DeSean Jackson appears set to join the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Los Angeles Rams waived veteran wide receiver on Tuesday after the team could not move him before the NFL's trade deadline.
Jackson posted a photo illustration of himself in a Raiders uniform to his Instagram account on Sunday, not long after long-time NFL reporter Josina Anderson said the three-time Pro Bowler told her he was joining Las Vegas.
The 34-year-old, who signed a one-year deal in the offseason, caught eight of 15 passes for 221 yards and one touchdown in seven games for the Rams.
"I understand that everything happens for a reason and I look forward to beginning the next chapter of my NFL career," Jackson said after his release by LA.
The Raiders immediately emerged as a likely destination when they cut ties with receiver Henry Ruggs III this week after he was charged by police following a fatal car crash.
Various injuries limited Jackson to eight total games over the previous two seasons in his second career stint with the Philadelphia Eagles.
All three of his Pro-Bowl selections came in his first spell with the Eagles, as he had at least 900 yards receiving in five of his first six seasons in the league.
