Desean Jackson to Sign Contract with Raiders After Rams Release

The Las Vegas Raiders are adding a three-time Pro Bowler to their offense Sunday, agreeing to terms with wide receiver DeSean Jackson on a contract, according to USA Today's Josina Anderson.

This comes after the Los Angeles Rams announced they released the 34-year-old after they were unable to trade him prior to the Nov. 2 deadline.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported the Rams and Jackson "explored trade possibilities" and the wide receiver would have been open to potentially staying. However, the decision to release him gave him the opportunity to search for a team that could offer him more playing time.
