i'm not saying it does. but i don't want somebody that is hanging out with murderers, do you?

 

and the fact him and Cam seemed buddy buddy at the pro bowl.

 

if he has nothing to do with it, and that guy is locked up, i have no problems with it. im pretty sure that he has known this guy for a long time,and it doesnt make right what he did.

Why would he post stuff like free this man or whatever. It's fine if he is old buddies with him and spends time with him in prison. But that kind of talk is beyond stupid. Like the free Hernandez caps pouncey was wearing

My other thought was that it was softening the blow to Philly fans about his release.  From what I understand, they didn't need to make this move for cap space.  

 

That too.

 

Here's the part where I find the "news" to be suspicious:

http://www.nj.com/eagles/index.ssf/2014/03/eagles_desean_jackson_off-the-field_troubles.html

 

Acting on unspecified information that Jackson might have knowledge of Shakir's activities on the night of Watson's murder, LAPD detective Eric Crosson said he interviewed Jackson on the phone in late 2011. Crosson wouldn't reveal details of that conversation, but he described Jackson as "cooperative at the time."

Crosson also told NJ.com that he reached out to the Eagles by phone in early 2011 -- even before he interviewed Jackson -- as a courtesy to alert them to Jackson’s connection to an alleged killer. He never received a response from the team, he said.

The following year, the Eagles signed Jackson to a five-year, $48.5 million contract extension.

When contacted by NJ.com on Wednesday, the Eagles issued a statement that they had "no comment at this time," and team officials would neither confirm nor deny whether anyone in the front office had spoken to Crosson about Jackson’s ties to a homicide suspect. On Thursday, a source in the organization said current front-office members had been unaware of Jackson's links to an alleged killer.

 

This makes me think that his release has nothing to do with "gang affiliation."

The eagles aren't quite squeaky clean here either;

Connection to a gang that's suspected of two murders goes a little beyond not being a 'choirboy'.

With something like that, you're in Aaron Hernandez territory.

I'm alot more open minded when it comes to these things. I have 3 foster boys, 2 are in gangs and the other has his own issues involving the law.

@JamesDockery31 Djack allegedly had gang member friends? Lol c'mon man who doesn't when you've grown up in So-cal. ... come to CLT!

Should he maybe not advertise some stuff? Sure. But at the end of the day he's been able to stay out of trouble as far as we know, and that should say alot about him imo.

Based on that website, one of the guys were acquitted of the murder. Regardless, sometimes you have to distance yourself from people that you grew up with who are nothing but trouble. I wish some of these athlethes will realize that they are getting a chance of a life time to play pro sports and to get paid doing so. We will see what really comes out about this situation. I lost hope in the media these days.

This really pissed me off...what a disgusting piece of poo. Your buddies are convicted for murder of a 14 year old, one of them got 15 to life and you are advocating for them on instagram...fuging disgusting. I don't want that poison anywhere near here.

 

its a sad truth to the situation. i have several friends locked up for murder, but i would never scream free so-and-so, that is dumb.

 

its a shame tho you get more time for conspiracy to sell drugs compared to murder.
