Ex-Raiders Wide Reciever has announced his retirement.

Wide receiver DeSean Jackson stated over the summer that he was not retiring from the NFL, but that we would all know when he did.

That information was released on Wednesday. The Eagles announced on Friday that Jackson will retire from the team and act as an honorary captain for Sunday’s game against the 49ers.

Jackson entered the NFL as a second-round pick of the Eagles in 2008 and went on to make three Pro Bowls with the organization through the 2013 season. He went on to play for the Washington Redskins and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before returning to the Eagles in 2019 and 2020. He finished his career with the Raiders, Rams, and Ravens over the last two seasons.

In 183 career games, Jackson has 641 catches for 11,263 yards and 58 touchdowns. He also ran 72 times for 463 yards and four touchdowns and returned four punts for touchdowns, including a game-winning walk-off return against the Giants in 2010.

Jackson is 75th in NFL history in catches and 38th in receiving yards. In those two categories, he ranks sixth and third in Eagles history.
