|SF2| Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 The Bengals have exercised their fifth-year option on cornerback William Jackson, according to a team announcement. The additional year keeps him under control through 2020, though it is guaranteed for injury only. Chosen with the No. 24 overall pick in 2016, Jackson missed his entire rookie year due to injury. In his re-do year, he mostly served as a backup. However, he started in all 16 of the Bengals’ games last year and tallied 41 tackles. For his work, Pro Football Focus ranked him as the 26th best cornerback in the entire NFL, despite the fact that he did not record a single interception. Jackson is just the latest 2016 first-round pick to have his fifth-year option exercised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say this is a prove it year for Jackson, he has to make more big plays in order to get an extension, imo. If he doesn't make an interception or 4 this year he's not going to have a big FA market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I'm fine with having a shutdown corner that doesn't get INTs. I always figure that if they could catch worth a damn they'd be on offense. INTs usually come from rushed QB's in desperate situations. We didn't create many of those last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OU_Stripes Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 CBs who get a ton of INTs are often just bad players who get targeted more often. Nnamdi Asomugha was a good example at his peak -- low INT numbers because QBs never threw the ball in his direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothD Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Since that pick 6 against Aaron Rodgers, and his shutting down of Antonio Brown, teams have been very reluctant to throw his way. His greatest assets are tight man to man coverage, and his closing speed after being beat. It will be interesting to see how he handles ODB this upcoming season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
