The Facts: According to multiple sources familiar with the situation, Jackson is unsure about his standing with the Eagles and troubled by what is being written about him. He has reached out to some of his teammates to express his concern. One of Jackson’s top confidants says that the whole situation has become “a bit of a distraction.”

Diehards Line:For the past several weeks, there has been a steady stream of speculation regarding Jackson’s future (some have suggested a trade is possible and some believe Jackson could be released). Others think there's nothing to the talk. Still, it has not gone unnoticed by the veteran receiver, who is currently training out in California. Adding to the confusion/strain is the fact that the Eagles had yet to contact Jackson as of Saturday to offer assurance. This seems a little peculiar, particularly since Chip Kelly has been very careful about making sure his players know where they stand with him. But Jackson is one of the top offensive players on this team, his name is being bandied about as trade bait, and the lines have been silent. Kelly, in his first meeting of the offseason with the media on Friday, had a chance to squash the speculation. Instead, he used the opportunity to take a jab at another media report. ... Stay tuned. Plenty of smoke here. We'll continue to look for signs of actual fire.
