Turns out the Philadelphia Eagles miss DeSean Jackson, after all.
The Eagles are likely to pursue a reunion with the now Washington Redskins wide receiver during the offseason, according to ESPN.
Jackson, who spent his first six seasons in the NFL with Philadelphia, making three Pro Bowls during his tenure there, will be an unrestricted free agent after the season. The Redskins are believed to be more focused on new contracts for quarterback Kirk Cousins and wideout Pierre Garcon.

Sources told ESPN that Jackson and Eagles coach Doug Pederson are big admirers of each other, and Philadelphia can benefit from Jackson's deep threat even though he just turned 30.
Jackson recorded 356 receptions for 6,117 yards and 32 touchdowns with the Eagles before being released before the 2014 season. At the time, there were concerns Jackson's associates were either linked to or charged with gang-related crimes, although the Eagles and Jackson both denied the issue led to his release.
