-Scout Rumor Central has confirmed free agent WR Chad Jackson is expected to fly to Oakland Tuesday morning and will work out for the team either on Tuesday or Wednesday.
A league source notes Oakland seriously considered claiming Jackson off of waivers on Monday but chose to bring him in for a workout instead then they'll decide whether or not to sign him.
The team reached a contract agreement with free agent WR Ashley Lelie on Monday.
Lelie, who missed most of training camp and pre-season with a calf injury, was recently released by the San Francisco 49ers.
-A league source told Scout Rumor Central that the Oakland Raiders put a waiver claim in for WR Chad Jackson on Monday but they wound up rescinding the move after signing free agent WR Ashley Lelie to a one-year deal.
As Scout Rumor Central first reported on Monday, Jackson is headed to Oakland on Tuesday to work out for the Raiders.
-Free agent WR Chad Jackson worked out for the Oakland Raiders on Tuesday as expected, Scout Rumor Central has confirmed.
Oakland wanted to sign Jackson after week one but he has decided to visit the Cincinnati Bengals instead for a workout on Wednesday.
-Should free agent WR Chad Jackson not sign with the Cincinnati Bengals after his scheduled visit on Wednesday, the Tennessee Titans could show strong interest in him.
It's not a secret that Tennessee has a dire need for a developmental receiver. Veteran WRs Justin McCareins and Justin Gage are the current starters for the Titans.
Can you imagine Jackson starting opposite Ocho Cinco with Carson Palmer throwing him the ball? Hes working out with the Bengals on wednesday.
IMO he is going to catch on with some team and make the pats regret letting him go. He IS good, he just doesnt have the attitude or discipline that the Pats organization demands. He would thrive in a place like Oakland or Cincy.
