WR Jackson says Kelly firing was simply 'karma'

Washington Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson had a simple message for former Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly: What goes around, comes around.

"I'm a firm believer that bad karma comes back on you," Jackson told The MMQB.com in an article published Friday.

Jackson was released by the Eagles after Kelly's first season in 2013, and the receiver made it clear this past offseason that he felt the Eagles ran a "smear campaign" against him.

The Eagles fired Kelly on Tuesday after going just 26-21 over the past three seasons, including a 6-9 record in 2015.
