There was more proof against Richard Jewell. Philadelphia was happy to have known dirtbags like Riley Cooper and Michael Vick on the team.

The kid’s got talent though. One of my favorite plays was when he ran back a punt return against the Giants. I think the Beagles scored like 20 points in the last 3 minutes of the game.

A defunctional player signing with a defunctional team.
Perfect match.

How is it risky? This isn't trading up for RG3 - the Skins didn't give away multiple high draft picks for Jackson. All they risk is Dan Snyder's money, and I'd guess he has plenty more where that came from. Jackson is one of the fastest players in the league and a play-maker - if he plays like it, you've acquired a great offensive weapon for nothing. If he's the slightest bit of trouble you throw him and his non-guaranteed contract out the door.

Anyway, all I've heard so far is some vague insinuations about gangs, along with a categorical denial by Jackson that he's ever been a gang member. Any GM refraining from signing Jackson because of whispers is a dolt - I wish the 49ers had signed him, and I'm glad they at least tried.
