Patriots Reacquire Cornerback J.C. Jackson in Trade with Chargers

The Patriots traded for J.C. Jackson, who previously played for them from 2018-2021.
Jackson signed a big contract with the Chargers in 2022 but struggled with injuries and performance.
The Patriots made the trade to address injuries in their secondary, including rookie CB Christian Gonzalez.
Jackson and the Patriots will adjust his 2023 salary, with the Chargers covering most of it.
In his first Patriots tenure, Jackson was a standout with 25 interceptions in four seasons.
