Star cornerback J.C. Jackson is headed to the Los Angeles Chargers after reportedly agreeing to a massive contract Monday.
Jackson reportedly agreed to terms on a five-year, $82.5 million contract with $40 million guaranteed. While Patriots fans are distraught, his former teammates are thrilled for Jackson, well, at least for the most part.
Adrian Philips reacted quickly to the news, saying: “Hell yea JC!!!!!! Much deserved!!! #elite”
After some time to reflect, Philips had more of a bittersweet feeling about the departure of his former teammate, posting a hilarious video of a man crying while saying “congratulations,” and captioning the tweet with “How I’m feeling since I won’t be playing with my dawg but happy he got that CHECK.”
The Patriots will have to find their replacement during the remaining free agency period or in the 2022 NFL Draft.
