Former Chicago Bears safety Harold Jones-Quartey made waves a short time ago. It wasn't on the football field. Instead it was a sudden announcement on Twitter delivering what appeared to be a blatant accusation towards the organization for wrongfully cutting wide receiver Tre McBride after his dustup with teammate Josh Bellamy.
Bellamy stated their fight, which broke out of the receivers locker room and into the hallway at Halas Hall right outside the media room, was purely about football. Jones-Quartey contested that remark. He stated that the real reason for the fight had nothing to do with football. It seems Bellamy had attempted to put moves on McBride's girlfriend.
Naturally in this scenario McBride did not approve of that and confronted Bellamy about it. Certainly a fun soap opera situation but also impossible to prove. Not only that but at least one Bears player was not having it with Jones-Quartey after the remark.
Eddie Jackson called out ex-teammate for Bellamy comment
A man who has quickly emerged as a team leader over the past few months is Eddie Jackson. The young safety won the starting job outright to start the season and has played well since then. This has allowed him to establish himself in the Bears locker room. He knows Jones-Quartey since they worked together during training camp and preseason. It would appear the rookie caught wind of what his former teammate said and was none too happy about it.One thing about Jackson is he's known for being a great teammate. He'll stick up for one of his boys whenever the chance arises. So for him to call out Jones-Quartey isn't a surprise. For his part Jones-Quartey was unmoved by Jackson's challenge. He fired right back with a declaration of his own.
Time will tell on if Jackson will call his bluff.
