Adam Caplan of ESPN reports that veteran WR Vincent Jackson has no plans to retire from the NFL, despite some recent speculation that he could call it a career.
Jackson’s contract with the Buccaneers is up, which means he’ll be an unrestricted free agent next week.
Jackson, 34, is a former first-round pick of the Chargers back in 2005. He spent seven years in San Diego before signing a five-year, $55,555,555 contract that included $26 million guaranteed with the Buccaneers back in 2012.
Jackson made a base salary of $9,777,778 for the 2016 season but unfortunately suffered a knee injury that led to him being placed on injured reserve.
