2023 Fantasy Outlook
Arguably the marquee defensive free-agent signing last offseason, Jackson's first year in Los Angeles was an unmitigated disaster. The 27-year-old struggled to operate as a true outside corner, failing to tally a single interception in five games before a brutal ruptured patellar tendon ended his season prematurely. Jackson is expected to be healthy by Week 1 and projects to be the team's lockdown corner with Asante Samuel and Michael Davis operating as the other two starters. Read Past Outlooks

March 1, 2024
The Patriots announced Friday that Jackson (illness) is being released.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was reacquainted with the Patriots less than a year ago via a trade from the Chargers, but he was scheduled for a cap hit of over $14 million for the 2024 campaign. New England didn't specify that Jackson, who ended the 2023 season on the NFI list, is being cut with an injury designation, which would indicate that he's now healthy. Jackson's quality of play hasn't been the same since recovering from a ruptured patellar tendon in 2022, but he's still likely to garner interest on the open market.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
The Patriots opted not to place their franchise tag on Jackson opening the door for the premiere cornerback to sign a massive five-year, $82.5 million deal with the Chargers this offseason. One of the league's premier ballhawks since entering the NFL in 2018, Jackson recorded 25 interceptions over his first four seasons, and his eight picks in 2021 surpassed the Chargers' entire total as a team (seven). He'll be part of an up-and-coming Los Angeles secondary that includes three recent early round draft picks in safeties Derwin James and Nasir Adderley and cornerback Asante Samuel.
The 25-year-old, who joined the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2018, has emerged both as a key member of his team's secondary and as an IDP option. Jackson logged 40 tackles and nine picks in 16 games last season and his role in the defense looms large out of the gate, with fellow starting cornerback Stephon Gilmore slated to start the 2021 season on the PUP list.
