Details of CB J.C. Jackson’s contract with Chargers

On Monday, the Chargers landed the big fish in the pond in cornerback J.C. Jackson. Arguably the top free agent on the market, Jackson earned every penny given to him.

Jackson’s contract is a five-year deal worth $82.5 million, including a $25 million signing bonus and $40 million in guarantees. His 2022 ($3 million) and 2023 ($12 million) salaries are fully guaranteed.

With the $25 million signing bonus prorated over five years, his cap hit in 2022 will be $8 million and $17 million in 2023.

At $16.5 mil average per year (APY), it makes Jackson tied for sixth among cornerbacks with Dolphins’ Byron Jones.

For a premier corner like Jackson, this ended up being a heck of a deal by general manager Tom Telesco and company. It should leave Los Angeles plenty of spendings to address the offensive and defensive line.
