The Philadelphia Eagles made a bit of a splash this NFL offseason with the acquisition of wide receiver DeSean Jackson. He has wasted no time in expressing his expectations moving forward.
According to TMZ Sports, Jackson says the Eagles are looking to add another ring to the trophy case:

Jackson's comments should hardly come as any surprise. He admitted that watching the Eagles win Super Bowl LII left him a sense of unfinished business after the team failed to finish the job during his first stint with the team. It is clear that a championship will be the goal this time around.
Fortunately, Jackson's desires fall in line with what Philadelphia hopes to do. Although they are just two seasons removed from their first Super Bowl in franchise history, the front office is not ready to rest on their merits just yet. The Eagles have had to make some significant changes to their roster since then. However, they have managed to avoid any serious turnover with the solid additions they made.
Jackson was not shy about expressing his disdain with his role in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense last year. As a result, Tampa Bay traded him and a 2020 seventh-round pick in exchange for sixth-rounder in this year's draft. The veteran will have an opportunity to provide the Eagles with plenty of bang for their buck if he can become an integral part of their offense moving forward.
