The 2023 season has been one to forget for Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson.
The veteran defensive back opted to not speak with the media following Sunday’s loss to the Commanders — a game where Jackson sat on the bench for the first two defensive series at Gillette Stadium.
But his uneven tenure in New England stands as an improvement over his disastrous stint with the Chargers — with Los Angeles opting to deal him back to the Patriots just one season after it signed him to a five-year, $82.5 million deal in free agency.
Things apparently got so bad between Jackson and the Chargers that Los Angeles GM Tom Telesco stepped in during a defensive backs meeting to personally apologize for signing Jackson.
