Buffalo, N.Y. (WGR Sports Radio 550) - The Buffalo Bills announced two more depth signings in free agency on Friday, with one of those names being a familiar face to the secondary.
The Bills have signed cornerback Dane Jackson and guard Kendrick Green to one-year contracts. The signing of Jackson was first reported by NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo.
Jackson was a former seventh-round pick (239th overall) by the Bills in the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Pittsburgh.
In his four seasons in Buffalo, Jackson was a serviceable depth piece at cornerback, where he played 52 games, making 28 starts and recording 152 total tackles, two tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, 28 passes defended and three interceptions.
During the offseason last year, Jackson elected to sign with the Carolina Panthers as a free agent, but only played nine games, recording 23 total tackles and defending a pair of passes.
The Panthers released Jackson last month.
Jackson now re-joins the Bills' cornerbacks room that already consists of Christian Benford, Ja'Marcus Ingram, Taron Johnson and Daequon Hardy.
