Sources: CB Jackson to visit Eagles

POSTED: Sunday, March 7, 2010, 4:22 PM

Les Bowen, Daily News Staff Writer

Free-agent cornerback Marlin Jackson will visit the Eagles, sources told the Daily News. Jackson is first scheduled to visit the Ravens.

Jackson, of Sharon, Pa., has played five seasons, all with the Indianapolis Colts. He played 56 games with Indy and had 284 tackles and four interceptions. He played collegiately at Michigan. Jackson, 6-0, 196, has played safety as well as corner. He is coming off two successive seasons ended by serious knee injuries.

Also, as expected, a team source said the Eagles will pick up the $1.5 million bonus due Michael Vick on Tuesday. There was little chance the team would be able to trade Vick as long as other teams thought he might pop free, by way of the Birds declining to pick up the bonus. Picking it up doesn't really make him any more or less likely to be traded before the 2010 season.

They have a strategy-----problem is I think it is an 'exit strategy'.

Go Eagles!!!! They will get some some players to support the defense. Just need a little patience.

The screen that I'm looking at for this post has a picture of Reid, McNabb andthen a picture of that Borat guy in an ad for Netflix. It seems fitting that he should be in the picture now for this bunch of jokers of an organization. I guess they think we'll keep buying their BS.

My brain hurts watching them get worse every year. They pick up someone who cant tackle but can pick off a ball or two and let go a decent LB (the best from last year in fact). Now what? Did they even talk to peppers?

I am an Eagle optimist. Westbrooks comments about the Eagles not interested in doing what is necessary to win worries me. Who can you respect more than Westbrook. Not saying the Eagles should have kept him, but his negative comments on the way out have alarmed me.

Westbrook never said that.

I am so relieved! I thought the front office had been abducted since they haven't done jack **** in free agency. I have a feeling this guy could be just as good a signing as Stacy Andrews.

Kampman had injuries too... Peppers shows up sometimes... there is a reason why these players arent re-signed by their teams. Im waiting for the Mcnabb trade.

Hold me, I'm dizzy. Iceman, that was great. Exit strategy, Romus?...you crack me up, too. Thanks for the laughs. My wife's been a root canal all day.

The Eagles went 11-5 while breaking in a new starters at WR, RB, FB and three on the O-line (LT, RT and RG). They also went through a really tough season on D due to injuries at LB and in the secondary. This team, if healthy, will smash the team record for points. The only thing that could stop them is McDermott, which is funny since he can't figure out how to stop anyone else.

Injured? Multiple Surgeries? Eagles can you on the cheap? Welcome to the EAGLES!! Sanford and Son of the NFL. Look at Andrews bro Stacy..came off injury too.

The Eagles passed on Kampman because of his ACL so now they want to bring in a guy who had ACL tears in both knees. Didn't they learn their lesson with Stacy Andrews? Send in the Clowns.
