In fact, he even apologized for how he acted during the season after he never received the contract extension he wanted so badly.

“I can admit to certain things affecting me this season. I just want to apologize,” Jackson said. “I probably could have handled it a little bit differently, but now sitting here after the season’s over I can just say I was able to put it behind me and really just fight for my teammates, fight for my organization.”

Jackson let it be known he wanted a new contract before the season even started. The fourth-year wide receiver held out of training camp for a period of time before eventually reporting to camp, hoping a deal would eventually be struck. That never happened, and now Jackson is set to become a free agent. Jackson though, also added he would accept the franchise tag if it was tenured to him.
