JC Jackson issue “being worked through”.

[UGAPatsfan]

Herald article with a Paywall so I didn’t read it, but…unless his “mental health issue” prevents them somehow from cutting him, what’s to work through?

Cut. His. Ass.

If we are stuck with this cap because he’s got some emotional issues that would suck.

Why wouldn't you try to get him help and keep him on the team?

Yup, this is where I am at...

JCJ can ball and as long as it doesn't kill our cap space...sign me up.

This was the type of trade that asks for the Owner to fire you. The guy couldn't run and had issues with the Chargers coaches. Yet, he's still traded for. He still graded out as one of the worst CB's in the league after being traded to the Pats. I read other articles and it looks like it's going to be a restructure or release.

Patriots Set to Cut Ties With Controversial $83 Million Ex-Pro Bowler: 'Formality'

The Patriots would save more than $14 million off their salary cap sheet if and when they officially cut CB JC Jackson.

If Wolf & Co. are convinced they can get a better value for the $14,375,000 in cap space that will be devoted in 2024 to Jackson, then they would be negligent in their duties to not cut him. There are only nine NFL CBs taking up that much cap space.

I know that is harsh, but that is the reality of the often times difficult decision making that a GM has to make.

Because he has a $14M cap hit, sucks now, and has been a problem for literally years for whatever team he plays for.

All for the dude getting help, but a young, rebuilding team can’t afford any cancers of any kind.

I want our extra 14 Million to play with!!!

 

[kevan]

JC can play when he's on point. Hes another year removed from that injury. If he's got his head on straight restructure to a 1 year 3 mil prove it deal. He already got 1 big contract he can do it again if he puts it back together

Not anywhere close to 14 Million worth of ball.

Not anywhere close to 14 Million worth of ball.

give my man therapy and 5 mill.

 

[JohnJH]

give my man therapy and 5 mill.

Therapy and an incentive laden 3 Mill.

 

[jimnance]

give my man therapy and 5 mill.

Damn, I'd do therapy for $5 mil.
I'm already lying on a couch, so no prob.

OK, but how low will you go?

 

[Zuma]

I don’t see a problem with working with the young lad to help him get straight…while also adjusting his contract.

Too expensive.

How about he just takes a reworked deal? No one else is paying him much more than a couple million at this point.

 

[Rob0729]

The Pats have no reason to rush to cut him. They have plenty of cap space to be a major player in free agency and his salary doesn’t become guaranteed until right before the start of the season. They can cut him or redo his deal so he takes a major pay cut any time during the offseason.

I would have to assume they're deciding whether or not to extend him or not. No way they go into next season as things currently stand.
