$20 Million Guaranteed For DeSean Jackson
March 9th, 2017
Team Glazer coughed up $10 million for washed up Vincent Jackson last season, so the new deal for DeSean Jackson must have them throwing back fine scotch in celebration.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the DeSean Jackson’s new deal is for three years at $35 million with $20 million guaranteed.
That’s a good deal on paper, for sure. The key is Mike Evans doesn’t have to be paid gargantuan Bucs until 2019, the third — and optional — year on DeSean Jackson’s deal.
Don’t bitch, folks. Michael Clayton got $10 million guaranteed in 2009 and he couldn’t catch!
The Bucs have flexibility and that’s exactly what you want.
Well done, Jason Licht.

Any speculation that we might go get Pryor Joe?how about Poe or Shephard?
March 9th, 2017 at 4:15 pm
Wooohoooo good job licht. Signing baker too. Go bucs
March 9th, 2017 at 4:15 pm
It is a good deal for both sides. Super excited

This is awesome news! Having a great speed option on the outside is priceless. Jameis is a hell of a recruiter because I guarantee that other teams were offering close. It seems like djax knows that we are close and I believe that he will push us over the edge. Now he just needs to show up at every workout to build the chemistry.

Great news. This guy is no “blocking icon”.
Next to the “Sammie the goat” my favorite nickname.
March 9th, 2017 at 4:19 pm
If he works out as well as Galloway did life is good.
March 9th, 2017 at 4:20 pm
great job licht…
March 9th, 2017 at 4:21 pm
Oh just YUMMY!
I’m smiling bigger than Evans in that picture!
March 9th, 2017 at 4:21 pm
Phallus says bad deal because Jason Licht was involved. He was also overheard saying “why won’t he call me?!”
March 9th, 2017 at 4:22 pm
whatsw the deal with chris baker?
March 9th, 2017 at 4:22 pm
Now let’s get TE JARED COOK!!!
March 9th, 2017 at 4:22 pm
Great! No more more 8 men in the box!
March 9th, 2017 at 4:23 pm
I am happy as hell. Barring injury we are playing football in October.
March 9th, 2017 at 4:24 pm
Need pass rushers !
March 9th, 2017 at 4:24 pm
Every team is paying football in October lol

@ K – mac Buccaneers signed Chris Baker.
March 9th, 2017 at 4:27 pm
Hell yeah man.
Best weapon we could have added in terms of what we needed; and only a couple million more per year than Kenny Britt who doesn’t have 1/4 the production of Jackson for their careers
March 9th, 2017 at 4:28 pm
This huge!!! Getting him, Baker, Rodgers, Conte and Gholston locked up give us so much flexibility in the draft!
March 9th, 2017 at 4:28 pm
Awesome signing! Bucs are on a roll.
March 9th, 2017 at 4:30 pm
EXCELLENT!! Great job Licht the Pilot!
March 9th, 2017 at 4:36 pm
Need to get McDougal signed,
March 9th, 2017 at 4:37 pm
You’ll get no complaints from me.

The throwing lanes just opened up for Jameis as if teams try and run cover 2 to eliminate the 20 yard sideline plays that ME is unstoppable with, DJax can run those deep posts as well as anybody. Jackson has never been on a team with a superstar receiver like Evans. The signing helps both of them and makes Winston capable of putting up Drew Brees and Matt Ryan numbers.

Good contract for both parties. Throw in Baker and its been a solid 1st day. And it’s just now 5pm so we still have a ways to go. I’m in favor of giving Poe a 1 year prove it contract and drafting a DE. Our DLine would instantly be a top 5 unit. Close already

The culture will change.
March 9th, 2017 at 5:07 pm
Welcome to Tampa Bay DJax!!!
March 9th, 2017 at 5:16 pm
Works for me….Glazers are printing money anyway…they need to spend it
March 9th, 2017 at 5:17 pm
Not a bad deal, I actually thought he would have gotten a 4-year deal with a big signing bonus from someone. I really wonder about his health but with the Bucs flush with cap space this year and next year it’s worth betting in a guy to come in a contribute immediately.
March 9th, 2017 at 5:28 pm
DallasBuc, where you at?
March 9th, 2017 at 5:33 pm
11.3 mil a year. Not bad. Worth it if stays healthy. The guy is dynamic. I think his he also has a pretty fun personality. I think he will gel very good in the locker room.
Love having a playmaker opposite Evans
March 9th, 2017 at 5:45 pm
OMG can’t wait to see teams not double coverin ME13 and having a another pro bowler on the other side. Not to mention killa Cam.
March 9th, 2017 at 6:01 pm
Cam should have been in the pro bowl considering he led all TE in TDs. Ijs
March 9th, 2017 at 6:11 pm
I hope Licht continues using last years formula and drafts a speedy WR.
Welcome Mr. Jackson!!!
Go Bucs!!!
March 9th, 2017 at 6:14 pm
That’s only $2m more total than I said he was worth, so I’m happy. I had said $11m per year. This works out to $11.6m per year.
March 9th, 2017 at 7:31 pm
@joeypop lol I’m so happy I got my months mixed up.
March 9th, 2017 at 8:40 pm
Mike Johnson very rarely gets excited about a signing…But…I’m on my 2nd Crown Royal of the evening!! Ball out Jackson. Lets catch some balls, score TD’s and bring home that big prize for Buc fans. Ok..Y’all..bout as excited as you’ll ever see me get!!
March 9th, 2017 at 8:47 pm
This is HUUUUUGE. Big League!
March 9th, 2017 at 9:51 pm
😀That’s Whus up MJ.
March 10th, 2017 at 7:47 am
Awesome! DK gets the speed he needs and it will open up the run game for whoever is carrying the ball. Excited about the draft. Go Bucs!
