After weeks of speculation and rumors, wide receiver DeSean Jackson was released by the Philadelphia Eagles this week.
Jackson has denied gang affiliations, but his off-the-field relationships were apparently enough to cause concern with the Eagles.
While one Eagles player seemed excited with the decision made by the organization, a member of the Super Bowl winning Seahawks has expressed support of DeSean Jackson.
Richard Sherman took his Twitter account Saturday with a message regarding the situation and included a photo of the two on the same Little League baseball team.

Given his game-changing ability, DeSean Jackson likely won’t be without a team for long. He’s expected to visit the Washington Redskins on Monday. The Raiders, Jets, Chiefs and Bills are also reportedly interested in the 27-year-old who posted career-highs of 82 receptions and 1,332 yards in 2013.
