Head Coach Nick Sirianni Regrets Releasing Rookie WR Signed Earlier This Year as Competition in Eagles’ Roster Proves Too Intense

Philadelphia, PA – August 2025

The Philadelphia Eagles have made a difficult roster move by releasing rookie wide receiver Giles Jackson, who had signed with the team earlier this year. With the roster already loaded with talent at the WR position, competition became fierce, and Jackson was forced to depart sooner than expected.

Head Coach Nick Sirianni expressed his regret:
"He’s a hidden gem. We saw explosiveness, hunger, and the kind of raw potential that could turn into a difference-maker. In Philadelphia, competition is brutal – and unfortunately, we just can’t keep everyone."

Even after parting ways, Sirianni remains confident that Jackson deserves a real shot in the NFL:
"I truly hope another team sees what we saw in him. If he gets the opportunity to play, I have no doubt he won’t let anyone down."

Signed as an undrafted rookie free agent, Giles Jackson only spent a few months with the Eagles but left a strong impression on the coaching staff. Now, his journey may continue with another team – a place where his potential can be polished and turned into a bright future in the NFL.
