Cornerback Adoree Jackson has reached a one-year contract agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a source familiar with the situation. The team has yet to officially announce the signing, leading the source to remain anonymous on the matter.
Jackson, who entered the NFL as a first-round draft pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2017, has spent the last four seasons playing for the New York Giants. Throughout his professional career, Jackson has started in a total of 82 games, five of which were during last season.
This move comes as the Eagles aim to bolster their defensive backfield following the recent departure of Darius Slay. With Jackson joining the roster, he will bring valuable experience and depth to the team’s defense. The Eagles also have Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, both of whom impressed with their performances during their rookie seasons, as part of their starting cornerbacks.
