UPDATE: ESPN’s Josina Anderson reports Malik Jackson is expected to sign with the Eagles. That was fast! Original story below.
The Philadelphia Eagles are seemingly interested in free agent interior defensive lineman Malik Jackson. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports he’s hearing Jackson is close to a new deal and the Eagles and Green Bay Packers are “the primary options.”
Signing Jackson, who turned 29 in January, would make sense for the Eagles because defensive tackle is a big need for Philadelphia.
