The Los Angeles Chargers sought a mea culpa regarding J.C. Jackson's five-year, $82.5 million contract, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim.
The Chargers traded Jackson to the New England Patriots in October, an admission of a costly failure. Rhim reported general manager Tom Telesco acknowledged as much to L.A.'s other defensive backs.
"Telesco told the group that signing Jackson was a mistake, according to multiple team sources," per Rhim. "He apologized for continuing to give Jackson opportunities, despite Jackson routinely showing that he wasn't as committed as the rest of the team while being one of the Chargers' highest paid players.
