In one of the most exciting deadline days in league history, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4) stood pat. With a roster ready to win now, the Bucs decided to not pull the trigger on any deals which could have improved the team.
Rumors swirled around veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson for the past week. Jackson reportedly requested a trade from Tampa Bay, but the team pushed back. It might be a good thing for Jackson, who has Ryan Fitzpatrick back under center.
According to ESPN’s Jenna Laine, teams were interested in Jackson’s services, but the Bucs didn’t pull the trigger because they feel that they can contend this season.
