Buccaneers' Jackson would like to end up with Rams, McVay

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson requested a trade during the 2018 season, and it appears he has a destination in mind.

"Worst-case scenario, if anything, I would like to end up in L.A. being a Ram," Jackson said on Bleacher Report's "Simms & Lefkoe."

"(Rams head coach) Sean McVay, you know we've got some connections from when I was in D.C. But we'll see how it plays out. I've got another year in Tampa. We'll see how it plays out."

Jackson played for the Washington Redskins while McVay was the team's offensive coordinator from 2014-16, racking up 142 catches for 2,702 yards and 14 touchdowns during that time.

He also starred at Long Beach Polytechnic High School before choosing Cal over USC and maintains strong ties to Southern California, so the McVay-led Rams make sense as an attractive destination for the three-time Pro Bowler.

The 32-year-old Jackson caught 41 passes for 774 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games for Tampa Bay during the 2018 season. He's owed $10 million in base salary for the upcoming campaign, after which he's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent.

In the interim, Jackson and new Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians will likely have to get on the same page, as Arians already expressed interest in retaining the downfield threat.
