The cornerback from the Jets. The rookie went undrafted and was picked up by the Jets. He’s had 2 seasons for the Jets.

Signed on a futures contract.

I watched a lot of him at Nebraska (my wife is a Husker). He seems like a safety playing corner. We already have a safety that plays like a corner...so maybe they flip-flop?

I was a fan of Jackson as a convert to safety when he came out in 2020. Good size and productivity, okay athleticism with poor speed. Guessing he doesn't amount to squat, but worth a look.

Good signing I think, especially in the event they hire Eberflus. He's going to want a bunch of these safety/corner types to play more zone. I think he'd move Bojack to nickel on sub package downs just because he's the best zone db we have and nickel is very important in his scheme

EDIT: Wait a sec... who signed him? We don't have a GM. Our pro personnel guy is GOING ROGUE???

I wondered that too. Can't they wait a week until we actually have a GM and a HC?

Josh Lucas and Champ Kelly are still on the payroll.

I think its a good sign that ownership still values their remaining management people. They're showing confidence in Champ Kelly, which is as it should be.
