Jason Kelce ‘excited’ with decision to cut DeSean Jackson

Chip Kelly has made it clear that he is going to do things a certain way with the Philadelphia Eagles, and it should be noted that his decision to cut DeSean Jackson on Friday is receiving some support from the team. Shortly after the news surfaced, offensive lineman Jason Kelce sent the following tweet.

We just made an extremely unpopular decision, but I couldn't be more excited and happy with where this organization is going!! #FlyEaglesFly

Kelce, who has been with the Eagles for the last three seasons, obviously agrees with the decision. That means Jackson must have been doing something — whether it was skipping meetings and not working hard or associating with shady people off the field — that his teammates didn’t agree with. Otherwise, why would anyone be happy to lose their best wide receiver?

Kelce then wished Jackson well in a separate tweet.

Good luck with whatever team you end up with DeseanJackson10!

In addition to releasing Jackson, the Eagles have also gotten rid of Michael Vick and Jason Avant this offseason. Kelly is clearly taking the team through a change that involves getting rid of veterans and people who don’t fit in with what he’s trying to accomplish.
