Jackson, 25, wound up going undrafted out of Buffalo back in 2019, converting from quarterback to tight end. He signed with the Bills but lasted just a few months before he was waived at the start of the regular season.
The Eagles signed him to a futures contract in January of 2021 and he’s been on the roster ever since, although he’s missed significant time due to injuries. He was cut loose by Philadelphia last week.
In 2021, Jackson appeared in nine games for the Eagles and started three of them. He caught three passes for 22 yards and one touchdown.
