His margin of victory for the award was the "fan vote" in which he gained four votes based on internet polling. Were it not for the fan votes, Simeon Rice would have won the award.

After winning the Super Bowl MVP award, Jackson accepted a large offer from the Arizona Cardinals. He went on to have the best season of his career with them in 2003, recording a career high 6 interceptions.

Jackson rejoined the Buccaneers in 2004, and played with them until the end of the 2005 season. He then left the team and signed with the Bengals as a free agent.
