Jackson's ranking at 69 in the 2026 NFL Top 100 is viewed as too low by Garofalo; he remains a special player and is excited about the Declan Doyle offense, which could boost his ranking.

Contract negotiations are ongoing with a tight circle involving only Jackson, GM Eric DaCosta, and contract negotiator Nick Matteo.
