Free agent corner making the rounds Aaron Wilson
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Indianapolis Colts free agent cornerback Marlin Jackson is touring the East Coast this week.
According to a league source, Jackson is scheduled to visit the Philadelphia Eagles after he meets Tuesday with the Baltimore Ravens.
Jackson was a blue-chip high school player in Sharon, Pa., before signing with the University of Michigan.
A former first-round draft pick, Jackson wasn't tendered by the Colts.
Jackson has a history of major knee problems with two torn anterior cruciate ligaments, so the results of a physical for him will be vitally important.
The Ravens have two other cornerbacks coming off torn anterior cruciate ligaments in Fabian Washington and Lardarius Webb.
Jackson recorded 10 tackles and one interception last season before tearing his ACL and lateral meniscus during a practice session.
For his career, he has intercepted four passes.
When he's healthy, he's a very good player because of his size, physical nature and understanding of the game.

I'd like to see the Bears take a look at him and figure out if he or Charles Tillman could move to FS.
