Eagles Sign Adoree' Jackson After Releasing Key Players

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed veteran cornerback Adoree' Jackson to a one-year deal to bolster their secondary following the departure of Darius Slay, who joined the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson, who previously played for the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans, brings eight years of NFL experience to the Eagles. He appeared in 14 games last season, recording 28 tackles and five pass breakups, and is expected to compete for a starting position with the Eagles. This move comes after the Eagles released both Slay and James Bradberry, as part of efforts to manage their salary cap and maintain a strong defensive lineup following their Super Bowl win. Jackson had been previously targeted by the Eagles in 2021, but chose to sign with the Giants at that time. His addition is seen as crucial to reinforcing Philadelphia's defense alongside promising rookies Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.
