.With the workings of the 2022 NFL Draft class shifting a greater emphasis towards acquiring high-tier wide receivers, it appears passing remains the priority. In the same vein, rumors circulated about a certain player coming free, that could very much help the Las Vegas Raiders.

No, Not Him
Although he could be of assistance, this player is not Amari Cooper (who has expressed displeasure regarding his time with the Raiders), but this player could be lining up against him in 2022. During his 2021 season with the New England Patriots, J.C. Jackson recorded 8 interceptions (2nd in NFL) and recorded 23 passes defended (1st in NFL) and is not expected to be franchise tagged by the Patriots, making him a free agent.

Corner The Market
Considering the Raiders did not express significant interest in going after a big-name wide receiver during free agency, Jackson could soar to the top of their priority list. The bidding war for Jackson should stay high, as many projected to claim the title of highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. But, should the Raiders be content to aim lower in their quest for a team-leading wide receiver, their eyes should be fixed on Jackson.
Foxborough Link
Whether it be a rookie receiver in the late first (Watson/Olave) or sifting through the free agents to find that Chris Conley recorded a quicker 40-yard dash than both aforementioned rookies, there are many opportunities for the Raiders to fill two spots on a less extravagant budget. Regardless of their direction, signing J.C. Jackson could help new head coach Josh McDaniels make his first major splash as Raiders head coach. Additionally, it opens the possibility of the Raiders boosting their below-average takeaway count.
Lack Of Production
Last season, the Raiders finished with a turnover differential of -9 after forcing a meager 6 interceptions. Jackson alone recorded two more than the entire Raiders roster. In comparison, the Patriots finished +7 with 23 total interceptions. If the Raiders the playoffs with the sixth-worst turnover differential in the NFL, Jackson could turn that around.
Ballhawk With Vision
Although interception totals remain relatively difficult to repeat, Jackson’s film proves his ability to read quarterbacks. At age 26, Jackson still has the youth for a longer termed contract. As a result, that could not only benefit the team long-term as well but also provide guidance to the corners learning under him. To make the next jump as a team, the Raiders must, at some point, spend big on a free agent. While many are drawn to acquiring Derek Carr a top-tier target, bolstering the other side of the ball is just as important. Moreover, JC Jackson should be valued on the same level as a Davante Adams.
