DeSean Jackson's impending free agency is one of the more intriguing storylines of the offseason.

The deep threat posted another 1,000-yard season with the Washington Redskins in 2016 and should draw the interest of both the Redskins and his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, when he hits the open market.

While Jackson has intimated at different junctures his interest in both teams, he was on CSN's "Redskins Nation" on Friday and told show host Larry Michael he definitely wants to remain in Washington.

"Obviously I do still want to be here. My family, my house, I have everything here," he said. "I don't want to be in a transaction, moving.

"I do want to be here and hopefully we can make it work."

Jackson added that he's looking for some security and to ink a mid- to long-term contract.
