LeSean McCoy has been highly critical of the Philadelphia Eagles, head coach Chip Kelly in particular, ever since he was sent to the Buffalo Bills in a trade this offseason.
Now, another big-name former Eagle is airing his grievances against the team.
DeSean Jackson was released by the Eagles last offseason, after putting together the most productive campaign of his career in 2013. Reports at the time had the Eagles concerned about some gang connections on Jacksonโs part, as well as a questionable work ethic and a bad attitude. It got to the point last year where the NFLPA looked into whether the Eagles had launched a smear campaign around the move.
Jackson believes they did, as he made clear in the debut of his reality show on BET, DeSean Jackson Home Team.
โWhen I was released by the Eagles, I feel they tried to paint a picture that definitely wasnโt true,โ Jackson said. โIt was a slap in the face, coming off one of my best seasons in the NFL. ... The Eagles tried to blow me up. Thatโs cold how they did it. ... Have I went to jail? ... I ainโt done none of that.โ
