The 2018 NFL trade deadline is just a few days away. If Tampa Bay Buccaneers Wide Receiver DeSean Jackson gets his way, he'll be playing somewhere else by the middle of next week.
According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Jackson asked for a trade away from Tampa. The Bucs, however, have so far refused to honor that request.
Jackson has been working alongside Mike Evans and second-year wideout Chris Godwin in three-receiver sets, but lately has seen Godwin move ahead of him when Bucs goes to two-wide looks. He signed in Tampa on a three-year, $ 33.5 million contract prior to last season.
Jackson disappointed during his first year with the Bucs, catching 50 passes for 668 yards and three scores. He got off to a good start with Ryan Fitzpatrick under the influence of Jameis Winston resumed the starting role. Jackson has this year, but there is no guaranteed money remaining on his deal so that it would be possible for him to pay off. He's owed the prorated portion of $ 11 million base salary this year, and $ 10 million in 2019.
Jackson, and the Eagles (his former team) have been floated in the past few weeks. Philly signed Mike Wallace this offseason to bring a speed element to its offense, but it has been injured for most of the year.
