The Baltimore Ravens have signed two-time Pro Bowl safety Eddie Jackson to a one-year deal, the team announced Friday.
Jackson was released Feb. 15 by the Chicago Bears in a move to free up salary cap space. He was a fourth round pick in 2017 and started all 100 games he appeared in over his seven seasons in Chicago. Jackson was a two-time Pro Bowler and earned All-Pro honors in 2018 on the Bears defense that led the team to the playoffs, winning the NFC North.
Injuries have cut Jackson’s seasons short each of the last three years. He still managed to play in at least 12 games a year from 2021-22.
Jackson, 30, has totaled 15 interceptions, 44 passes defended, 10 forced fumbles and 459 tackles in his career. He is tied for third in Bears franchise history with six career defensive touchdowns, five of which came in his first two seasons.
Last season, Jackson had an interception and 37 tackles in 12 games. He now joins a safety corps that includes Kyle Hamilton, a first-team All-Pro last season, and veteran Marcus Williams.
