After reading up on this, Eagles were going to release Jackson anyway. He is apparently hated by the team for being a selfish nigger, yet a very productive player. All about him.
As for the gang, I'm not big on guilt by association. His friends may be in gang, but he hasn't done anything illegal in that direction that I know of.
Anyway, the situation was somewhat different than I surmised upthread, but certainly the gang friendships if not membership were a factor in the release or its timing. What I had not realized was that the team was almost certainly going to release him anyway for a number of reasons.
