Two-time Pro-Bowl safety Eddie Jackson agreed to a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens, ESPN reported on Friday.
Financial terms were not disclosed for Jackson, who played at Alabama with Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey and running back Derrick Henry. Jackson will provide depth to a safety room that features Marcus Williams and Kyle Hamilton, among others.
Jackson, 30, was released by the Chicago Bears in February after seven seasons with the team, although his last two campaigns have been hampered by foot injuries.
Jackson recorded 37 tackles and one interception in 12 games (all starts) last season. He racked up 459 tackles, 15 interceptions, 10 forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries in 100 career games (all starts) since being selected by the Bears in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
Named first-team All-Pro in 2018 and to the Pro Bowl in 2018 and 2019, Jackson’s six defensive touchdowns tied him with Lance Briggs for third in Bears history, behind only Charles Tillman (nine) and Mike Brown (seven).
