A representative for veteran WR Vincent Jackson tells Jeremy Fowler that his client is “very happily retired” from the NFL.
According to Fowler, Jackson is focused on community and business work in Tampa Bay area.
Last year, Jackson mentioned in an interview with WDAE-AM 620 that he was still hoping to continue his career and had received some “inquiries” from interested teams. However, he wound up sitting out the entire 2017 season.
Jackson, 35, is a former first-round pick of the Chargers back in 2005. He spent seven years in San Diego before signing a five-year, $55,555,555 contract that included $26 million guaranteed with the Buccaneers back in 2012.
Jackson made a base salary of $9,777,778 for the 2016 season but unfortunately suffered a knee injury that led to him being placed on injured reserve.
For his career, Jackson totaled 540 receptions for 9,080 yards receiving and 57 touchdowns over the course of 12 seasons and 155 games played. He also rushed for 161 yards on 15 carries. Jackson was a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
