Former Houston Texans defenseman, Kareem Jackson, plans to sign a $ 33 million, three-year deal with the Denver Broncos, which includes a $ 23 million guarantee. said a source to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The news of an agreement was first reported by 9 News in Denver.
Jackson, 30, has just finished his best season in nine years in the NFL, having been selected in the first round (20th overall) of the 2010 draft.
In 2018, Jackson had 87 tackles, a career-high, as well as two interceptions, one sack, two forced fumbles and a breakaway. According to Pro Football Focus, Jackson is ranked fourth in the NFL among cornerbacks in 2018.
Prior to last season, the Texans had moved Jackson from the corner corner – where he had played his first eight seasons in the NFL – safely. While Jackson excelled at his new position early in the season, he eventually returned to the cornerback because of injuries sustained in high school.
After the season, Jackson said that he "would love to be back" and would eventually finish his career with the Texans.
For his career, Jackson, who started 124 regular season games and eight playoff games, has 559 tackles, 16 interceptions, two sacks, five forced fumbles and three digs.
