In lieu of his controversial Instagram post, DeSean Jackson has spoken with General Manager Howie Roseman “a lot today,” John Clark of NBCSports Philadelphia is reporting.

According to Clark, the embattled wide receiver also is scheduled to speak with owner Jeff Lurie at some point as well.

It remains to be seen what further action the Eagles might take or require of Jackson, but both the team’s GM and Owner come from Jewish descent and the comments will likely be hard to come back from regardless of Jackson’s ignorance.

Jackson apologized for the Instagram post that attributed a fake quote to Adolf Hitler saying, “the Jews will blackmail America.”

Jackson is working out in Tampa with teammate Miles Sanders, and according to reports, he’s also had some conversation with Eagles star quarterback Carson Wentz as well.

The Philadelphia Eagles could easily get on their high-horse and make a political statement by cutting or releasing DeSean Jackson over his “highly inappropriate” comments and fake quotes attributing Hitler recently.

The Eagles released a statement and Jackson put out this heartfelt apology.

With everything going on in society today, the Birds and Jeffrey Lurie should use this as a teaching moment for Jackson considering all the hard work he does in the community and his overall good intentions on a daily basis.

The Eagles and Michael Vick used Riley Cooper’s 2013 fiasco as a teaching moment when the former Florida Gators wideout threatened to fight every “nigger” at a Kenny Chesney concert.

Vick, the then starting quarterback of the Eagles, led the charge for Cooper to get a second-chance and use the situation as a teaching moment despite the fact that LeSean McCoy and other Eagles veterans were livid at Vick for taking such a stance.

The same should be said for Jackson, who will suffer enough with the embarrassment of knowing the quotes and comments from Hitler weren’t even real. This moment is bigger than football and it shouldn’t be used to turn Jackson into a pariah when he does so much good for the community outside of this slipup.

The Eagles should fine Jackson and take the measures to ensure he learns and it doesn’t happen again, but his career shouldn’t end or be defined by this moment.

A quiet offseason for the Philadelphia Eagles went up in flames late Monday night when star wide receiver DeSean Jackson posted what many deemed to be anti-Semitic messages on social media Monday that he attributed to Adolf Hitler and other quotes and shares of information attributed to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

The Instagram story featured a quote attributed to Hitler that said “[white Jews] will blackmail America and [They] will extort America, but their plan for world domination won’t work if the Negroes know who they were.”

DeSean clarified his post on Monday, stating that he doesn’t hate Jewish people.

“Anyone who feels I have hate towards the Jewish community took my post the wrong way,” Jackson wrote. “I have no hatred in my heart towards no one!! Equality equality.”

The Eagles have not yet commented on the posts.
