The Los Angeles Rams signed their first offseason free agent out of season and is a familiar face to Sean McVay. The team announced Sunday night that it had agreed to sign deals with wide receiver DeSean Jackson for a one-year contract.
Contract details were not immediately available.
Jackson, 34, is from Long Beach, so this is a comeback 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 in 2014-2016. In 2019, Jackson said he wants a chance to play for McVay again, and now he will have the opportunity.
Although he has only played eight games in the last two seasons, he is still a deep legitimate threat and has a very high speed. He led the NFL in the backyard four times, including in 2018 with Bucs (18.9).
