J.C. Jackson News
The New England Patriots are releasing veteran cornerback J.C. Jackson ahead of free agency. The move clears $14 million in cap with no dead money. Jackson spent the first four seasons of his NFL career as a Patriot before signing a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Chargers ahead of the 2022 campaign. He played in just two games for the Chargers in 2023 and was traded back to the Patriots for a late-round draft pick. Unfortunately, he continued to struggle, and now his NFL career is uncertain. The 28-year-old has 26 interceptions in 77 career games.
New England Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson is not expected to travel with the team to Germany to face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10. The former Pro Bowler was recently traded to New England -- where he began his career -- after less than two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the decision was made to have him stay home, get through the bye, and return in a better place. Jackson has played in five games since being shipped to New England, posting 14 tackles and three passes defended. It appears as if his best days are behind him as a player. Myles Bryant, Jonathan Jones, and Jack Jones are the team's top three cornerbacks for this international matchup.
The Los Angeles Chargers are trading cornerback J.C. Jackson to the New England Patriots for a swap of late-round picks. Jackson signed a five-year $82.5 million contract with the Chargers before the start of the 2022 campaign but has not played up to expectations. The 27-year-old was drafted by New England in 2018 and earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro Honors with the organization in 2021. With first-round rookie Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) out indefinitely, the Patriots are hoping Jackson can revive his career with this reunion.
