The Buccaneers made quite the splash, didn’t they? That’s the way to start off free agency with a bang. Jameis Winston wanted him, you fans wanted him, and now DeSean Jackson is a member of the Bucs.

DeSean Jackson, the top wide receiver on the free agent market, joins Jameis Winston and Mike Evans. Jason Licht has fired a shot heard around the NFC South. That shot tells everyone that 9-7 was not good enough, and the Bucs are here to compete.

Licht means business and that is bad news for the rest of the league. It’s good news for Bucs Nation, however.

While you all enjoy the moment, take note of a very important fact. Not only was Jackson the best talent available on the market, he is also the perfect player to complement the Bucs system.

Here are five reasons why this move is nothing short of spectacular.
