The Eagles were set to meet with DeSean Jackson's representatives at the combine this week. It's now Friday and we see this.
Eagles are open to listening to trade offers for free agent wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who is expected to be franchised.

Kind of makes you wonder if that meeting happened and didn't exactly go well...
Of course, that's total speculation. However, there has to be a reason Adam Schefter is tweeting this. Guys like Schefter are tools that are used by agents and teams to get things they want out there. It's out there now... the question is who wanted it out?
I'd still say the "tag and trade" scenario is unlikely because it more or less never happens in the NFL... And in the rare case it does, a QB is the most likely to be involved. In this WR rich market, who is trading for DeSean Jackson?
