The Facts: Yeah, HC Chip Kelly called Jackson. Sure, Jackson went to social media to create the impression that Kelly calmed his nerves. There's also a report DeSean has told teammates he’s staying with the Eagles in 2014. To all of that we say one word: So? It’s way too little and way too late for the Eagles to reverse weeks of momentum pointing toward Jackson leaving the team. It would be a shock at this point if he’s back with the Eagles.

Diehards Line: This according to PFT's Mike Florio, who then doubled down. "It would be more than a shock," Florio wrote. "At this point, our assessment remains that there’s no chance Jackson will be back. It doesn’t matter that Kelly called Jackson. The call should have come days if not weeks ago, if the Eagles remain committed to Jackson. ..." God points Florio also noted that GM Howie Roseman surely could have laid the situation to rest with a firm denial. He didn't. ... Whatever the case, we'll continue to watch for more and follow up as developments warrant. And we suspect they will.
