According to Tom Pelissero, the Eagles tried out six players on Tuesday including veteran DB William Jackson.

The following is a full list of tryout players:

  1. DB William Jackson
  2. TE E.J. Jenkins
  3. RB John Kelly
  4. RB Bryant Koback
  5. LB Isaiah Moore
  6. LB Elerson Smith

Jackson, 30, is a former first-round pick of the Bengals back in 2016. He was in the final year of his four-year, $9.7 million contract when the Bengals picked up Jackson’s fifth option worth $9,954,000 for the 2020 season.

Jackson was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent in 2021 when he signed a three-year, $42 million deal with Washington. He was traded to the Steelers at the deadline during the 2022 season, but never played in a game for Pittsburgh.

He was set to make a $9.25 million salary in the final year of his deal when Pittsburgh released him. 

In 2022, Jackson appeared in four games for the Commanders and recorded 16 total tackles and two pass deflections.
