"The Patriots have explored the possibility of trading for Jackson, reports Comcast Sportsnet.
Spin: Earlier reports indicated long odds on this potential trade, citing Jackson's contract status and off-field issues as reasons for the poor fit. While those concerns are still valid, this latest report suggests offensive lineman Logan Mankins could be the trade bait that gives this rumor new legs. Mankins, like Jackson, is holding out after electing to not sign his tender offer this past offseason. A deal is far from imminent and still unlikely, but with the Patriots' new perceived hole at wide receiver, the rumor probably won't die until Jackson's actual future is known." from Rotowire
