NFL Trade Deadline News & Rumors: William Jackson III will be released if Washington can’t trade him

The Washington Commanders will reportedly release CB William Jackson III if they can’t find a trade partner to take on his contract. There have been trade rumors swirling around him for weeks, but Jackson denied the initial reports that he requested a trade and wanted to go to a team that ran a scheme that he could actually look like an NFL cornerback in. Jackson has been called out by coached for his lack of communication and understanding of the scheme that Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio runs in Washington.

William Jackson III hasn’t played in the last 3 games and has been listed with a back injury.
