New Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson got to finally hold a Lombardi trophy as he visited Jeffery Lurie this weekend.

Before he was sent off into Free Agency suddenly in 2014, NFL wide receiver DeSean Jackson was one of the few faces of the Philadelphia Eagles. Although those times weren’t spent winning a ton of postseason games, those were surely fun days for the Eagles. Unfortunately, Jackson never got to experience a significant postseason run, as he wasn’t around for the Eagles 2017 season.

He could’ve been, as the Eagles searched for a veteran wide receiver, who was known for speed during the 2017 offseason. Jackson decided that the Eagles’ offer was not high enough on the financial end. So he ended up in Tampa Bay with the Buccaneers. Instead, the Eagles went out and got a cheaper option in Torrey Smith, which obviously worked out well enough to win it all.

Although Jackson was upset that the Eagles didn’t match his desired price tag in 2017, he’s excited to be back home where his NFL career started. As Jackson made it clear he wants to be on a competitive team this time around, he’s more about winning as a collective, rather than winning financially. So as the Eagles welcomed the veteran wideout back into the city, Eagles’ owner Jeffery Lurie recently gave Jackson a taste of what could be for this season.

On Saturday night, Jackson seems to have paid a visit to Eagles’ owner, Jeffery Lurie. That’s when DeSean got to hold the Lombardi trophy for the first time. Although he wasn’t a part of that 2017-2018 team, the Eagles owner is making sure that Jackson gets to know what the ultimate goal is this season. There’s probably nothing more motivational than that.

Jackson has had his issues with the Eagles in the recent past, but he’s made it known that all of that is left behind. With Chip Kelly way out of the picture, Jackson’s just happy to be back where it all started. And hopefully this time around, he gets to experience what he’s never experienced before. That’s a Super Bowl run. The 2019 NFL season couldn’t come soon enough.
