The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... According to multiple reports on Saturday, the Eagles will likely part ways with the exciting-but-flamboyant Jackson, who caught 82 passes for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns last season. A trade with the Chiefs, however, seems unlikely. Don't expect the Chiefs to pursue Jackson unless he's released.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
This according to Star staffer Terez Paylor, who notes the Eagles reportedly want a third-round pick, and the Chiefs are already short on picks this year due to the Alex Smith trade. But more importantly, the Chiefs don't have a ton of cap space -- only $4.8 million, according to NFL Players Association records -- and Jackson has a 2014 cap number of $12.5 million. Chiefs coach Andy Reid knows what Jackson can do -- he drafted him in 2009, back when he was in charge of the Eagles --- and Jackson's vertical speed and knowledge of Reid's offense would seem to make him an optimal fit in Kansas City. But at this point a reunion seems unlikely.
