Eight veteran NFL free agents that really should just retire

Jackson is the second-oldest active free agent receiver in the league. But the three-time Pro Bowler doesn’t seem to have any plans of retiring.

Jackson’s targets decreased dramatically the last two seasons he played opposite Mike Evans, who recently became the new star in town. During 2015-16 Jackson played in only 15 games and caught a total of 48 balls for a 716 yards and three touchdowns.

Jackson’s 2016 campaign was his worst by far. He managed to catch only 34.6 percent of his targets prior to landing on IR after tearing his ACL in Week 5.

Jackson signed on with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2012 on a lucrative five-year, $55.5 million contract. Unfortunately, two terribly down seasons could lead to a very meager one-year deal if Jackson decides to pursue employment in 2017.
