NFC North news: Lions trade CB to Patriots

This marked the sixth trade between the two teams since 2016.

The weird relationship between Matt Patricia, the Lions and the Patriots continued on Sunday as the Lions traded cornerback Michael Jackson for a 2022 draft pick.

This is the sixth trade (SIX!) between the Lions and Patriots since 2016.

Jackson, who attended college at Miami, played in just one game for the Lions last season as a rookie after being drafted in the fifth round by the Cowboys.

In four years at Miami, Jackson had four interceptions. He was Second-Team All-ACC in 2017.
