At a certain point during the 2018 season, it became clear that DeSean Jackson wasn’t going to be with the Buccaneers much longer. His time in Tampa Bay was largely a bust, but whenever his imminent departure was talked about, it seemed like the conversation was geared toward who would step into his role as the team’s primary deep threat.
When the Bucs traded Jackson to the Eagles in March, they ended up signing Breshad Perriman shortly after. Perriman has elite speed and the ability to take the top off a defense, which makes him pretty well-suited to replace Jackson.
