The Facts: The trade deadline looms on Tuesday, and if Jackson has his way, he will be heavily involved in it. The veteran Pro Bowl receiver recently requested a trade from the Bucs, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, as Jackson hopes to find a team that can better make use of his talents. The Bucs have refused to grant him that request.

Diehards Line: Still, Rapoport believes with a few days to go before the trade deadline, Jackson's name becomes a fascinating one to watch. Do the Bucs hold firm and keep one of their playmakers in a crucial season for all involved? The belief is they do, but that won't stop teams from calling.
