DeSean Jackson, WR

Would it really be a surprise at this point if Jackson returned to Philadelphia? It already seems Jackson wants to reunite with the Eagles and, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the feeling is mutual.

Defensive end Brandon Graham touched on the topic during a recent appearance on TSN’s Breakfast on Broad. According to Graham, it certainly sounds like Jackson has his sights set on a return to the City of Brotherly Love.

"“I talked to him when Doug [Pederson] got hired. And he was like ‘Tell coach come get me,’ that type of stuff. We had fun during the season. He was like, ‘BG, I’ll be back.’ Just a little fun. But now that it’s official, as far as the season about to be over, I think you’ll be hearing a lot of noise about it.”"

Jackson is 30 years old and entering the decline of his career, but he is still one of the league’s premier deep threats and would be welcomed back with open arms in Philadelphia.
