Chargers' JaQuae Jackson: Signs futures deal with Chargers
Rotowire
The Chargers signed Jackson to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday.
Jackson will be a member of the Chargers' 90-man roster once the NFL offseason officially begins Feb. 9, which gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp. He was a member of the Chargers' practice squad for the entire 2025 season after he was unable to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Jackson has yet to appear in a regular-season game since entering the league in April of 2024 as an undrafted free agent.

Chargers' JaQuae Jackson: Bolts to Los Angeles
Rotowire
The Chargers signed Jackson to a contract Friday.
Jackson had a solid chance to make the Patriots' 53-man roster in 2024 before suffering a season-ending, non-contact knee injury during New England's second preseason game last August. He was let go by the Patriots in April, and while he wasn't able to catch on with a team during the offseason, he'll now have the opportunity to audition his talents with the Chargers. He faces an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster, but a strong showing in practices and preseason games could earn Jackson a spot on the practice squad.

Patriots' JaQuae Jackson: Staying in New England
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) agreed to a contract with the Patriots on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
After going undrafted out of Rutgers last spring, Jackson initially signed with the Falcons before being cut in June and then catching on with New England. Though the wideout impressed New England's coaching staff during training camp, his hopes of making the 53-man roster ended after he suffered a non-contact knee injury during the Patriots' second preseason game. Jackson spent the entire season on injured reserve, but the 25-year-old will be brought back in the fold for 2025 and could get a chance to compete for a roster spot once again this spring and summer.
