Buccaneers OC sends DeSean Jackson strong message: ‘You came here because of the money’

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a terrific offseason, and it all started with the signing of DeSean Jackson. Despite being on the wrong side of 30, Jackson is still one of the best deep threats in the NFL.

As a complement to Mike Evans’ physical style of play, the Buccaneers couldn’t have asked for a better fit offensively. They made sure to land him, too, by throwing a whole bunch of money in his direction. He inked a three-year, $33.5 million deal with the Bucs with $20 million guaranteed.

The money is substantial, and the coaching staff wants to make sure it gets the biggest bang for the buck this upcoming season.
