J.C. Jackson Patriots Bill Belichick

The New England Patriots can make their first move of the 2022 offseason with cornerback J.C. Jackson.

There are a lot of ways this situation can play out. The Patriots and Jackson have tough decisions to make in the coming weeks.

He has so far earned roughly $5.6 million.
