Eagles poach former Saquon Barkley teammate from Giants

Adoree’ Jackson remained in free agency until days before the Giants’ opener last year; he will land a deal much earlier in 2025. Jackson will follow the Saquon Barkley path out of New York.

The Eagles will sign the former first-round cornerback, Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports. The former Titans and Giants starter will join an Eagles team that cut Darius Slay and lost Isaiah Rodgers to the Vikings.

After making the plan to designate Slay a post-June 1 cut, the Eagles had hoped to retain Rodgers. The Vikings intervened, giving the one-year Eagle contributor a two-year, $11M deal. Jackson likely will step in at a lower rate while bringing more experience. Jackson, who is going into his age-30 season, has made 82 starts — 41 apiece in Tennessee and New York.

The CB market unfolded without a Jackson accord last spring, and he ended up on a one-year, $1.75M deal to stay with the Giants. After four Titans seasons, Jackson had initially played out a three-year, $39M Giants contract. As New York aimed to go young in the secondary last year, Jackson still arrived as 11th-hour insurance. He ended up starting five games for the 3-14 team.

Playing 47% of the Giants’ defensive snaps last year, Jackson fared well considering his late arrival. Pro Football Focus graded him 38th among CB regulars, and Pro-Football-Reference’s coverage metrics charged Jackson with a 48.8 completion percentage allowed — far better than his 2023 showing (65.9). Jackson struggled in 2023, after having been reassigned to the slot in training camp before being shifted back to his usual perimeter role once Don Martindale benched Tre Hawkins, but was a key part of the Giants’ playoff trip in 2022. Allowing just 51.7% of passes his way to be completed, Jackson graded as PFF’s No. 31 corner. He missed time due to an MCL sprain but returned for the playoffs and led the effort to limit Justin Jefferson in a Giants wild-card upset.

Jackson figures to be a Rodgers replacement as a depth piece, but the Eagles have a need on the boundary (to accompany locked-in starters Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean) after Slay’s Steelers signing. Jackson could compete for that role, but it would surprise if Philly did not add a starter-caliber option in the draft or perhaps via trade. While Jackson may not be the Slay replacement, the Super Bowl champs at least secured some insurance.
