Jackson earns Bucs contract


University of South Florida WR Amarri Jackson was offered a free agent contract with the Bucs and expected to sign by Tuesday, club sources said.

Jackson was one of three players invited to the Bucs’ mini-camp last week who earned a free agent contract.

Jackson said last weekend, “If you watched me at USF, hopefully you get a chance to watch me in Tampa Bay. If you haven’t watched me, I’m looking forward to showing you what I can do in the near future.”

Jackson will now get that chance.

“I’ve been through it all my life. This is nothing,” Jackson said. “This is just another hurdle to jump over and I’m there.”

Former USF offensive linemen Jarred Carnes and Walter Walker also competed in the Bucs’ mini-camp, but did not receive free agent deals from the Bucs.

Jackson will join former Bulls Mike Jenkins (Dallas), Trae Williams (Jacksonville) and Ben Moffitt (Houston) in NFL camps this summer.

The Bucs are expected to announce their three additional free agent signings Tuesday.

A snowball has a better chance!

This guy will be cut before camp starts...He sucks!

this guy is a loser - he had one good game 3 years ago - he is slow and can’t hold on to the ball - if he didn’t think so highly of himself he might actually work a little harder - he’s basically a slower Michael Clayton with more cement in his hands if that is even possible.

Paris Warren is still a Buc

This kid can play.  He’s the real deal.  He has a high vertical leap and good hands.  Plus he’s tough.  This is a good get; and he’s cheap.  Once the rough edges come off, watch for him to be an impact player on Sundays.

This is nice to see a young undrafted WR with promise. Makes me think of Paris Warren....and why haven’t we resign Paris BTW? He is still a UFA. We are so hurting at WR it would be really stupid to let a good young reciever like Paris Warren go, when he has shown flashes and has potential.

Thanks again for the timely update.  According to nfl.com, Clifton Smith, RB from Fresno State also received a contract.
