Patriots’ JC Jackson Shares Free Agency Update

JC Jackson likes to play, but he also likes to get paid, and this seems to be his free agency update. The New England Patriots entered the offseason with a few big issues on the table. Several Patriots players are entering free agency and Jackson is one of them. How will the Patriots handle the situation?

Jackson has a few options at the moment. He can look for a bigger contract somewhere else. He can also stay with the Patriots. Let’s not forget that he is just 26. Bill Belichick likes talented players and Jackson was one of the best players on his 2021 roster.

JC Jackson has a surprising update on his free agency

Jackon had an interview with Phil Perry from NBC Sports and revealed that the Patriots haven’t called him to start off contract talks. Interestingly, Jackson says that the Patriots don’t need him. Probably. He is an amazing player, but he is surprised by the fact that the team hasn’t shown any interest in getting him.

“I guess they feel like they don’t need me,” Jackson said. “Guess I can’t be that important to them. I know I am, but they’re not showing me.”

Of course, the Patriots mentioned an extension at one point of the regular season. It didn’t happen though. They didn’t materialize the contract. Will they start off negotiations in the near future? Who knows…

“It was all positive things,” Jackson added. “I wanted to focus on ball at the time. Wanted to finish the season the right way. I didn’t really come back to them on it.”

Several NFL analysts have agreed that Jackson is the best free agent on the Patriots roster at the moment. NFL teams won’t waste any time and he’d get a new job right away.

“I love the game,” Jackson said in his interview. “If they tag me, I’m gonna go out there and play.”

We couldn’t agree more. Jackson really looks like someone who loves the game. He had incredible performance in 2021 and it would be more than great to see him back in the fold.
