On Friday's edition of the " Around The League Podcast," we all took a stab at DeSean Jackson's next landing spot.
Gregg Rosenthal's penchant for following the money has given him a leg up with his choice of the Oakland Raiders.
Prior to his release, Jackson put the word out to the Raiders of his interest in joining the organization, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via sources involved in the situation.
The Raiders were Jackson's favorite team growing up, per Rapoport. Oakland also is close to the wide receiver's Bay Area college roots at Cal.
The interest is mutual. Rapoport also hears the Raiders have been doing research on Jackson for more than a week.
That doesn't mean they will make a rash decision, however. They're still narrowing the knowledge gap with Kansas City, where Chiefs coach Andy Reid also an interest -- as well as five years of experience as Jackson's head coach.
In addition to the Raiders and Chiefs, " several" more teams are in the mix, according to Rapoport. Our " DeSean Jackson tracker" has all of the latest updates on the Jets, Panthers and Buccaneers as well.
Nearly 24 hours after Jackson's release, the Raiders and Chiefs appear to be the frontrunners for his services.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" reviews potential landing spots for DeSean Jackson and declares this week's winners and losers.
