DeSean Jackson Rumors: Rams Expected to Release WR After Failing to Find Trade

The Los Angeles Rams planning to release veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The move comes after NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Friday that Jackson and the Rams mutually agreed to pursue any trade possibilities.

Head coach Sean McVay confirmed the 34-year-old was looking for an exit.

"I think what it boils down to is opportunities that I think he's deserving of and the situation and some of the circumstances that surround him," he told reporters.

With Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET trade deadline now gone, releasing Jackson was the only option if both sides wanted to move on.
