49ers Part Ways with Defensive End Drake Jackson
May 9, 2025 - 22:30
Defensive end Drake Jackson won't be with the 49ers when they move into the next stage of their offseason work. The team has decided to waive the young defensive player, marking a significant change in their roster as they prepare for the upcoming season. Jackson, who was drafted in the second round in 2022, showed promise during his time with the team but struggled to make a consistent impact on the field.
The decision to waive Jackson comes as the 49ers look to refine their defensive lineup and make room for new talent. As they focus on strengthening their roster, the team is expected to explore various options in free agency and the draft to enhance their defensive capabilities. Jackson's departure opens the door for other players to step up and compete for a spot on the active roster. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the team adjusts and what this means for their defensive strategy moving forward.
