At least a half-dozen teams reportedly have contacted the agent for DeSean Jackson following Friday's release from the Philadelphia Eagles.
Gregg Rosenthal has filed Around The League's list of potential landing spots. Which of those eight teams already are showing interest in the playmaking wideout?
Here is our Jackson tracker:
1. Kansas City Chiefs: The Kansas City Star's Terez Paylor reported Friday afternoon the Chiefs are among the teams pursuing Jackson. The news comes as no surprise. Coach Andy Reid spoke glowingly of his former No. 1 receiver earlier in the week.
2. New York Jets: People in the Jets' organization are still interested in Jackson following his release, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. It's unclear whether it's owner Woody Johnson or general manager John Idzik holding a candle for Jackson.
3. Oakland Raiders: In addition to confirming the interest of the Chiefs and Jets, Yahoo Sports' Rand Getlin reports the Raiders are in on the pursuit of Jackson. Oakland is close to Jackson's alma mater and can offer him a more lucrative contract than other competitors.
4. Carolina Panthers: Although coach Ron Rivera told USA Today the Panthers would be interested, multiple reports emphatically have declared that general manager Dave Gettleman will
not be in the mix for the talented but controversial wide receiver.
Among the teams reported to have varying levels of interest prior to Jackson's release are the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
Teams not in the hunt:" A league source tells the Chicago Tribune the Bears have no interest in Jackson.
" The Arizona Republic confirms the Cardinals are not interested in adding Jackson.
