WR Jackson heading back to Eagles, per sources

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to trade wide receiver DeSean Jackson to the Philadelphia Eagles, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini, confirming earlier reports.

For Jackson, it will be his second stint with the Eagles. Philadelphia drafted him in the second round of the 2008 draft. He spent his first six seasons in Philly, where he averaged 59 catches, more than 1,000 yards and five touchdowns per year. He was unceremoniously cut by coach Chip Kelly in March 2014, following a career year in which Jackson posted 1,332 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
