It sounds like DeSean Jackson‘s stint in Los Angeles has come to an end, even if the Rams are unable to find a taker via trade. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that if Jackson isn’t traded, it’s expected that the veteran wideout will be released (via Ian Rapoport on Twitter).
Jackson inked a one-year, $4.5MM deal with the Rams this past offseason. That deal included a $2.75MM base salary, and a release would mean the Rams would be left with a prorated part of that guarantee on their cap sheet.
The 34-year-old didn’t see more than 32 percent of his team’s offensive snaps through the first seven weeks of the season, culminating in only four offensive snaps during his team’s Week 7 win. The Rams recently gave Jackson permission to seek a trade elsewhere, and he was inactive during yesterday’s win over the Texans.
Jackson was limited to only eight games between the 2019 and 2020 seasons, and he’s hauled in only eight catches this year. However, considering the veteran’s track record, there’s a good chance Jackson will find a landing spot. However, it remains to be seen if a suitor will be willing to give up any assets to the Rams before tomorrow’s deadline.
Wore out his welcome in yet another place…
Shocking that the market for the biggest anti-Semite in the league non-existent
#openly
A lot of competition for that crown I’m guessing.
Pretty ridiculous to want out of the best team in your hometown at age 34.
We’ll he is a 34 year old punk that never grew up…
49ers?

HAS NEEN
The Patriots could use him.
Hell no. Kraft won’t allow that anti-Semite on his team.
Another cancer who thinks he is better than he truly is
Time for my man to retire. He’s not even close to what he once was and I wouldn’t trade for anything more then a 5th or 6th round pick PLUS you continue to pay 80% of his contract.
He plays because he needs the money. That’s why when he was under his rookie deal he was taking loans from his agent. That’s why he claimed he was robbed and had cash and valuables taken. He’s made good money in his career but lived above that, which is why I said he won’t survive once the NFL paychecks stop coming in.
