Report: DeSean Jackson Wants to Leave Buccaneers in 2019

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson wants to leave the team in 2019, ESPN's Josina Anderson reported on Thursday.

According to Anderson, Jackson, who has spent two seasons in Tampa Bay, is ready for a fresh start with a new team next season. The 11-year pro is signed on with the Buccaneers next season with a $10 million non-guaranteed base salary.

Jackson reportedly had a verbal exchange with coach Dirk Koetter over what Koetter believed was a "lack of effort" from Jackson after the wide receiver failed to practice with the team due to a hand injury.
