FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots released cornerback J.C. Jackson on Friday, an expected move due to financial considerations.

The Patriots had acquired Jackson from the Los Angeles Chargers in October after they lost rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez, a 2023 first-round pick, to a season-ending shoulder injury. Jackson had fallen out of favor with the Chargers, who signed him to a five-year, $82.
