Redskins' DeSean Jackson: Intends to sign with Bucs

Jackson intends to sign with Tampa Bay, barring any last-minute breakdowns in negotiations, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Analysis:

Jackson had been considering as many as three other teams according to reports, but he'll land in an offense led by Jameis Winston, giving the young quarterback another option to stretch the field. The 30-year-old had his third 1,000-yard season in four years for Washington in 2016, so he should have plenty left in the tank to be a difference-maker. Also helping Jackson's case is the fact he'll be lining up across from the 2016's fourth-leading receiver in Mike Evans (1,321), who should draw most of the attention from opposing secondaries.
