The Los Angeles Rams have signed their first outside free agent of the offseason, and it’s a familiar face for Sean McVay. The team announced Sunday night that it has agreed to terms with wide receiver DeSean Jackson.
Details of the contract were not immediately available.
Jackson, 34, is a Long Beach native, so this is a homecoming for the veteran free agent. He played high school ball at Long Beach Poly and attended Cal in college before being drafted by the Eagles in the second round of the 2008 draft.
Jackson and McVay were both in Washington together from 2014-2016. In 2019, Jackson said he wanted a chance to play for McVay again, and now he’ll get that opportunity.
Though he’s only played eight games in the last two seasons, he’s still a legitimate deep threat and possesses plenty of speed. He’s led the NFL in yards per reception four times, including in 2018 with the Bucs (18.9).

Welcome back home, @DeSeanJackson10 😎

canadaramParticipantIf he is still a threat as a PR I will be pleased. I don’t expect much from him as a receiver at this point in his career.

joemadParticipantI didn’t know that he still played in the NFL….

JackPMillerParticipantIf correct, I believe the Eagles released him. That means it won’t affect our comp picks next year.

wvParticipantI like any old crafty veteran WRs.
A one year deal? Perfect.
Let Stafford launch some rainbows to him.

Jackson doesn’t count against the Rams, He was released by the Eagles…..so he doesn’t count in the Comp pick formula

HerzogParticipantI really doubt this pans out…. but it would be sweet if it did.

InvaderRamModeratordesean in his prime was a pleasure to watch. i hope he can find some of that magic again.

HramParticipantIf we only use him for about 15 plays a game to stretch the field, he might be able to stay healthy.
It could work.

canadaramParticipantThat screen pass reminds me of the one Woods took to the house on 3rd and vs the Giants a few years ago.

AgamemnonParticipantDeSean Jackson’s one-year deal with the #Rams, which he signed today: $4.5 million base value with incentives that can take it up to $6.25 million. In this market, for a 34-year-old receiver who’s been banged up the last two years, that’s good coin.

I would never have paid that much.
$1 or $2 million/yr plus some incentives.March 26, 2021 at 4:48 am #128649
AgamemnonParticipantBreakdown of the DeSean Jackson contract, per source: $2.75 million base
– $103,000 incentive for each game on active game day roster
– $1.25 million incentive if he plays 50% of offensive snaps "and team improves"
– Up to $1 million playoff incentives
– Cap number is $3.26M— Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) March 26, 2021
This is a little better than the above tweet.

znModeratorDeSean Jackson: I had other options, but I wanted to play in Sean McVay's offense. (Jackson led the NFL in yards per catch in two of his three seasons in Washington, when McVay was offensive coordinator.) https://t.co/OCI6NYYoSg

ZooeyModeratorRemember when Mike Martz threw a fit when Cris Carter dallied in Cleveland on his way to St. Louis in order to feign interest in other offers in an attempt to drive up the Rams’ desire for him and Martz, in what may be the apex of his hubris, told Carter to go screw himself if he was going to make Martz late for dinner?
Yeah.
I remember that.
The DeSean Jackson signing just reminds me of that even though they have nothing in common apart from they are two WRs near the end of their careers.
Yeah. Mike Martz. Where is old Mike now?
