Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson may be 32 years old, but he can still play the game at a high level. There have been rumors for many years now that suggest he could make a return to where it all started with the Philadelphia Eagles. Jackson undoubtedly had his best years with the Eagles and while he did have two solid seasons with the Washington Redskins, it was never the same for Jackson.

After being more or less pushed out of Philadelphia by Chip Kelly, three of the Eagles best offensive players found new homes one after another. LeSean McCoy was traded straight up for linebacker Kiko Alonso in a puzzling move and both Jackson and Maclin soon fled the Philly scene after.

Jackson had two 1,000-yard seasons with the Redskins, but his flashy playmaking ability was at it's best with the Eagles.

Jackson's career-best nine touchdowns that he achieved with Philly twice has not been touched since. Unfortunately, now that Jackson has been with a struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers team, his numbers have taken a hit as well. In two seasons with the Buccaneers, Jackson has a combined 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns.

The Eagles are in need of a wide receiver to complement Alshon Jeffery and their attempt to do so in trading for Golden Tate clearly didn't pan out the way they had hoped. Nelson Agholor has been inconsistent, Mike Wallace didn't catch a single pass in 2018, and Jordan Matthews was a non-factor.

Aside from Jeffery and tight end Zach Ertz, it's clear that Agholor is the next best option in regards to the receiving corps. DeSean Jackson can blow the top off a defense at will and if the Eagles can make a play for him, it could be a huge difference maker.

The offense has a lot of talent, but there is really no explosive player that can make long catches or burn a secondary. While Jeffery and Ertz provide a great security blanket for the Eagles' offense, Jackson could give the Eagles that explosive aspect they have been without since his departure.

Jackson has one more year under his current contract with the Buccaneers, but if necessary Tampa Bay could either cut Jackson or the Eagles may be able to pull off a trade for him. Both are possibilities and it's clear Jackson has always entertained the idea of heading back to Philadelphia.
