J.C. Jackson is on the fast track to free agency, and the expectation is that he will cash in on a big money deal with someone other than the New England Patriots. That puts cornerback at the top of New England’s offseason priorities list.
As we head into free agency, the Patriots’ cornerback room doesn’t look like one that will strike fear in the hearts of many opposing quarterbacks. Jalen Mills, Jonathan Jones, Joejuan Williams, and Shaun Wade are the current full-time corners on New England’s roster. Mills is the only one in that group to start more than one game in 2021, while Jones is coming off of season ending shoulder surgery.
