The New England Patriots have agreed to a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers for cornerback J.C. Jackson, according to sources.
The Patriots are sending a 2025 sixth-round pick to the Chargers, who will send Jackson and a 2025 seventh-round pick to New England.
The two teams are also reworking Jackson\'s remaining $9.33 million salary for 2023, with New England covering around $1.5 million and the Chargers covering the rest in a signing bonus, according to a report.
Jackson\'s contract, which runs through the 2026 season, stays intact otherwise.
The Patriots were in need of a cornerback after rookie Christian Gonzalez suffered a shoulder injury in Week 4.
