When DeSean Jackson was released by the Philadelphia Eagles this week, his ties to the Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins nominated him for a 2021 reunion. After all, it is the infancy of the offseason, so every player that is released finds a hypothetical path to Minnesota. These just-released-free-agent spitball scenarios rarely pan out, but some folks find them irresistible.
Jackson takes center stage for the phantom “bring him to the Vikings” chatter, at least for a news cycle or so. Together, Jackson and Cousins were tremendous for the Washington Football Team. It was Jackson that was an early grabber of Cousins’ balls, aiding Cousins’ statistical production to the utmost.
