Panthers Release Dane Jackson
1 min agoThe Carolina Panthers released veteran cornerback Dane Jackson on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jackson signed with the Panthers last spring after spending four years with the Buffalo Bills. It's pretty much a no-brainer move for the Panthers to save a little bit of salary cap space in 2025 after Jackson played in only nine games (three starts) in his lone season in Carolina. In those nine contests, the 28-year-old had just 23 tackles (15 solo), one tackle for loss and two pass breakups. He could have a decent market in free agency and will get a head start, but the Panthers are choosing to go a bit younger in the secondary. Jackson was selected in the seventh round by the Bills in 2020 out of Pittsburgh. In his four seasons with the Bills, Jackson accumulated 152 tackles (129 solo), three interceptions, 28 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 52 games (28 starts).
