The connection between DJax and Jameis Winston hasn't been there since Jackson arrived in 2017 and it seems as though the frustration has reached its peak. Though Rapoport's sources say it's nothing personal with Jackson and Winston, Jackson may feel irrelevant in the offense with Winston at the helm - especially after being the NFL's leading receiver with Fitzpatrick at quarterback.
