Philly has decided to release DeSean Jackson from his contract. Jackson is coming off the best season of his career but his off the field issues have led the Eagles to cut him. Apparently, Jackson's situation was so bad that the Eagles would not consider trading him, not wanting to pass the burden of Jackson onto another team.
