2012 Offseason Transaction: Vincent Jackson


Vincent Jackson was the top unrestricted free agent receiver on the market before signing a monster contract with the Tampa Bay Bucs. In Jackson, Josh Freeman gets an elite, big down field receiver that has the potential to be absolutely dominating from game to game. The one question mark regarded Jackson is how effective he can be while not playing beside elite talent Antonio Gates, who draws defenders. Jackson has never topped 68 catches in a single season and the Bucs are going to need more out of him this season if they hope to contend in a deep NFC South. The Bucs are now loaded on offense if Mike Williams can bounce back after a disappointing 2011 season, and Josh Freeman can show that last year was just a down year and 2010 is his real form. While Vincent Jackson should certainly help the Bucs passing game is a big way, it probably won’t be enough to get to the postseason in 2012.
