Jackson openly admitted he was interested in hitting the free-agent market in December, and has considered joining the Eagles since at least February, calling the potential reunion a "great story".

Jackson played the first six years of his career with the Eagles.

The 30-year-old can still provide potential suitors with a deep threat, averaging 17.9 yards per catch in 2016 as he racked up 1,005 yards on 56 catches with four touchdowns.
