As opposed to being able to trade from a position of strength as a 1-3 team with apocalyptic injuries all over the defense? Of course they are desperate. They need bodies.Reeks of desperation.
No future obligatory cap hits other than not rolling over about 10 mil he’ll make this year.Can't hurt (unless there's some bad cap hit in future seasons). Guy flourished here and clearly needs a fresh start.
Perfect.No future obligatory cap hits other than not rolling over about 10 mil he’ll make this year.
He will cost like $7M for this year and then they can cut him with no hit.I dont get this. I mean i get needing CB depth, bit with this $ attached? We aren't one player away from anything except assuring we finish 8-9.
He is, at around a $14M cap hit, but zero dead cap if cut.Isn't he signed for a few more seasons???
They desperately need CB depth and he's probably the highest ceiling guy they could get. He was a disaster with the Chargers but was successful here before. If it doesn't work out they just cut him after the season.I dont get this. I mean i get needing CB depth, bit with this $ attached?

Apparently the Chargers are paying “most” of JC’s contract this year.
All the more reason to love the move. If JCJ plays well, the Pats will likely completely tear up his old deal and give him a new one. Or let him walk again.Per Tom Pellisaro, Chargers paying “a majority” of Jackson’s salary
Well, in that case, no brainer. I mean why not?Per Tom Pellisaro, Chargers paying “a majority” of Jackson’s salary
Good to hear. I think at over $9M, there's a legit question about whether that money would be better spent in the offseason. If Chargers are picking up most of the tab then it does indeed fall into the no-brainer category for me.Per Tom Pellisaro, Chargers paying “a majority” of Jackson’s salary
He is but I also think the initial reporting was that it was closer to a 2 month recovery. I could be wrong.Isn't Jack Jones eligible to come off IR this week?
The Chargers restructured this year's contract. They converted all but $1.5 million to a signing bonus and the Pats are paying the $1.5 million.If a player (like JC) has a $9Milion cap hit, but the LAC are paying for some portion (let's say 2/3), does the cap hit for that 2/3 remain with LAC or does it go to the Pats (who simply receive cash to offset their spending)?
Yes, I think people should be prepared for the very real possibility Jackson is cooked. He’s had a couple of pretty severe injuries since he left with his knee and foot.He's still recovering from a torn meniscus, but it's a $1.5 million tryout for the rest of the year.
Yeah, definitely a no brainer. Now do RT !Absolute no-brainer. I mean, the guy was fantastic with the patriots in his first go round. Obviously, he has not done well with the chargers, but we have seen guys come back to the patriots and be really good again. And yes they are a little bit desperate, otherwise moves like this are not necessary. But if he returns to form, having three corners like him and the Jones boys makes for actually a really good secondary. It allows them to remain highly competitive defensively, even without Gonzalez. Replacing Judon, however, is a different story.
Oh I think he's definitely cooked IMO, but a cooked Jackson is still better than Bryant, and then they just cut him at the end of the year.Yes, I think people should be prepared for the very real possibility Jackson is cooked. He’s had a couple of pretty severe injuries since he left with his knee and foot.
Yes, this is the most likely outcome. He has been a "healthy" scratch this year already I believe, and his injuries were substantial.Yes, I think people should be prepared for the very real possibility Jackson is cooked. He’s had a couple of pretty severe injuries since he left with his knee and foot.
I think that’s the point of the move though, they just need the needle to stop moving down right now.I'm fine with this move, but at the same time, it doesn't really move the needle for me.
It's not really supposed to move the needle. It's supposed to help keep the defense afloat in the midst of two massive injuries.I'm fine with this move, but at the same time, it doesn't really move the needle for me.
To what end? So the Pats win 7 games instead of 5?It's not really supposed to move the needle. It's supposed to help keep the defense afloat in the midst of two massive injuries.
