Coveted free-agent cornerback J.C. Jackson has agreed to a massive five-year, $82.5 million deal with the Chargers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday.
Jackson, 26, is set to earn $40 million in guaranteed money, Schefter added.
The news was first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The former Patriots standout heads to the City of Angels after a stellar campaign in which he earned his first career Pro Bowl nod and a second-team All-Pro selection.
After signing a one-year, $3.384 million deal as a second-round tender last offseason, Jackson outplayed the value of the deal in 2021.
