DeSean Jackson wants his tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to end immediately, and is apparently trying to speak a move into existence.

On Monday, Jackson took to Instagram and bid farewell to the franchise, writing, "Tampa it was a great experience, but things didn’t work out!! Looking forward to my next destination."

However, Jackson has yet to be officially released, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Tampa Bay is also reportedly fielding offers for the receiver but is struggling to find a trade partner.

The 32-year-old Jackson has been clamoring for a departure from South Florida since last season. He previously identified the Los Angeles Rams as an ideal landing spot and more recently voiced a desire to rejoin the Philadelphia Eagles, according to reports.

The veteran has one year left on his contract with Tampa Bay. He totaled 774 yards and four touchdowns last season, struggling once again to develop chemistry with quarterback Jameis Winston.
