The 34-year-old recipient was entering the last year of his agreement (which included years canceled in 2022 and 2023) with the Eagles, and his release will save Philadelphia about $ 4.8 million in cap space. With the Eagles still significantly above the salary cap, moves like these are expected to occur in the coming weeks.
Jackson closes his second stint with the Eagles with just eight games played in two seasons. The veteran was unable to stay healthy enough to make the predicted impact when he returned to Philadelphia, taking 23 passes for 395 yards and three combined touchdowns between 2019 and 2020.
At 34, he still has something inside him, but he needs to stay healthy first of all. We will learn in the coming weeks and months which teams may be interested.
