The Buffalo Bills have solidified their cornerback depth by re-signing Dane Jackson on a one-year deal during the 2025 NFL free agency period. Drafted in the seventh round in 2020, Jackson spent the first four seasons with the Bills but had a less successful stint with the Carolina Panthers after signing a two-year contract last offseason. His performance waned, resulting in only nine games played in 2024 and ultimately his release.

Jackson's return comes at a crucial time as the Bills adjust their secondary, following the ascension of Christian Benford to the No. 1 cornerback position. With previous first-round pick Kaiir Elam traded, Jackson has the opportunity to reclaim a significant role in Buffalo’s defense, especially with Rasul Douglas still on the free-agent market.
