+SPORTS CR3W post about the Eagles being interested in a possible trade for Jackson
"We're always interested in talent," Johnson said of Jackson on Sunday at the NFL Annual Meeting in Orlando, Fla.
Free agency has reshuffled rosters across the league. How does this impact the NFL hierarchy? Elliot Harrison weighs in.READ.
Jackson posted this on his +Instagram account a couple night ago. Maybe just coincidence he was feeling nostalgic about his time in Philly or with Vick going, but perhaps he might just be pointing out to anyone interested and those within the Eagles department what they're appearing to be ready to part with.
According to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, Johnson said a trade is not the team's "primary operating motif" right now, as it tries to build through the draft. It has been reported the Eagles might consider cutting Jackson if they can't find any trade partners.
The Jets signed Michael Vick to a contract.
The owner's declaration of interest in Jackson came with some qualifiers, saying they would look to bring in the receiver "at a price we can afford or we feel is appropriate" and "if he fits into the culture of our locker room," per Rapoport.
Johnson's confirmation sits juxtaposed to San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke, who earlier Sunday denied having contacted the Eagles about acquiring Jackson.
The two teams join the +Carolina Panthers and Oakland Raiders as teams who have been linked to Jackson rumors.
The concerns that Johnson noted -- price and locker room distraction -- are two reported reasons the Eagles are looking to part ways with the dynamic receiver.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" discussed DeSean Jackson trade talks, played running back roulette, and welcomed Lance Briggs into the studio.
