“We are pleased to announce the signing of inside linebacker D’Qwell Jackson,” general manager Ryan Grigson said in a statement. “He is a team-first guy that has been a very consistent producer on the field. The tempo, energy and determination he plays with are right up there with the best in this league. He brings a welcomed element of experience and natural leadership to our team and we are excited to add him to the strong nucleus of linebackers we currently have on our roster.”
His other visits included the MIami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos.
