The Los Angeles Chargers and cornerback J.C. Jackson have agreed to a five-year, $82.5 million contract with $40 million guaranteed. Jackson is coming off arguably the best season of his career in 2021, leading the Patriots defense from the cornerback position.
The 26-year-old Jackson has been one of the most productive corners in the NFL since entering the league in 2018, and he far exceeded his status as an un-drafted free-agent signing by the New England Patriots. He was named a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career after setting career highs with 58 tackles and a league-high 23 passes defended, along with eight interceptions.
