ASHBURN, Va. - It would be some story if the Eagles replaced DeSean Jackson with DeSean Jackson. As it is, the polarizing wide receiver with blinding speed has been out of Philadelphia for nearly three years and still his name and his impact linger.
Shortly before kickoff Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, a story surfaced on ESPN.com that the Eagles would likely make an effort to bring Jackson back to Philadelphia after the season. If someone from the Eagles told ESPN that, the team is guilty of tampering, a serious offense that cost Kansas City Chiefs some hefty fines and two draft picks for their premature dealings with former Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who signed with them as a free agent in 2015.
