3-time Pro Bowler Vincent Jackson retires
by Jack Browne from on (#3QJAC)
Three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Vincent Jackson confirmed his retirement from the NFL on Friday.
Jackson's agent said his client is "very happily retired" from the NFL after sitting out all of 2017, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
The 35-year-old apparently intended to keep playing prior to last year, but this offseason, several teams took him off their free-agent boards.
Jackson starred for the then-San Diego Chargers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over 12 years, racking up six 1,000-yard seasons. He finishes his career with 540 catches for 9,080 yards and 57 touchdowns.
