This guy is a potential Hernandez waiting to happen. He's a POS.

Didn't people say the same things about Marshawn? I remember him being called;
- lazy
- thug
- problem waiting to happen
I'm not for signing Jackson, but I think you're overreacting on the whole "he's the next Hernandez" thing.

Jackson, while incredibly talented, I am on the NO bandwagon. Gang associates, major diva, poor work ethic...HELL NO!!!!
Extensions please!!! DRAFT!!!
I have said my piece.

People have the shortest memories, the same exact things were said about Marshawn. Out of anybody in the league, I would think Pete is the perfect fit to get this kids life back on track. The work Pete does to make these players better people is huge. Plus we all know how the media loves to blow this "thug" crap out of proportion, hearing Adam Schefter say "throw gang signals" made me die laughing.

Would #Seahawks want DeSean Jackson? Not if gang reports are true. @PeteCarroll runs http://ABetterLA.org to help rid LA of gang violence
Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora
The Seahawks, 49ers, Jets, Raiders among the trams that had prior interest in DeSean Jackson, FWIW. Have a gut Seattle is a major player

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
And now up to 6 teams already calling on DeSean Jackson. And counting.

In this situation the prove it deal isn't proving his production on the field, it's proving he can keep his nose clean off the field. In addition to the gang stuff, there's lots of reports of him missing meetings, berating teammates and arguing with coaches. He's a diva. He needs to prove he can be a team player.
The guy needed to be put in his place and his livelihood put in jeopardy apparently. Lots of people respond well to these challenges and turn things around because they thought they were irreplaceable before. He's not, I hope he gets the message.
Our FO has picked up plenty of these guys in the past and it's worked out. He's being hit in the pocket book now and that's usually when these guys wise up.
