Veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson has reportedly "expressed a preference" to leave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
ESPN's Josina Anderson discussed Jackson's desire to play elsewhere on Thursday:
ig: josinaanderson‘Cup of Jo’ on #NFL Live: I’m told that #Bucs WR Desean Jackson has expressed a preference to move on from Tampa Bay after this season & that change may be good to contribute in a new environment. Jackson leads the NFL in YPR at 18.9, but since Wk.4 he’s averaging 10 fewer ypr. https://t.co/5tSPgPwOGZ
Jackson is under contract with the Bucs next season at a cap hit of $10 million, but Tampa can release him without incurring any dead money, per Spotrac.
