Solid trade all around, Micheal Barrett was a likely cut candidate. Micheal Jackson fills one of our biggest needs at CB. 9/10 trade!

Any good?

Weird... the other thread disappeared.

For those that didn't get a chance to catch up: Mike Macdonald has history with Michael Barrett from his time as the Michigan DC. Seattle is currently deep at CB but has injuries at WLB and need somebody that can play ST. Jackson was the 26th ranked CB out of 229 according to PFF grades last year. Panthers were able to swap a 7th round rookie that had never played in a regular season game for a guy with 5yrs in the league.

Not bad.

They deleted the wrong thread.  Shoot the imposter, not the real one.

Pretty good return on a 7th round selection.  Hard to complain.

It's worth mentioning that with Dane Jackson out for at least the first 2 - 4wks (making him a potential PUP candidate), Lamar Jackson + Anthony Brown leaving the Jets game with injuries, and after getting a cpl of days to look at Chris Wilcox + Willie Drew that the team still wanted a veteran presence opposite of Horn that will execute within the defense.

6'1" 210lbs CB. Looks like we're going to lean on secondary players with good size which makes sense given Evero's scheme. Disguising coverages with big bodied DBs has got to be stressful for QBs and receivers alike.

This is the Cane CB, right?

He's definitely a smooth criminal. Seattle got robbed in this one.

As long as your last name is Jackson, you are eligible to try out for the Panthers CB position. Donte Jackson, Dane Jackson, Lamar Jackson, come on down Michael Jackson!!
