Dynamic receiver DeSean Jackson is retiring from the NFL and doing so with the Philadelphia Eagles this Friday, the team announced.

And then he’ll serve as an honorary game captain for this Sunday’s Eagles matchup against the 49ers. It’ll be a matchup of last year’s NFC title game. But before it kicks, the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field can show their support for Jackson.

The receiver last played for the Ravens in 2022. But he hasn’t been in the league this season. Philadelphia is the right place for the receiver to call it a career. After all, the Eagles selected Jackson in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. And, he played two stints with Philadelphia.

This is a developing story with more details to come.
