Jackson returns after signing a one-year, 2nd round tender. The team has to make a decision with him next year at the latest but should do so during the season to sew him up long-term.

Jackson notched three interceptions and opposing QBs had just a 42.0 passer rating when targeting him. Some NFL insiders believe he has All-Pro potential

According to PFF, Jackson allowed only 22 receptions on 42 targets for a combined 262 yards as well as zero touchdowns to go along with his three picks

Jackson has good athleticism and he will fight for the ball at the high point. While he isn’t a burner and doesn’t possess great top end speed, he’s quick off the line and at the snap he can lock up with a receiver and is very physical.

The Patriots on Saturday have swung a trade with the Detroit Lions for the cornerback and special teams standout Johnson Bademosi.

Gilmore who is a bigger, physical corner and immediately upgrades the position. Together the duo of Butler and Gilmore on paper looks to be a very good one.

Wilson made 54 tackles (45 solo), including 2.5 for a loss, and picked off five passes, had 10 passes defensed, and recovered two fumbles in 2016.

Butler has developed into one of the best corners in the game. He has a short-term memory, is very physical, doesn’t back down from a challenge

Made 65 tackles, with 12 PBUs, two forced fumbles and an interception in 2106 for the Buffaloes. He’s got the size, 6-0, 202-pounds to line up inside or out

The Saints need to realize the value Butler brings in what is now a passing league to understand that it may cost a little more than they might have thought to get him.

Butler is not an unrestricted free agent. He’s still restricted and essentially belongs to New England for at least the 2017 season.
