On Monday, the Eagles agreed to acquire wide receiver Jackson from Tampa Bay Buccaneers along with a 2020 seventh-round draft pick for a sixth-round pick this year, two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.

The deal is contingent upon Jackson agreeing to a new contract, according to one of the sources who spoke on condition of anonymity because terms haven't been finalized.

The moves won't be official until the league year begins Wednesday.

Jackson had one year remaining on his contract for $10 million.
