J.C. Jackson Signs His Tender
4 years agoNew England Patriots restricted free-agent cornerback J.C. Jackson signed his second-round tender offer on Friday. However, interested teams could still offer lower draft picks and create a trade, similar to the Malcolm Butler situation a few years back. Jackson will make $3.38 million now that he's back with the Patriots. The 25-year-old became a star for New England's secondary in 2020 with nine interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Jackson entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Maryland in 2018 and quickly became one of the team's top defensive players, as he has 17 career interceptions in just three seasons. He also had 14 passes defensed last year and hasn't missed a game since his rookie season.
