DeSean Jackson bids farewell to Tampa Bay on Instagram
DeSean Jackson is saying goodbye to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The wide receiver posted a farewell to the Bucs on Instagram Monday as rumors flew about him seeking his next destination.
NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo reported that Jackson had not been officially released by Tampa Bay, so it was essentially just the wide receiver making a statement.
