Jameis Winston says he will make better use of DeSean Jackson in 2018
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers invested a lot in wide receiver DeSean Jackson last offseason. He didn’t have the best season, and his quarterback seems to believe he’s at least partly to blame.
On Friday, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston vowed to do better by Jackson, responding to an article questioning Jackson’s future with the organization with a defiant pledge.
We got this! I personally will make sure we show how valuable @DeSeanJackson11 is to our team and @NFL https://t.co/osCymbJLJu

Jackson made $12.5 million last year, but delivered only 50 catches, 668 yards, and three touchdowns. Only his injury-hit 2015 was worse from a statistical standpoint. For his part, Jackson has voiced a willingness to work things out with Winston as well, so it seems that will be a priority heading into 2018.
