The New England cornerback may well be pushed to see if the grass is greener elsewhere.
What if JC Jackson doesn’t return to Foxborough? From undrafted player in 2018 to Pro Bowler in 2021, the young cornerback is now one of the solid players in his position. Still, the Patriots wouldn’t be in a rush to offer him an extension. Information given by the player himself, who explains that he has not had contact with his franchise since the end of the season on this subject. On NBC Sport, Jackson expressed his frustration with this situation.
“I guess they feel like they don’t need me. I guess I’m not that important to them. I know I am, but they don’t show it to me. »
A love story that therefore seems to be coming to an end, but Jackson does not let himself be defeated, he is ready to move on.
“What will happen will happen. I take it day by day. But it’s time for me to get paid. It’s time for Mr. Interception to be paid. »
With 17 interceptions over the last two seasons, Jackson has, in any case, arguments to raise the stakes.
