Carolina Panthers — Donte Jackson
Base Salary: $1,080,000
The uber-athletic CB Donte Jackson hasn’t exactly lived up to his lofty draft status. Formerly a first-round pick, Jackson has endured five lackluster, injury-riddled years in Carolina. While he’s collected a fair amount of interceptions (14) over his career, Jackson’s stature has often made him a target in the run game. Additionally, he hasn’t developed into the type of lockdown corner who can shut down one side of the field. While his base salary remains low for ’23, he comes with a near $7.5 million cap hit — fifth-highest on the team. He is set to miss the start of next season nursing a torn Achilles.
