The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Matt Schaub knows that he's essentially in a one-year tryout for the Oakland Raiders. So he understandably wants all the help he can get. "I'd love to see (Jackson) out there," Schaub said Monday on Sirius XM NFL Radio. "He's a phenomenal talent, a great player. The times I've been around him, a great guy."

Schaub continued: "I think he can add a lot to any team, especially ours in Oakland and really think he can a big help to what we're trying to build and I'd love to have him at my disposal as a receiver. ..." While NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal believes the Raiders are the most likely team to add Jackson -- because they have the salary-cap room to give Jackson the contract he'll want and they have a desperate need to add explosiveness to the offense, there's ample reason to question whether Schaub is capable of taking advantage of what Jackson has to offer. Speed is the former Eagles stock in trade, and Rosenthal points out that Schaub was never great at throwing the deep ball and his own confidence in that aspect of his game has waned. ... Still, Jackson to Oakland is possible. Assuming Jackson's visit with the Redskins today doesn't yield a contract.
