Raiders doing ‘background work’ on DeSean Jackson
By Mike Dyce
Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson let the Oakland Raiders know he was interested in the team before he was released. The Raiders are reportedly doing their background work on Jackson before working on a deal to bring Jackson back to California and gauging the risk involved.
Jackson attended Cal-Berkley in the Bay Area and the Raiders could throw money at him, but the Washington Redskins are reportedly interested as well.
The Raiders are still doing background work on DeSean Jackson. My sense is they realize there's some added risk in bringing him home.

If follows reports that the Kansas City Chiefs are out of the running for Jackson, and it was suggested that the number of teams interested in Jackson could be dwindling.
Colleague @RapSheet mentioned the Chiefs being out on Jackson ... Number of serious suitors could be relatively small.
