Stay Tuned.”
Diehards Line:
As PFT suggests, that sounds like Jackson saying he has been released, although the Buccaneers have not made any announcement. It’s possible that he’s trying to force his way out, or that he’s aware of a trade being agreed upon. Whatever the case, he'll be moving on soon enough -- one way or the other. The 32-year-old Jackson is still a big-time playmaker, averaging 18.9 yards per catch last season. He’ll have suitors if he does in fact hit free agency.
