The Facts: Jameis Winston said on Wednesday he'd welcome Jackson as another weapon for the Bucs' passing game in 2017. "I've met him before, and we want DeSean. You better believe we want DeSean here," Winston said. "I think he would be a great asset to our team. Me growing up an Eagles fan, seeing what he did for the Eagles and back in his Cal days and even with the Redskins, I would love to have DeSean." ESPN's Josina Anderso

Diehards Line:n reported Tuesday that the Bucs were a "possible destination" for Jackson, citing an "existing rapport" that he has with Winston. The QB didn't specifically remember where he had met Jackson, saying only that it was "a while back," but he likes the idea that his success in two NFL seasons can be part of the Bucs' allure to free agents, and he can be something of a recruiter, like he was in college at FSU. "I feel like I can be one of our best recruiters," he said. "My main focus is to win. That's what I enjoy doing." Jackson, 30, is about to become an unrestricted free agent. He had 56 catches for 1,005 yards and four touchdowns with the Redskins in 2016, going over 1,000 yards for the third time in four years. His average of 17.9 yards per catch was the most in the NFL among players with 30 or more catches, so he would give the Bucs a speed threat to complement Pro Bowl receiver Mike Evans.
