ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting former Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson is expected to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, "assuming no breakdown in final negotiations." (Adam Schefter on Facebook)

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson has been linked to numerous teams around the league this offseason that include the Buccaneers, Eagles and even the Patriots. However, it appears that Tampa Bay has won the Jackson sweepstakes and will pay him a lucrative deal for his services. It was reported earlier in the offseason that Jackson already had a rapport with Jameis Winston, and because the Buccaneers had a tremendous void at wide receiver outside of Mike Evans, Jackson to Tampa Bay was almost a no-brainer for all parties involved. Jackson lining up opposite Evans could make Tampa Bay's passing attack one of the most prolific in the NFL in 2017, especially with Winston continuing to grow into a top 10 passer entering his third year in the league.
