The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... In a press conference lasted over 45 minutes, HC Andy Reid touched on a variety of subjects including his take on the future of one of the Eagles' most recognizable players - impending free agent Jackson. "We're going to go through and look at all that," Reid said. "We really haven't gotten to that point ... We're analyzing the free agents, we're analyzing what we did, we went through our team then we're going to analyze the draft and then you kind of put all that together and talk through it, where you have a feel on kind of the whole picture of the personnel side of it."

In other words, Reid gave no indication as to how the Jackson situation will play out. ... Jackson's rookie contract is set to expire and the Eagles have to decide, as does Jackson, whether the diminutive receiver will be back in Philadelphia for the 2012 season (and perhaps beyond). As the team's official website noted, there are three potential outcomes for Jackson and the Eagles: the two could come to terms on a long-term contract, bringing Jackson back to Philadelphia for the foreseeable future. They could opt to part ways. Or, the Eagles could use their franchise tag on the receiver, giving him a one-year contract that would pay him the average of the top-five wide receiver salaries in the league. ... In 2011, Jackson caught 58 passes for 961 yards, the first time since his 2008 rookie season in which he didn't amass at least 1,000 yards receiving, though his 961 yards did lead the Eagles. Recent reports have suggested
the two sides are far apart when it comes to Jackson's perceived value.
