Adoree’ Jackson has spent the past five years in the NFC East, and he may remain in the division for 2026. The veteran corner has lined up his first known visit of the offseason.
Jackson is set to visit the Cowboys today, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports. Dallas has already taken the free agent route to make a pair of veteran CB additions this spring, bringing in ex-Rams Cobie Durant and Derion Kendrick. The team then added fourth-rounder Devin Moore during the draft, but with over $8MM in cap space another low-cost move could be in store.
New Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker coached Jackson last season with the Eagles. As Philadelphia’s secondary coach, Parker oversaw Jackson’s age-30 season. That included 10 starts and a 63% snap share on defense. Jackson has made 76 career starts during his nine-year career.
The Eagles’ boundary cornerback position opposite Quinyon Mitchell was an issue last season, as both Mitchell and slot ace Cooper DeJean earned first-team All-Pro acclaim. Pro Football Focus graded Jackson 92nd among CB regulars in 2025. Although the Eagles traded for Michael Carter and Jaire Alexander last season, the latter did not end up playing a down for Philly. Jackson continued to work as a regular following the trades, and he started the Eagles’ wild-card game after retaining a heavy role down the stretch.
A former Titans first-round pick, Jackson has played in the NFC East since 2021. Tennessee not exercising the 5-foot-11 cover man’s fifth-year option led to a three-year, $39MM Giants contract. He worked alongside future Eagle James Bradberry in 2021 and became the Giants’ No. 1 corner a year later, as GM Joe Schoen made Bradberry a cap casualty. Jackson helped the Giants make a surprise divisional-round run, though he missed time due to injury, and helped the Giants contain Justin Jefferson in their wild-card upset.
After Jackson played out his contract in 2023, the Giants attempted to go in a younger direction at corner. But they were not ultimately satisfied with the results and re-signed the veteran just before the 2024 season. Jackson only started five games that year but ended up being the preferred Eagles option opposite Mitchell over Kelee Ringo last year. Jackson played for just $1.75MM in 2024 and $1.76MM in ’25.
The Cowboys return the recently extended DaRon Bland at corner and used a third-round pick on Shavon Revel in 2025. The team missed both for extensive portions of last season, with Bland suffering another injury and Revel making a late debut due to his 2024 ACL tear. Parker will see what he has in Durant and Kendrick soon, and Jackson could fit into the puzzle — likely at a low rate, if a deal is to happen — after this mid-offseason meeting.
