The Patriots have re-signed cornerback JC Jackson, bringing back the former undrafted free agent who finished second in the NFL in interceptions in 2020.
The restricted free agent returns to New England where he will be paid $3.88m this upcoming season after signing the second-round tender the Patriots placed on him prior to the start of free agency.
He will become an unrestricted free agent next offseason.
The Patriots also announced Friday they released offensive lineman Dustin Woodard.
