But wide receiver DeSean Jackson isn’t so sure of that.

Vick is due $15.5 million next season in base salary, making his status with the team shaky at best. The team may also look to further develop quarterback Nick Foles, who played well as a rookie in 2012. Still, Jackson would not be surprised to see Vick stay in Philadelphia.

“For sure I can see it,” Jackson told the NFL Network. “Now that Chip Kelly is our offensive coordinator, I mean our head coach, Michael Vick I think it’s a no-brainer to keep him here. It fits his playing style and what he’s done perfect.”

The 32-year old Vick’s fourth season with the Eagles did not go how he had hoped. He played in just 10 games, but had 14 turnovers. He also completed just 58.1% of his passes. His durability has also always been a question mark as well.

Kelly is replaicng Andy Reid, who had been the team’s head coach since 1999.
