Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson says he is flattered by all the trade speculation but would prefer to remain with the Buccaneers.

"In this business, those kind of things get talked about quite often. Each and every year, there's going to be guys moved around to different teams," Jackson said to Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times. "I'm not surprised by it. Obviously I appreciate teams' interest, but I'm happy here in Tampa. I've heard nothing here that would suggest I'm going anywhere. I'm going to let that pass on and keep doing my job."

Jackson has two years left on his deal at $10 million per season. 

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Buccaneers GM Jason Licht has been fielding "tons of calls" from multiple teams about the 31-year-old.
