The Los Angeles Chargers and free-agent cornerback Donte Jackson have agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
The Pittsburgh Steelers landed Jackson, 29, as part of the Diontae Johnson trade with the Carolina Panthers before the 2024 season.
Jackson was an immediate contributor on defense, racking up five interceptions -- including three in the first six weeks -- and a fumble recovery in 15 regular-season starts.
He missed two of the final three games with a lingering back issue and played just 30% of the defensive snaps in a Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Jackson spent the first six years of his career with the Panthers. A second-round pick out of LSU in the 2018 NFL draft, he had 14 interceptions with Carolina, including a pick-six in 2022.
For his career, Jackson has 341 combined tackles, one sack, three forced fumbles and 19 interceptions.
