DeSean Jackson Tells TMZ He Hasn’t Talked To Bruce Arians And He Doesn’t Know If The Tampa Situation Can Be Fixed
January 18th, 2019
TMZ hunted down I-hate-Tampa receiver DeSean Jackson at Los Angeles International Airport and talked Bucs with him this week.
Damn, Jackson just exudes disdain for his team.
That doesn’t mean Jackson hates all his teammates and would pass on collecting another $10 million from Team Glazer this season if they are foolish enough to cut the check.
TMZ asked Jackson whether he has talked to new head coach Bucco Bruce Arians, who allegedly has been hoping to re-recruit Jackson, even though he’s already on the roster. Jackson said he hasn’t talked to Arians.
TMZ asked if the situation can be fixed for Jackson in Tampa. Rather than say there is no situation, Jackson says he doesn’t know.
Jackson never says he wants to keep playing for the Buccaneers, but he does say a couple of times that his agent is the key to all the answers.
What a teammate!

God I hope we can trade him, even for a worthless 7th round pick, to another hopeless franchise in this league….Its what DJax deserves.
January 18th, 2019 at 7:22 am
Bruce better get rid of this bum. Only a weak man would go crawling to this waste of talent to try to recruit him. No team NEEDS D-Jax, he NEEDS that money though. I’d rather pay Humphries significantly less, he can play the slot, have Godwin eat up more reps on the outside with Mike.
January 18th, 2019 at 7:34 am
Can’t blame BA for putting his best foot forward with Jackson….but I think in the end the talent with our WR corps….the need for cap savings along with Djax’s toxic attitude will rule the day.
January 18th, 2019 at 7:36 am
You don’t talk down trade talent you dopes.
Someone out there might give up as much as a 3rd, that’s why you stay patient and say you’re ready to have him back no matter what the truth is.
January 18th, 2019 at 7:38 am
I still say he was worth the investment but it didnt work out.
Cap space is more important to this team than his skill set
January 18th, 2019 at 7:39 am
We don’t need him. If he has no trade value, it just means no one wants to pick up his contract. WRs are plentiful in this league. Re-sign Humphries. He wants to be here.
January 18th, 2019 at 7:44 am
Josh McCown was worth a 5th round AFTER the Bucs the cut him…
That’s why you don’t cavalierly say dumb stuff like “cut him now”.
January 18th, 2019 at 7:45 am
” He Doesn’t Know If The Tampa Situation Can Be Fixed”…..what he is refering to is Jamyth’s ACCURACY….and it is not just on deep balls
January 18th, 2019 at 7:46 am
Sure, lock up Hump for #4 WR money for the next 6 years and we’re in great shape.
January 18th, 2019 at 7:55 am
Really?!?! Cmon man… instead of a website y’all should run a land development business because all day you guys are trying to make mountains out of mole hills.
What is he supposed to do? Open up to a weirdo chasing him with a cell phone and spill his heart out?
January 18th, 2019 at 8:05 am
So the ball wont sail 10 feet over his head Rudy Stein style with a new coach?
January 18th, 2019 at 8:08 am
that wasnt exuding disdain for his team, that was more like disdain for being stalked by paparazzi. we all get it, Djax doesnt have much fun playing for Winston, probably likes him well enough personally but doesnt like being wide open and balls sailing over him. Probably skeptical that Arians could fix that and would rather play the couple remaining high level years he has with someone that can take advantage of him more. Licht needs to try and get a 5th or 6th for him at least or let him go. Arians by now is probably seeing the film and getting the story

