As he searches for a new home following his abrupt release from the Philadelphia Eagles, DeSean Jackson will pay a visit this Monday to one of the Eagles’ biggest rivals, the Washington Redskins. And according to NBC News in Washington, should everything fall into place, the Redskins is exactly where he wants to end up when all is said and done.


Aside from the fact that he would end up staying in the NFC East and having two cracks at the Eagles every year, this move is intriguing given the fact that RG III would be getting some of the best help that Dan Snyder’s money can buy. The offense was criticized for their down year last season, but with Jackson in the fold, there would be no excuses.

Whether or not something can get done on Monday remains to be seen, but you never know when Mr. Snyder is the one holding the checkbook.
