Agent: WR V. Jackson 'very happily retired'

After three Pro Bowls and six 1,000-yard seasons, Vincent Jackson is calling it quits.

The 12-year receiver is "very happily retired" from the NFL after sitting out all of 2017, agent Jonathan Feinsod told ESPN.

Jackson, 35, who does community and business work in Tampa, played seven seasons with the Chargers and his last five years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He finishes his career with 540 catches for 9,080 yards and 57 touchdowns.

A torn anterior cruciate ligament limited him to five games in 2016, and a source said he decided not to pursue opportunities to play the following year.
