Instant analysis of Patriots cutting CB J.C. Jackson on Friday

Well, that didn’t last long.

Nearly six months after trading for J.C. Jackson, the New England Patriots are moving on from the former All-Pro cornerback. The team officially announced his release on Friday, which wasn’t really that big of a surprise.

Jackson’s on-field production was up and down in his return, and he reportedly missed the final four games of the season due to a personal matter. He was also sent home for the Patriots’ international game in Germany against the Indianapolis Colts, after missing curfew at the team hotel.

At the end of the day, the level of production didn’t match the contract.
