The New York Jets are welcoming Michael Vick for a visit Friday, but the quarterback might not be the only former Philadelphia Eagle donning a Gang Green uniform in 2014.
DeSean Jackson, who’s reportedly being shopped by the Eagles this offseason, is drawing interest from the Jets, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported Thursday. A recent report out of Philly indicated that the New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers also are inquiring about the wide receiver, who’s on the books for $10.5 million next season.
Rapoport notes that Vick and Jackson “are close,” meaning the Jets could be favorites to land the star wideout should the quarterback join Rex Ryan’s club.
