Jackson signed with the Commanders last offseason on a three-year, $42 million contract. He’s earned a career-low 49.6 PFF grade so far this season after earning a 59.3-grade last year.
Per the report, Jackson has been disappointed with his role on defense and would like to be more of a man-to-man corner instead of having to play in more zone coverage.
Coach Ron Rivera pulled Jackson from Sunday’s game and said afterward, “We just decided to make a change. We make decisions based on the flow of the game.”
Jackson did not travel with the team for Thursday night’s game against the Chicago Bears due to a back injury.
The NFL trade deadline is on November 1st.
