Report: Panthers parting ways with CB Donte Jackson

The Carolina Panthers are expected to release or trade veteran cornerback Donte Jackson, ESPN reported Monday.

Jackson, 28, has a $4 million roster bonus due March 16. His release would save $5.9 million against the salary cap.

He made 16 starts in 2023 and recorded 59 tackles, five passes defensed and one forced fumble.

The 2018 second-round pick has 14 interceptions and 303 tackles in 80 games (76 starts) for the Panthers.

Jackson is heading into the final season of a three-year, $35.2 million extension signed in March 2022.
