Eagles should give DeSean Jackson exactly what he wants
The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the best rosters in football right now. They may have lost a great defender in C.J. Gardner-Johnson and had to get younger at a few other spots, but this team is just as good, if not better, than the one that just made it to the Super Bowl. While […]
The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the best rosters in football right now. They may have lost a great defender in C.J. Gardner-Johnson and had to get younger at a few other spots, but this team is just as good, if not better, than the one that just made it to the Super Bowl.
While many of the traditional fans of the game love to cite Philly's talented defense, everyone with a modern understanding of the game knows that offense is actually what wins championships now, and the Eagles are blessed with one of the most complete offenses in the league.
From a stellar offensive line to and MVP-caliber quarterback and one of the best wide receiver duos in the league, this team is loaded and ready to go in 2023. But why stop there?
Teams should always be willing to upgrade certain positions. Wide receiver is absolutely one of them, and they may get a chance at one of the fastest players in the league.
DeSean Jackson may be getting up there in age, but he made it clear that he still has loyalties to the Eagles and is willing to join the team late in the season if they call.
Why would the Eagles ever say no? Jackson may be hard to keep healthy for an entire season, but adding him late in the year for a playoff run as he suggested isn't a new practice and tends to work well for hyper-competitive teams.
Having a way to add that extra dimension to the offense late in the year with another excellent vertical threat on a cheap deal seems like an easy way to keep the pressure on the opponents and give Jalen Hurts as many ways as possible to succeed. Plus, you get to bring a Philly legend back to the city where he made a name for himself.
This should be a no-brainer for the Eagles.
