Panthers
Carolina Panthers cornerback Dane Jackson will get a chance to compete for a starting spot with his new team after mostly playing as a backup and special teams ace with the Buffalo Bills. The 27-year-old will reunite with general manager Dan Morgan after Morgan famously pounded the table for the Bills to draft Jackson in the seventh round in 2020. Jackson's size (5-foot-11, 180 pounds) makes him susceptible to over-the-top throws, but he has a competitive spirit and is a good tackler. The Panthers could add another cornerback on the open market, but Jackson is going to have a much bigger role in his first year in Carolina in 2024. He has 152 combined tackles (129 solo), three interceptions, 28 passes defended, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in his four years in the NFL.

Dane Jackson Agrees To Terms With Panthers
The Carolina Panthers are signing free-agent cornerback Dane Jackson to a two-year deal worth up to $14.5 million, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The former seventh-round pick has spent his entire four-year career with the Buffalo Bills, totaling 152 tackles, three interceptions, and 28 passes defended in 52 games (28 starts). The contract suggests Jackson will begin training camp as a starter, especially after the Panthers agreed to trade Donte Jackson and a late-round draft pick to the Steelers in exchange for Diontae Johnson and a late-round draft pick.

Dane Jackson, Taylor Rapp Ruled Out For Week 12
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that cornerback Dane Jackson (concussion) and safety Taylor Rapp (neck) have been ruled out for Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Nickel cornerback Taron Johnson (head) has cleared the concussion protocol, though, which is a major development for Buffalo's secondary against a high-powered opposing offense this weekend. The Bills' secondary is pretty beat up, which could cause Damar Hamlin to get some playing time for only the second time in 2023. The Bills have a much-needed bye next week, which will give their beat up defense some time to rest up before the stretch run. Buffalo's defense/special teams unit is a clear fade in Week 12 against the one-loss Eagles.

Dane Jackson Released From Hospital
Buffalo Bills cornerback Dane Jackson (neck), who was involved in a scary collision with his own teammate on Monday night against the Tennessee Titans, was released from the hospital (he walked out) and had full movement in his extremities. Jackson had to be taken off the field in an ambulance in the Week 2 blowout win over the Titans, but he's out of the hospital and is already home on Tuesday, which is excellent news. All indications are that Jackson avoided a major injury, but it remains to be seen when he might be able to rejoin the team. Before leaving the game on Monday night, the 25-year-old had two solo tackles and a pass defensed.

Dane Jackson Goes To Buffalo
With the 239th overall pick in the NFL Draft in the seventh round, the Buffalo Bills selected Pittsburgh cornerback Dane Jackson. Jackson is only 6-foot, 187 pounds, but he makes up for it by playing with an attitude, and he can play outside near the sideline or in the slot, so that gives him a leg up in sticking on an NFL roster. He's a high-energy player, but one wonders if his small frame and average speed will allow him to stick with more physical receivers at the next level.
