Jackson bid farewell to Tampa Bay earlier in the day, having sought an exit all offseason. Philadelphia was one of the destinations he wanted.
Jackson’s numbers have slipped since he left Philadelphia, and he caught 41 passes for 774 yards and four touchdowns. A move to the Eagles will, he likely hopes, help his career and lift his numbers back toward where they were in their prime, and he’ll hook up with quarterback Carson Wentz in 2019.
