Pats trade for JC Jackson

Per Ian Rapoport:

 

[n1997y]

Putting the band back together!

Will they now sign Chandler?

I guess that means Gonzo is out for the season and/or the Jones Brothers are going to be out longer than we think.

Or they got him for next to nothing and wanted to see if he has anything left.

 

[Sicilian]

While I'm not at all confident that the dude isn't washed at this point (putting aside the potential legal issues as well), at the very least you shouldn't need a lot of time to get him up to speed on the defense. For a team that needs help at corner NOW, that's the "best" thing you can look for. Not holding my breath that he's a difference maker, but he should be better in man coverage than Wade or Bryant.

Not so sure it means all of that. Marcus Jones we know is likely done for the year. But even still, the depth is depleted with all three of those guys already dealing with injuries. Bill clearly saw he can't have Myles Bryant out there as a starting outside CB.

Luckily the Pats are stacked on the other side of the ball and don't need help.

They better restructure his contract. I wanted him back next season when he was inevitably released.

 

[Love The Drake]

Wow

It makes sense guessing he’s a taking an sig pay cut.
I actually really like this move.
Bill got the most out of him.
I’m sure he will forever grateful to be back.
Can only have Myles Bryant back there for so long.
So when If Gonzo comes back we arguably have the best backfield with The 3 Jones JC

Not much given up at all, win win really:

Need to rework that deal for sure.
now go get some coverage linebackers a explosive running back a o line and Will Grier starter reps.

Well, money. If they don't restructure his contract, he's going to be a financial burden.

I love it if the contract is being reduced.
I called it the other day I said it was a Patrick Chung situation.

A glass half full perspective that Arch will inevitably disagree with is that JC was pretty fantastic here, and the Chargers may be one of the most poorly coached defenses in the league.

It would not shock me one bit if he improved his performance returning here. Worth a shot either way.

 

[203Pat]

Now that he's back in town he can fix that warrant.

Have to coach bad habits and rebuild that confidence teams will test him early if he’s on the field.

He's a good player in this system. Outside of it, not so much. Fortunately, he's coming back to the system where he has success.

I have to imagine he's taking a pay cut or the Chargers are paying a good chunk of any owed money otherwise this isn't a great deal for us.

 

[Ring 6]

I have to imagine he's taking a payout or the Chargers are paying a good chunk of any owed money otherwise this isn't a great deal for us.

Nothing to lose. The chargers eat the signing bonus, dead money if he is cut is zero.
