It is important to note that Jackson is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, as Palmer spoke in an interview about her relationship with Jackson:

"It became more difficult to hide. We spend all this time together, and he really is my closest friend, so it just becomes a thing where I'm not gonna hide something that makes me happy."

As for the controversy, Palmer is yet to make a public comment on Jackson's response to her outfit.

There is no controversy about how important Darius Slay was for the Eagles' defense last season, as the team made it to the Super Bowl. He was second on the team in both interceptions (three) and passes defended (14). The 2023 season will be Slay's fourth with the franchise.

In 2020, the Detroit Lions traded the All-Pro cornerback to the Eagles after seven seasons. The 32-year-old was rumored to be cut by Philadelphia, but Slay will earn $1.165 million this upcoming season with the team.
