DeSean Jackson Rumors: Redskins in, Chiefs reportedly out - Big Blue View

So the 2 NFL coaches he's had, Reid and Kelly, both shy away from him? Not good.

Well I don't know why, but Kelly was basically promising DJ that the Eagles weren't going to release him. I read that DJ wanted to stay and continued to ask Kelly if the Eagles were going to release him and that'd he be hurt if the Eagles decided to cut him loose. To which Kelly insisted (on more than one occasion) that the Eagles had no intentions of releasing him.

So I'm not sure what's up with that.

As his college coach Ted Tedford, even Michael Silver a Cal Alumni and known homer dislikes him. Here's something he wrote in 2008 during his rookie season when he wrote for Yahoo:

DeSean Jackson, that was so cute the way you announced your alma mater as Long Beach Poly during the Sunday Night Football telecast of the Eagles-Giants game, ignoring your three-year stint at the University of California. Not only did you manage to diss the nation's No. 1 public university in a very public way, but you also – quite shockingly – drew attention to your favorite person: DeSean Jackson. Yes, I know, that whole selfishness thing at Cal was totally overblown. Even though the coaching staff once punished you for a violation of team rules by forcing you to learn the names of each of your teammates, I'm sure they were just tripping. But I have a feeling that after Sunday's conspicuous disavowal of your Golden Bear ties, many of my fellow alums – including the ones who blasted me on message boards when I referred to you as "MeSean" before the draft – are probably rethinking their devotion. Congratulations on another good game in a successful rookie season. And, from the bottom of my blue-and-gold heart, thank you for leaving early.

Are you really going to judge the guy for what he did while in college? Didn't you do some things you regretted when you were young?

Cap number and he isn't a "chip" guy. A new regime wants his guys.

To the others who saying Reid isn't interested is red flag is crap. The chiefs simply can't afford d jax, they are gonna have big cap problems starting next year. Simply not fesiable.

We don't have much more cap space than the Chiefs, now or into the future. If we can bend things to make DJax's cap number work, so can the Chiefs.

Yet they are not interested.

I think the number one reason was money. The other stuff can be managed. He's not going out and robbing people.
