Following his press conference Tuesday, Eagles chairmain/CEO Jeffrey Lurie addressed reporters briefly in the lobby at the NovaCare Complex. Lurie was asked about his opinion on wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who is set to be a free agent this offseason after four seasons with the Eagles during which he posted two 1,000-yard receiving seasons and was given Pro Bowl honors three times.
Jackson, of course, was also deactivated for reportedly missing a team meeting prior to the Week 10 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
"DeSean is a terrific player," Lurie said. "I think his attitude and his whole approach in the final month of the season was terrific, high energy. I think he started to realize and get it. So, you know, I would welcome him back. I think if the right terms develop, he would be welcomed back. We have the leverage of, obviously, we can do what we choose to do and control his situation but, terrific player and I really don't agree with those who think he's tapped his potential fully. I think he hasn't and he has a chance to get even better."
