Philadelphia Eagles Looking to Trade DeSean Jackson?

The Desean Jackson Saga in Philadelphia is bound to result in the talented but troublesome wide receiver being traded, but as of yet the Eagles are not officially shopping him around. Lucky for him they don't have to. Since it is pretty well known that Chip Kelly is not a fan of the baggage Jackson brings with him teams are coming to him.

If either of the two rumored to be interested get him the power in either the AFC or NFC is going to shift dramatically.

From Bleacher Report

CSN’s Derrick Gunn is reporting that the team has told Jackson that it is not actively shopping him, but that they are listening to offers. According to Gunn two teams showing interest in Jackson are the 49ers and Patriots.

Crazy thing is the supposed asking price is just a third round pick. While he does come with some baggage that is still a bargain when you consider the potential upside. Last season he set career highs with 82 receptions and 1332 yards--and that was with Nick Foles behind center most of the season (who was pretty good at spreading the ball around).

His attitude has to be a concern, but if there were any two coaches that could handle him it would be Harbaugh and Billichick.

If that is really all they want for the 27-year old Jackson I can't imagine one if not both of these guys making an offer for him. Both are already among the favorites next season, but with a weapon like Jackson added to the mix that could be enough to move either to the front of the pack.
