  "account": "The Carolina Panthers are considering trading for former cornerback Donte Jackson, currently playing for the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Bleacher Report. The injury woes continue to plague the Panthers, with second-year defensive tackle Cam Jackson set to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery and cornerback Mike Jackson sidelined for at least a month due to a groin injury. Cornerback Jaycee Horn may be out for the entire season following a significant quad injury. Jackson, a second-round pick of the Panthers in 2018, spent six seasons with the team before being traded to the Steelers in 2024. Despite a decline in his performance, Jackson still managed to record nine interceptions and 20 pass breakups in 2024 and 2025. With Los Angeles currently sitting at 0-5 and facing numerous injuries, trading for Jackson would save the Chargers $6 million in 2026 cap space. Jackson's ball skills remain intact, and he has not given up a touchdown so far this season, allowing an impressive 89.6 passer rating. The Panthers are left with limited options for finding quality free-agent cornerbacks, making Jackson a potential trade suitor worth considering.",
