During a time of year where holdouts are common, it’s a breath of fresh air to see someone like Jackson be all business when it comes to showing up for camp.
“I play football,” Jackson said in a recent presser. “That’s what I’m here for.”
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for guys securing the bag. If a holdout is necessary, do it. Get your money.
But I have equal respect for a player who bets on himself. Jackson isn’t worried about playing on his fifth-year option in 2022. He knows his payday is coming. Let the play do the negotiating.
