The Carolina to Buffalo pipeline is finally running in reverse
The Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms with former Buffalo Bills cornerback Dane Jackson. Apparently, the secondary felt naked without a D Jax back there.

Update: The deal is for two years and up to $14.5 million, per Tom Pelissero. That indicates the team views him as a direct replacement for Donte Jackson.

Jackson was a 2020 7th round pick by the Buffalo Bills, when general manager Dan Morgan was their Director of Player Personnel.
He has started 28 games out of his 52 with the Bills since his rookie season. He has recorded 152 tackles, three interceptions, two forced fumbles, and 28 passes defensed. He is viewed as a reliable corner who can play both sides of the field. He is certainly an upgrade over C.J. Henderson, and the Panthers may even see him as an upgrade over the recently departed Jackson
