Fresh off a one-year league suspension, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have decided to give the hard hitting safety a new contract extension. The Buccaneers franchise announced this afternoon that Jackson has been extended through the 2012 NFL regular season, a contract which essentially doubles his current contract. This is a risky move by the Buccaneers, S Tanard Jackson has been suspended twice on substance abuse violations and another violation would result in a complete banishment of playing in the NFL with any future violation. Jackson has played in two games for the Buccaneers after bring reinstated and has recorded two interceptions. The safety’s new contract is reportedly $1.454 million this season and $2 million in 2012. Jackson gives the Buccaneers some much needed stability at the safety position. Cody Grimm has shown promise for the young Bucs defense, but has struggled to stay healthy and is dealing with another season ending injury this year.

If I’m a 25-year old, talented as hell, cornerback that maybe one slip up away from the CFL and had a rap sheet longer than Al Capone (Mad Dog voice), I don’t think I’d affiliate myself at an event called “Coon-A-Ween“.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are above .500 and just one game out of first place in the NFC South, but their season so far has been a little up and down. In week five, they lost by 45.