Excellent post pepsi !
January 18th, 2019 at 8:12 am
Screw you jerkoff Jackson ! We don’t want you here ! Your an over hyped one trick pony that alligator arms balls that you don’t want to fight for ! Most of the time , I didn’t even realize that you were not in games this year..Joey Galloway alligator armed a few in his day but best believe he did more for the bucs than you ever could ! Now gtfoh and go be a cancer on another team ya bum ! Bruce do not try and keep him ! He may look like a shiny new toy from afar but if he stuck it out with your convincing , pretty soon you’ll realize it’s not a shiny new toy , someone just polished a turd !
January 18th, 2019 at 8:26 am
Trade him to Miami their QB situation is in flux. Let him play for team without a QB…lol
January 18th, 2019 at 8:29 am
It’s a new day in Tampa Bay. Whoever wants in, get in. Whoever wants out, get out. If Diva DJax and Grumpy Grimes don’t want to be here, flights depart daily. I respect their abilities, but not their lack of heart and pride. We finally have a capable leadership team. We finally have a head coach who’s not looking to pad his retirement or position himself for his next job. I can only speak for myself, but I’m all in. My only regret is that I can’t suit up for these guys. GO BUCS!
January 18th, 2019 at 8:29 am
I agree with him, they just need to move on from him. One thing I thought about yesterday, when it comes to Adam Humphries we heard BA say he wants to keep him but with MeJax we heard it from Ian Rapoport not BA.
January 18th, 2019 at 8:33 am
Good riddance malcontent. We do not want you here anyways!
January 18th, 2019 at 8:38 am
I am beginning to think the only reason Licht didn’t trade my DJax is that he didn’t want to be embarrassed watching him in the postseason TEARING it UP…with a QB that can hit him in stride and with the deep ball….his trade value was never higher than at the trade deadline to a team with a real shot at the Super Bowl….another screw up on Jason’s resume….
January 18th, 2019 at 8:55 am
He doesn’t want to play with America’s Divider. And trust me, DJax knows better than ANY of us commenting on this site. Including Joe.
January 18th, 2019 at 9:06 am
If it’s Joe’s intent to totally alienate DJax from the Buc fanbase it’s apparently working. The sheep are flocking in droves now. Social media is angry. Keep stirring the pot TMZ, I mean JBF. We simply love all the swirling controversy. It’s our human nature to find someone to hate.
January 18th, 2019 at 9:11 am
As much as we tampa fans are starting to dislike Desean I think coach Arians can find a real good use for him.Punt AND kick returner,hell I would even try him out for RB!
January 18th, 2019 at 9:16 am
Its a shame that the bucs proclaimed starter cannot throw the deep ball!!!!!! The back up last year showed just how valuable that Djax is to an explosive offense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2019 will show answers to the sheep that the “real” fans already know!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 18th, 2019 at 9:37 am
Dump him and use the money for Hump. Geez, I get that Winston can’t throw the deep ball well, but $10 million is still $10 million, what a tool.
January 18th, 2019 at 9:58 am
Let him WALK…. Why do we keep talking about him. C’mon JOE!!! Bury all Djax readings. HE GIVES NO EFFORT!!! HE DOESNT CARE IF THE TEAM WINS OR LOSES.
January 18th, 2019 at 10:25 am
He makes a ton so his trade value would be close to Osweileresque, a we pay you to take this contract, but if we could swap 7th rounders and send his sorry malcontent self to Buffalo or…. Pottsville… Cleveland would be too kind. I’d be all on board.
January 18th, 2019 at 10:34 am
I’ve always thought MeJax was overrated even before coming to Tampa. He’s a little fast guy and that’s it. There are other little fast guys available that are more committed to the team than their personal stats.
January 18th, 2019 at 10:35 am
If MeJax is irreplaceable why did Philly and Washington let him walk?
January 18th, 2019 at 10:36 am
I hope he tears his ACL
January 18th, 2019 at 10:37 am
Hope you blow out your knee Jackie.
January 18th, 2019 at 10:43 am
You can’t fix “heart”. This dousche is a cancer. I can’t even stand seeing his ugly, arrogant ass wishing these articles. I’m now allergic. Primadona bitch.
January 18th, 2019 at 10:43 am
“within”
January 18th, 2019 at 10:46 am
First off Hump needs to be signed. Like right now. Like I said before I have a strong feeling there is going to be a big turnover in players. Some players that I think will be gone are D. Smith, Bennoch, Dotson, McCoy, DJax, Gholston, Curry, Bond, Taylor, Grimes, Hargreaves, R Smith, Conte, Rodgers & possibly Alexander, RoJo, Fitzpatrick & Griffin.
January 18th, 2019 at 10:49 am
Since WR is probably the easiest NFL position to play now a days guys like MeSean are replaceable. Bring in a younger version like John Brown and boot the malcontent. If you can’t find a trade partner cut, cut and cut some more. Chemistry is paramount in a winning culture.
January 18th, 2019 at 10:54 am
Tom are you saying you think all of those players will be gone or just a couple of them?
January 18th, 2019 at 11:03 am
Actually Winston can throw the deep ball. Go check out his numbers on deep post routes.
Deep sideline routes is a different story.
His limitations on sideline throws we’re exploited because most of deep looks were on sideline routes.
If they throw more deep posts this year and it don’t work I’ll gladly eat my words. Til then the stats say Winston very much can throw deep balls accurately.
January 18th, 2019 at 11:10 am
trade this wanksta he plays with no heart anywayz another player who plays scared
January 18th, 2019 at 12:22 pm
See ya!
January 18th, 2019 at 12:27 pm
Without a doubt, the worst move by Licht. He should’ve done more research. And honestly, do you blame D Jax for the disdain? That Tampa Times article may have completely destroyed his value (which in the end, was D Jax doing anyways). I hope Licht has learned.
January 18th, 2019 at 12:54 pm
If we have to lose with Jackson, I wish at least it was V Jax, the ultimate pro!
I wish we could have kept a slow V Jax over a cancerous speedster
January 18th, 2019 at 1:05 pm
Ive said it before and ill say it again……the Bucs dont need any more “cool” guys.
January 18th, 2019 at 1:06 pm
A guy like Peyton Barber is a thousand times cooler than Desean Jackson
January 18th, 2019 at 1:46 pm
So I guess this never happened and can’t happen again with new coaches…

What an organization that would hold onto someone like this out of pure greed!
January 18th, 2019 at 2:12 pm
Can we please just cut this guy already. He does not want to be here as he has stated, so good luck in the future. By felicia!
January 18th, 2019 at 2:17 pm
@alanbucsfan. Exactly. I’m not buying this whole idea that Jameis can’t throw the deep ball. Does anyone stop and ask why he throws them to every receiver on the team except Desean? Maybe the the problem is more of Desean not fighting for passes and catching them or running out of bounds if it’s not perfectly thrown. Nobody talks about this. Hmm.
January 18th, 2019 at 2:24 pm
I don’t have anything personal against Desean Jackson but has anyone asked Why Jameis throws deep passes to every receiver on the team except Desean.Maybe the problem is more of Desean not fighting for passes or giving up his body. Every pass isn’t a perfect spiral or deep pass. Just saying
January 18th, 2019 at 5:31 pm
Fitz had no problem connecting with Djax in stride …
January 18th, 2019 at 6:22 pm
No Desean Jackson = No Super Bowl
January 19th, 2019 at 3:03 am
Cut her and resign Hump.
January 19th, 2019 at 9:02 am
Rod Munch is exactly right but seriously dosnt everyone know this, I guess not LOL GoBucs
