  "account": "The Philadelphia Eagles recently hosted three free agents for workouts at their training complex. The three players are defensive tackle David Blay, running back Ja'Quinden Jackson, and edge rusher Tarron Jackson.\n\nDavid Blay, 23, hails from Levittown, Pennsylvania and played college football at West Chester, Louisiana and The University of Miami. Blay, who stands at 6'2\" and weighs 292 pounds, is a nose tackle who has shown adequate power in single blocks but lacks early explosion and hand work to open lanes. Blay did not make any contributions during the Patriots' training camp, which led to his release. The Eagles might be interested in adding Blay for extra defensive tackle depth ahead of their preseason game.\n\nJa'Quinden Jackson, who will turn 25 in a month, played college football for Arkansas before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2025. Jackson spent the 2025 season on the Jaguars' practice squad before being waived. With both Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell leaving practice early, the Eagles seem to have an interest in adding more running back depth. Jackson's size and strength might appeal to teams, but his lack of functional speed and third-down value limits his potential.\n\nTarron Jackson, a familiar face to Eagles fans, was originally selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He played for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2021-2023 and the Carolina Panthers briefly before returning to Philly. However, Jackson was cut by the Eagles in August 2024. He then signed with the San Francisco 49ers but suffered a neck injury that ended his season in July 2025. Now healthy again, Tarron Jackson could potentially have a third stint with the Philadelphia Eagles.",
