Don’t expect 49ers to pursue DeSean Jackson if Buccaneers release him

The San Francisco 49ers need wide receiver help in 2019, and there might be a veteran option on the table in an otherwise thin free-agent market this offseason.

According to a Thursday report from ESPN’s Josina Anderson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson wants out after this season and would like to play elsewhere next year.

Here’s what Anderson had to say about the report:

‘Cup of Jo’ on #NFL Live: I’m told that #Bucs WR Desean Jackson has expressed a preference to move on from Tampa Bay after this season & that change may be good to contribute in a new environment.
