Buccaneers come to terms with wide receiver DeSean Jackson
DeSean Jackson is one of five players since the 1970 merger with 26 or more career touchdowns of 50-plus yards.
Tampa Bay added a deep threat for Jameis Winston when it agreed to terms with wide receiver DeSean Jackson on a three-year contract.
Jackson, a three-time Pro Bowler known for making big plays, spent the past three seasons with Washington. Before that, he was with the Eagles for six years.
He will fit in a passing game that already has the prolific Mike Evans.
Jackson is one of five players since the 1970 merger with 26 or more career touchdowns of 50-plus yards, joining Jerry Rice (36), Randy Moss (29), Terrell Owens (26) and Steve Smith (26). Only Rice (23) has more than Jackson's 22 touchdowns of 60-plus yards.
"Desean is exactly the type of dynamic playmaker we have been targeting for our offense," said Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter. "Desean brings a veteran presence and a big-play mentality that fits in perfectly with our offensive philosophy. He is a tough-minded competitor who has the game-breaking speed and pass-catching ability that stretches the defense and creates matchup problems."
