Trade Details
MICHAEL JACKSON JETTISONED TO NEW ENGLAND Sunday, August 9, 2020
The New England Patriots acquired cornerback Michael Jackson from the Detroit Lions for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2022.
What does it give the New England Patriots?
Nobody turns water into wine better than Bill Belichick, so perhaps the legendary coach can get more out of Jackson's talent than what the latter has displayed so far in his NFL career.
What does it give the Detroit Lions?
The Lions were about to release Jackson, so they wound up trading him to New England for very minimal gain. Jackson appeared in just one game with Detroit last season.
Fantasy Impact
There is nothing to see here. Jackson is not an option for fantasy leaguers in IDP leagues.
