Jets re-sign Bennett Jackson

Mf1GjoA6H453
After their bombshell trade with Carolina, Michael Holley and Michael Smith debate whether this is really a new era for the Jets and whether Sam Darnold will be better off with the Panthers.

The Jets have re-signed safety Bennett Jackson, the team announced Thursday.

Jackson appeared in four games in 2020 and took 48 special teams snaps before he was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

The Jets claimed Jackson off waivers in September 2019, and he has spent the past two seasons on and off the Jets’ active roster. He also had a brief stint with the Ravens during the 2019 season before returning to the Jets that December.

Jackson originally entered the NFL as a sixth-round choice of the Giants in 2014. He played two seasons with the Giants before two seasons with the Ravens.

Jackson has appeared in 10 career games, totaling seven tackles.
