The Panthers and the 49ers have developed a little bit of history as trade partners. Last season, their big addition was Christian McCaffrey, but they also traded for kicker Zane Gonzalez this spring.
So when Joe Person of The Athletic reported that the Panthers have reached out to teams to gauge interest in Donte Jackson, it's something that should pique the interest of Niners fans. Jackson has struggled with injuries throughout his career, but when healthy he has shown the ability to be an asset in coverage.
Jackson is giving up a passer rating of 157.1 this year, but he was much better last season and the two seasons before that. Given the general woes of the Panthers' defense and their winless record, Jackson's play might get better playing on a team that's trying to win a championship.
