The cornerback market is going to be a pricey one heading into free agency. New England Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson is among the corners who could be on the market.
NFL Media’s Mike Giardi indicated that Jackson wants to be played like a top-five player at the position. Jackson was a key part of the New England secondary in 2021, recording eight interceptions. He was able to help the Patriots find stability at the position, with the Patriots electing to trade Stephon Gilmore in October.
As Jackson heads into free agency, some of the top cornerbacks in football have been able to set the market prices. Girardi thinks this could be a sticking point for the Patriots.
