NFL Insider Believes This Team Makes Most Sense For JC Jackson

The New England Patriots have plenty of time to repair the damage and fix their roster. Head coach Bill Belichick will probably lose some of his talented players to other teams. Some of them will seek better deals while others will try to find a new home for other “obvious” reasons. According to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, the Patriots are not the team that makes most sense for JC Jackson.

Jackson was the top cornerback for the Patriots in 2021. However, he is entering free agency, and yes, NFL teams have shown great interest for him. If you ask Fowler, he will say that the Arizona Cardinals make great sense for Jackson.

“The Cardinals have shown they will do whatever it takes to win, and signing Jackson would be a win,” Fowler claims. “A top-shelf cover corner in his prime with serious ball production (17 interceptions since 2020) gives Arizona just what it needs to stabilize the secondary. The Raiders, with strong New England ties, make sense, too.”

NFL world agrees – This Arizona team makes sense for JC Jackson

Matt Bowen from ESPN would definitely agree on this one. He detailed Jackson’s role in Arizona and let’s just say it makes sense for both sides.

“Jackson is an upper-tier corner in this league, with the coverage traits and playmaking ability to consistently find the ball,” Bowen wrote. “It’s an easy transition here to Vance Joseph’s scheme, where we should see more man coverage and pressure with Jackson in the mix.”

Belichick will have to think twice before letting Jackson go at this point. He already lost Stephon Gilmore. Jackson’s departure would leave a big hole on the position. New England had great cornerbacks entering the 2021 NFL season and things may fall apart easily.

Jackson was more than happy to play with the Patriots. He is expected to re-sign with the team. Belichick could spoil this scenario because he is Bill Belichick – a man who won’t spend too much money to make someone stay. Is Jackson willing to get less money for his great talent? Maybe. Probably.
