Report: DeSean Jackson to Blue Bombers a “done deal”

Posted by Curtis Crabtree on March 31, 2014, 11:34 PM EDT

The DeSean Jackson free agency tour may turn out to be a short trip.

Jackson arrived in Winnipeg to meet with the Blue Bombers on Monday evening in a visit that will continue into Tuesday. According to Tim McManus of 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia, and brother of Winnipeg assistant general manager Danny McManus, things are already progressing toward a possible deal between the two sides.

McManus cites sources relaying that discussions between the two sides are going “very well” and a source close to Jackson that said it’s a “done deal” with the Blue Bombers.

The Bombers are currently the only visit that Jackson has lined up. A second visit, probably with the Edmonton Eskimos, would be scheduled if a deal isn’t done in Winnipeg.

Jackson was released by the Eagles on Friday and is coming off the best season of his career. Jackson caught 82 passes for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns with the Eagles last season.

Jackson reportedly is seeking $150-$200,000 a season in a new contract. He was scheduled to make $10.5 million with the Eagles this season before being released.
