Five Things to Know: Patriots and NFL Thoughts for 2/23

Some news and notes as we hit the halfway point for the week:

1) Following Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston’s report on Tuesday night on J.C. Jackson, one of the smaller tidbits that stood out was the fact the Patriots apparently tried to get something done during the 2021 season to prevent him from hitting free agency.

Jackson told Perry that the club approached him about an extension during the year but the two sides weren’t able to come to an agreement. He didn’t elaborate on when exactly that happened, but he did say that despite failing to get it done, there were no hard feelings.
