Did someone say Hakeem Butler 2.0? This isn’t the first time that the Eagles have moved a big-bodied player to TE and it certainly won’t be the last. The team announced on Thursday that they’d signed Tyree Jackson to a futures contract.
The Eagles are forever looking in unconventional places for new talent. They insist on scouring the CFL, dive deep into the waiver wire, and are always on the pulse of practice squads and potential trades.
This move doesn’t come as a complete surprise. Jackson actually worked out for the Eagles about a month ago.
