Jackson last played for the Browns in 2021, where he started 16 games while totaling a half-sack. A Pro Bowler in 2017 with the Jaguars, Jackson has 35.5 career sacks to his name to go with four fumble recoveries and was a strong interior pass rusher early in his career. He helped anchor a Broncos defensive line in 2015 during their Super Bowl run and was also a part of the 2017 Jaguars team that made a surprise appearance in the AFC Championship Game with Blake Bortles at the helm. A former fifth-round pick from the 2012 class, Jackson played well above his draft capital to carve out a solid career.

Jackson returned to the field last year following a season-ending broken foot in 2019 and contributed 28 total tackles and 2.5 sacks across 538 (49%) defensive snaps for Philadelphia. Cleveland is Jackson's, 31, third team in the last four seasons, and the fourth for his career. He'll slide in as a rotational player on passing downs.

Jackson, 31, spent two years in Philly, missing all but one game in 2019 with a broken foot before returning to appear in 15 contests last season. We assume the Eagles are designating Jackson as a post-June 1 cut, clearing $2 million against the cap while eating $3.611 million in dead money. Jackson will be looking for his fourth team.

Jackson sustained a Lisfranc foot injury in Week 1 and was subsequently placed on IR. At this rate, he appears on track for most, if not all, of the offseason program, and he should be full-go by training camp. Jackson's late full season was in 2018, when he accrued 32 tackles and 3.5 sacks through 16 games with the Jaguars.
