Former Bengals CB William Jackson demands trade off Commanders
Former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback William Jackson has demanded a trade off the Washington Commanders.
That might inspire a bit of deja vu for Bengals fans. Jackson, the team’s 24th overall pick in 2016, remained in town through the 2020 season before leaving the team and taking shots at fans on his way out the door.
Washington removed Jackson from a game early last week, though he had been dealing with a back injury leading up to the game. His reps later issued a statement that he’d like to find a better team fit.
Last year over 12 games, Jackson allowed 31 catches on 53 targets with two interceptions for a 59.3 PFF grade. He’s allowed 16 on 19 at a 49.6 grade this year.
The trade deadline is November 1, so it’s safe to presume he’ll find a new team by then — but we can safely rule out Cincinnati.
