Do Fans Want Raiders To Move On From WR DeSean Jackson?
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver DeSean Jackson arrived in the midst of a difficult situation following the tragedy involving Henry Ruggs III. However, how does Raider Nation feel about the prospect of him returning?
The Silver and Black were in desperate need of speed following Ruggs’ release. So, they opted to bring in Jackson, though in hindsight, maybe the Raiders would have been better off picking up Odell Beckham Jr. Regardless, after struggling to find his place, Jackson had a breakout game on Thanksgiving versus the Dallas Cowboys. He caught three passes, going for 102 receiving yards, which meant an average of 34 yards per catch. It was obvious that Jackson could still fly. Unfortunately, he never came close to that production again. After Thanksgiving, Jackson never saw more than five targets in a game.
There are likely a litany of reasons as to why Jackson simply didn’t mesh with the Raiders, maybe a lack of trust from Derek Carr or offensive coordinator Greg Olson not dialing up enough plays for him. Regardless, we posed the question to Raider Nation via a poll on Twitter.
