Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is visiting with the Washington Redskins on Tuesday after dining with coaches and clubbing with players Monday evening.
As one would expect, Jackson's services are in demand. According to our Dianna Russini, the Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers are two teams that will compete with Washington for Jackson.
Per sources: DeSean Jackson has 2 teams making offers. I'm told Cleveland Browns are 1 and they are going hard with offer. #Browns — Dianna Marie Russini (@NBCdianna) April 1, 2014
Redskins source: "If DeSean Jackson gets on the plane...its going to be hard to sign him. He's at the Park now. They can't let him leave" — Dianna Marie Russini (@NBCdianna) April 1, 2014
Per source: San Francisco has now thrown their hat in the ring for DeSean Jackson. #Redskins #49ers — Dianna Marie Russini (@NBCdianna) April 1, 2014

Jackson's acquisition would give the Redskins a deep threat that they have been lacking. Jackson has caught 21 touchdowns of 30-plus yards since 2008, tied with Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace for the most over that span.
