Dane Jackson, a former seventh-round pick by the Buffalo Bills, finds himself on the free-agent market yet again after being released by the Carolina Panthers. With the Bills facing a vacancy at cornerback, a reunion seems plausible. Last season, Jackson struggled with injuries after signing a two-year, $8.5 million deal but previously established himself as a starter in Buffalo's defense. His familiarity with the team and the defensive system could make him a valuable asset for depth, especially given the challenges faced by first-round pick Kaiir Elam.
Jackson's last two seasons in Buffalo saw him make 20 starts, amassing three interceptions and 28 passes defensed. As the Bills look to bolster their secondary, bringing back Jackson could not only fill the immediate need but also provide a reliable backup option as they navigate free agency and potential losses on the defensive front.
