The New England Patriots have released cornerback J.C. Jackson, a move that was anticipated due to financial considerations and clears over $14.4 million in cap space for the team, with no dead money involved. Jackson, who was traded to the Patriots last season and is a former Pro Bowl player, was due $14.375 million this year, with $2 million due on March 15. However, there were no guaranteed amounts, leaving behind $0 in dead cap money. The release of Jackson, following a year in which he couldn't fully recover from a torn patellar tendon, now positions the Patriots with over $100 million in salary cap space as they enter this offseason. This amount is the most in the NFL and provides the team with significant resources to enhance their roster, including the 3rd pick in the upcoming draft.
