What will $39 million with $26 million guaranteed get you during the NFL‘s free agency signing period? Well, it may not get you the best cornerback available if you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan, but it will get you one of the game’s best nose tackles.

For Jackson, his run with Philly a season ago was cut short before it even began after he was signed on March 13th of 2019 and watched his journey end almost six months later in September’s regular-season opener after he suffered a season-ending foot injury versus the Washington Redskins.
