Cornerback Donte Jackson is set to move to the West Coast, securing a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers reportedly worth $13 million. This information was disclosed by an individual familiar with the situation who requested to remain anonymous since official signing of free agents is only permissible starting Wednesday.
Jackson comes off a strong season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he made an impression by starting in 15 games and notching five interceptions. Prior to his stint in Pittsburgh, Jackson made a name for himself as a reliable full-time starter over six seasons with the Carolina Panthers.
Jackson’s addition to the Chargers’ roster is seen as a strategic move to reinforce their defensive lineup, bringing seasoned experience and a proven track record in interceptions to the team’s secondary. The Chargers are looking to make significant improvements on the field, and Jackson’s capabilities could be crucial in achieving their goals in the upcoming season.
