Looks like DeSean Jaccson is on the move again.

He’s reportedly going to be released since the Rams weren’t able to move him at the trade deadline:

Per @MikeGarafolo on NFLN just now:

Doesn't sound like DeSean Jackson will find a trade partner, but he's expected to be released by the end of the day if no trade partner is found.

This follows a report from last week, when D Jax and the Rams had apparently decided to mutually part ways:

The #Rams and WR DeSean Jackson have mutually agreed to seek a trade partner, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. The 34-year-old can still run, averaging 27.6 yards per catch this year, including a 75-yard TD.

Why go elsewhere if you’re DeSean? I guess he wasn’t playing enough. He’s appeared in six games this year, catching eight passes on 15 targets for 221 yards and a touchdown. He caught a 68 yard pass against the Seahawks and 75 yard bomb against the Bucs. He’s back home in California and playing on a good team, and at 34 years old, having not won a playoff game since 2008, this was his best chance for a ring.

As for the Birds, they’re allegedly standing pat:

The #Eagles are not trading Pro Bowl DT Fletcher Cox, as he alluded to on Instagram.
