise records, largely on big plays and he was second in he league in both 20+ and 40+ yard plays. Long scoring plays kinda drags the whole team down. You can also see how he was a bad influence on Riley was also among the 40+ yard play leaders

LoLurie...yeah ok. He just wasn't a good fit. Get the farg outta here.

Btw I understood Chip's point about not having a PC each time a guy is cut. He says that's not how he rolls then fine. But when a move of that magnitude is made you have to say something. I'm not talking in depth exit interview type shtein but something needed to be said.

He also vehemently denied that hit piece by Santolowhoever on CBS.

But now we have the owner saying he wasn't a fit? Ooooook buddy.

The Browns released Young already
