The New England Patriots acquired cornerback J.C. Jackson from the San Diego Chargers on Thursday in exchange for swapping late-round draft picks in 2025, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Jackson, who went drafted in 2018, began his NFL career in New England and spent four seasons with the Patriots where he won a Super Bowl. The 27-year-old joined the Chargers in March 2022 after signing a five-year, $82.5 million deal.
According to ESPN, the teams are reworking the remaining $9.33 million salary owed to Jackson for this season with the Patriots paying nearly $1.
