PHILADELPHIA - DeSean Jackson went from the trading block to the chopping block. Jackson is out in Philly — just as Mark Sanchez was on his way into town. Unable to find a taker on the trade market, the Eagles released him, ending the Pro Bowl wide receivers six-year stint with the team. His playmaking days are over in Philly, and the tailspin from key cog to unexpected free agent comes with a hint that off-field issues are at the root of the split. Jackson thanked the Eagles organization and fans in a statement Friday, and also denied "unfounded reports" that he was released for any reason related to his lifestyle. "I would like to make it very clear that I am not and never have been part of any gang," Jackson said. "I am not a gang member and to speculate and assume that I am involved in such activity off the field is reckless and irresponsible. I work very hard on and off the field and I am a good person with good values. "I am proud of the accomplishments that I have made both on and off the field. I have worked tirelessly to give back to my community and have a positive impact on those in need. It is unfortunate that I now have to defend myself and my intentions. These reports are irresponsible and just not true." Before releasing Jackson, the Eagles announced they had signed Sanchez. Bounced out of New York after the Jets signed Michael Vick last week, Sanchez moved down turnpike to Philadelphia in what essentially was a swap with Vick. "I think we passed each other on the train," Sanchez said, laughing. Sanchez can wave goodbye to Jackson, too. Jackson was coming off a career-best season in Philadelphia, leading the team with 82 catches for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns. He had a $10.25 million contract for the 2014 season and was signed through 2016. "After careful consideration over this off-season, the Philadelphia Eagles have decided to part ways with DeSean Jackson," the Eagles said in a statement. The Eagles had no other comment. Jacksons agent, Joel Segal, did not immediately return a request for comment. Jackson has 356 career receptions for 6,117 yards and 32 touchdowns. Hes a dangerous returner who went to the Pro Bowl in 2009 after taking two punts the distance. Jackson has four career scores on punt returns, including the memorable 65-yard game-ending return to cap a comeback win over the New York Giants in 2010. The 27-year-old receiver is entering his seventh NFL season. The Eagles had been put out feelers that Jackson was available. Coach Chip Kelly refused to commit on Jacksons return at this weeks NFL meetings. But other teams could be quick to sign one of the NFLs top receivers. Speaking at the NFL meetings, Jets owner Woody Johnson expressed interest in Jackson, saying: "Were looking at a number of players, including DeSean." Jackson could be a showboat — memorably dropping the ball in celebration before the goal line after an apparent long touchdown — and upset the Eagles this season when he lobbied for a new contact shortly after they were eliminated in the playoffs. His departure leaves the Eagles with Riley Cooper, who survived a video scandal that showed him using the N-word at a concert, and Jeremy Maclin as the starting wide receivers. "We just made an extremely unpopular decision, but I couldnt be more excited and happy with where this organization is going!! #FlyEaglesFly," offensive lineman Jason Kelce tweeted. Theres no locker room divide at quarterback. Sanchez, in his sixth year in the league, will be added to a mix of quarterbacks that includes Nick Foles, Matt Barkley and G.J. Kinne. In college, Barkley succeeded Sanchez at Southern California. "Im not stirring up a controversy," Sanchez said at a news conference. "Im here to help this team win." While Vick will compete with Smith for the starting job in New York, Sanchez comes to Philadelphia as insurance. Foles had a breakout sophomore season and led the Eagles to the NFC East title after replacing an injured Vick in Week 5. Foles threw 29 touchdowns and only two interceptions in 11 starts, including a playoff loss to New Orleans. The Eagles still have plenty of offensive playmakers, trading for running back Darren Sproles to go along with NFL rushing champion LeSean McCoy. The options were part of what made Philadelphia so appealing to Sanchez. "This team, this coach, the kind of offensive firepower they have," Sanchez said, "its just an exciting element to being here in Philadelphia."

Dave Taylor Jersey . - Veteran Kings defenceman Robyn Regehr, sidelined since Game 1 of the Anaheim series, says hes close to returning.Roy Hodgson has named a 26-man England squad for the friendlies with Turkey and Australia which he will trim to 23 for Euro 2016. But who will make the cut? The England boss has picked three goalkeepers, seven defenders, 11 midfielders and five forwards. Three of those players wont be included when Hodgson announces his final squad on May 31. Im making life that little bit harder for myself by having to reduce that to 23, said Hodgson. But you never know what will happen in the preparation phase. Maybe some of these decisions will be made for me. As Hodgson suggests, injuries could make his task more straightforward but should everyone come through unscathed he will have some tough calls to make.Here we look at which players could be at risk of missing out on the final Euro 2016 squad… Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster, Joe Hart, Tom Heaton England must take three goalkeepers to Euro 2016, according to UEFA regulations, so Forster, Hart and Heaton will be on their way to France.

Even a run to the final would mean just seven matches for Hodgsons men - a workload youd expect Bertrand, Clyne, Walker and Rose to be able to cope with, given they are first-team regulars in the Premier League.Clyne played six of Englands 10 qualifiers, while Walker and Bertrand featured only once and Rose didnt play at all - although he did start the two most recent friendlies against Germany and Netherlands.

So who could be at risk?Terry Butcher is tipping Delph to miss the trip, given his limited impact this season since switching to Manchester City. The former Aston Villa midfielder made just eight Premier League starts in 2015/16. The only thing that stood out for me was Fabian Delph being in there . There are three players who have to be jettisoned and Id say Delph will be one of the three. Terry Butcher Henderson and Wilshere will have to prove their fitness after missing substantial game-time but their presence in the 26-man group suggests Hodgson is willing to give them every chance of doing just that.Should they convince the manager of their readiness, Drinkwater - who claimed the man of the match prize on his England debut in March - could be the central midfielder to miss out, given his lack of international experience.Sterling has been far from his best at Manchester City this season, registering just three goals and two assists, but only Joe Hart made more appearances in qualifying and Hodgson is loyal to his regulars.Thats something Townsend has found out to his advantage. After missing the last round of England friendlies his impressive form since moving to Newcastle has won him a return to the international fold. Lallana on song This season, Adam Lallana has equalled his Premier League best tally of six assists in one campaign, double his total of three in 2014/15. As well as a threat from the bench - all three of Townsends England goals have come in the final 20 minutes - the winger could also fill the vvoid left by the injured Danny Welbeck on the left.dddddddddddd.PFA Young Player of the Year Alli and team-mate Dier seem certain to feature in France after making impressive starts to their England careers, while Barkley, fresh from his most productive season yet, and Liverpool pair Lallana and Milner also seem on course to make the cut.

Premier League top scorer Kane could not have done more and pacey Vardy, who finished second in the goal standings to Kane, is the man of the moment.Sturridge has endured a number of injury lay-offs this season but has continued to score regularly for Liverpool. He didnt feature at all in qualifying but was Hodgsons first-choice frontman at the World Cup. [Marcus Rashford] is one of the contenders. Theres no reason why, if he does exceptionally well, he cant knock someone off their perch. Roy Hodgson Rashfords inclusion is intriguing. The 18-year-old Manchester United striker was expected to be invited to train with the senior squad after impressing at Old Trafford but Hodgson suggested in his press conference it was not inconceivable that Rashford could force his way into the final 23.Bear in mind hes in the Manchester United team in front of Rooney in his favoured position, Stuart Pearce told Sky Sports. Hes had a wonderful end of the season and given United a big lift - and it will give the kid a big lift being involved in the senior squad.
