DeSean Jackson congratulates Rams on Super Bowl win: 'Never had any hate in me'

[theramswire.usatoday.com]

Before the 2021 season began, DeSean Jackson signed with the Los Angeles Rams with one goal in mind: win a Super Bowl. However, with Jackson’s role in the offense being minimal, the veteran wideout elected to request a trade or release from the Rams, leading to him signing with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Despite Jackson’s departure from the team earlier in the season, he took to Twitter to congratulate the Rams on defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl on Sunday

Never had any hate in me !! Congrats Rams

When Jackson requested his release from the Rams, it came as quite a surprise. Entering the season, it was hard to imagine Jackson having a crucial role with Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, and Van Jefferson ahead of him on the depth chart.

Jackson’s role was to be a deep threat in an offense that now had an aggressive quarterback in Matthew Stafford. In seven games with the Rams, Jackson recorded only eight receptions, 221 yards, and one touchdown.

Even though his goal of winning a Super Bowl remained true, it was obvious that he felt like he could contribute more elsewhere. That being said, he didn’t have much of a role with the Raiders either as he finished with 12 receptions for 233 yards and a touchdown in nine games.

At the least, with Jackson leaving for the Raiders, it led the Rams to sign Odell Beckham Jr. Los Angeles could have pursued Beckham regardless of Jackson’s status with the team, but his departure definitely made it more likely to happen.

Considering he was on the roster to begin the season, Jackson will likely receive a Super Bowl ring from the Rams. So even with Jackson leaving the team at an awkward time, he made it clear that he has no hate towards the Rams.

He shouldn't as far as I'm concerned. He quit on the team and is the antithesis of "we not me."

Agree 100fuckin%!

 

[Memento]

HAHAHAHA! That's a funny joke. ...Oh, wait, he's serious?

Mesean quit on the Rams and got rightfully cut as a result. And now that we won, he wants a ring? Kenny Young is far more deserving, and he's probably not getting a ring. Why should Mesean get one?

 

[RamsSince1969]

if they are giving one to DJ, hand one to Devlin "Duck" Hodges just on his name alone.

Man… Desean TOTALLY misplayed his hand.

As it turns out, with all the injuries at WR, he would have received all the snaps he wanted here. AND a Super Bowl win.

 

[MistahTroupe]

Don't worry Desean, we sent your "trophy" for "participating" in the mail. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors..

 

[TheBunk]

Regardless of how he left, his contributions to the team directly lead to team victories. Let him have a ring.

 

[OldSchool]

He'll likely get a ring as will Young.

He will probably sell it for money.

 

[wolfdogg]

Funny how he's saying that now instead of when he left, or did I miss him thanking the rams for the opportunity and saying there's only love between them

 

[Allen2McVay]

I don't really care much about DeSean Jackson.

Agree he should not get a ring but, I there may be some type of precedent.

However, I hope Kenny Young does get a ring.

 

[Dodgersrf]

Meh.

He only caught a few balls, just so happened that most of them were touch downs.

I really don't care either way.

He really did fuck that up. Guy is a fucking idjit plain and simple.

Odell showed him how it's done. And tbh I don't think we win it all with Jackson in there because it probably means no Odell who played at a pro bowl level for us. I mean Odell makes a low percentage play like a fade look like a fuckin gimme.

 

[Merlin]

Even if he gets a ring though it's just gonna remind him of what a dumbass he is. Classic example of what comes around goes around. Life is harder when you're a dumbshit.

 

[IowaRam]

I wonder if he would ever wear it

 

[Mojo Ram]

Give him a T shirt

 

[Giles]

Who cares? We won the sb.

 

[Loyal]

He will probably sell it for money.

If we’re stupid enough to give him one, that’s the breaks.

 

[Loyal]

The Rams had to balance his discontent and team chemistry with trying to force him to stay, and decided to let him go. Why should he be rewarded for bailing on the Rams? If we cut him due to our needs, I’d say give him one, but why should he be rewarded for being an ass?
