Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:47:39 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson's 42.1 percent reception average is the worst of the NFL's top wide receivers through the first five weeks of the season.
Sun, 30 Sep 2012 22:18:07 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson had a team-high six receptions for 100 yards and a score in the Week 4 loss against the Washington Redskins. Fantasy Tip: In odd-numbered weeks, Jackson has five catches for 76 yards, and in even-numbered weeks he has 11 catches for 228 yards and a pair of scores. Jackson will be off in Week 5 thanks to a bye, so it will be interesting to see if he can continue that trend in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, a team he knows well from his days with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Sat, 22 Sep 2012 17:54:30 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson is expected to be covered by Dallas Cowboys CB Brandon Carr in Week 3. Carr is expected to press Jackson at the line of scrimmage, and try to re-direct him from running his routes. In his only career appearance against the Cowboys, Dec. 13, 2009, Jackson had seven catches for 120 yards as a member of the San Diego Chargers.
Sat, 22 Sep 2012 08:16:50 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson has averaged 18.1 yards per game since 2008, third best in the NFL.
Sat, 22 Sep 2012 08:13:33 -0700 Dallas Cowboys CB Brandon Carr is expected to line up against Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson in Week 3. Carr, who has been excellent in man coverage through two games, will likely require some safety help.

The addition of WR Vincent Jackson might be a big part of the reason for Freeman's improvement as Jackson is tied for the league lead with six receptions on passes that traveled 15 yards or more.
Mon, 17 Sep 2012 06:55:10 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson was targeted eight times on passes at least 15 yards downfield in Week 2. He caught five of them, all coming on throws of at least 17 yards, and finished with 128 yards and a touchdown.

Fri, 17 Aug 2012 13:12:49 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Dallas Clark and WR Vincent Jackson should both see playing time in their game against the Tennessee Titans Friday, Aug. 17, although the starters should not see extended playing time until week three of the preseason.
Tue, 14 Aug 2012 10:00:28 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup QB Dan Orlovsky has been extremely impressed with WR Vincent Jackson during training camp this year. "I've had the chance to play with some Hall of Fame receivers," Orlovsky said. "Andre Johnson in Houston, Reggie (Wayne) and Calvin (Johnson) in Detroit. The similarities between them are scary. There's an unbelievable amount of humility. I say they have talent and perform like they're elite players, but they work like they're undrafted rookies."
Thu, 02 Aug 2012 11:05:34 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib is enjoying his practice time against WR Vincent Jackson, saying he is a prototypical wide receiver. Talib notes he is "no slouch" himself.
Fri, 27 Jul 2012 22:29:02 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers WRs Preston Parker, Sammie Stroughter and Mike Williams are in the mix to start opposite WR Vincent Jackson. The trio will get a chance to shine in training camp and preseason with WR Arrelious Benn (knee) out at least a month.
Thu, 19 Jul 2012 05:07:00 -0700 San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers said he will miss WR Vincent Jackson, who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the offseason; however, he is excited about the receivers on the roster. "You miss Vincent Jackson, I wish we never had to lose any of the big free agents that we lost," Rivers said. "But at the same time, I'm excited about who we gained in return. And getting Eddie Royal, getting Robert Meachem, those are guys that can make plays and do some different things."
Thu, 05 Jul 2012 10:08:59 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson was QB Josh Freeman's top target throughout the offseason workouts and likely will be during the regular season as well.
Mon, 21 May 2012 07:27:07 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson has been mentoring the team's receivers during offseason workouts. "We still get advice from each other, too, but it's mostly coming from him now," WR Mike Williams said of Jackson. "He's been showing us a lot of what he's seen throughout his long career and his 1,000-yard seasons and his Pro Bowl seasons."
Tue, 13 Mar 2012 17:47:02 -0700 The addition of WR Vincent Jackson to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense immediately gives the team the No. 1 wide receiver the team and fans were looking for. Jackson, at 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, is a big target with surprising speed and an ability to get open downfield. The team said in January they would spend whatever it takes to win in the future, and they did just that as soon as the free-agent market opened. Buccaneers wide receivers struggled to get open last year, leading to a poor season by QB Josh Freeman. With Jackson, 29, in town, the hope is he will draw the attention of opposing defenses and open things up for WRs Mike Williams and Arrelious Benn, who become the second and third receivers, respectively. The Buccaneers have also made it clear they are building the team around Freeman, and considering they are looking at high-profile offensive linemen they may not be done spending money yet.
Tue, 13 Mar 2012 17:28:09 -0700 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached a five-year deal with free-agent WR Vincent Jackson (Chargers). It is worth $55.55 million, which includes $26 million in guaranteed money. Jackson will land $36 million in the first three years of the contract, including $26 million in the first two years. Fantasy Tip: Josh Freeman has the arm to take advantage of Jackson's deep prowess, but this is a downgrade from Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers' passing attack; Tampa Bay will probably still be a run-heavy club. New offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan had recent success as the New York Giants' wideout and QB coach, so maybe there's a future for this vertical game, but for now, it's hard to value Jackson as more than a midrange No. 2 fantasy WR in standard scoring. In point-per-reception setups, he's downgraded to a high-end No. 3.
Tue, 13 Mar 2012 16:09:50 -0700 The Washington Redskins were never really going to be a player for free-agent WR Vincent Jackson (Chargers).
Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:11:56 -0700 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on the verge of signing free-agent WR Vincent Jackson (Chargers).
Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:50:54 -0700 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may make a strong run at free-agent WR Vincent Jackson (Chargers); they are very confident they can sign a top-tier free agent. The Buccaneers have the most room under the salary cap in the NFL.

Sun, 11 Mar 2012 20:47:41 -0700 The San Diego Chargers might go as high as $11 million per year, as they try to keep impending free-agent WR Vincent Jackson from hitting the open market Tuesday, March 13. The Chargers offense is a comfortable place for Jackson, which is a big part of why he is willing to take less from the Chargers than another team.
Sun, 11 Mar 2012 20:45:01 -0700 The Chicago Bears are expected to be among the most aggressive suitors for San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson, an impending free agent.
