The New York Giants made their second big move in three days when they agreed to a deal with former Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree ‘Jackson, according to sources.
The deal is three years and $ 39 million, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN, and includes $ 26.5 million in guarantees and more than $ 20 million fully guaranteed.
The Giants also signed a $ 72 million four-year deal with broad receiver Kenny Golladay over the weekend.
Jackson, 25, was recently released by the Titans. He was in high demand with the Philadelphia Eagles in the mix until the final moments, according to a source. Jackson is due to visit the Eagles after the Giants on Monday.
New York now adds Jackson to a defense that already had Pro Bowl cornerback James Bradberry on one side. The hope is that the fast Jackson will be the ideal complement for the longest and most physical Bradberry.
Jackson also brings versatility with the possibility of playing the slot machine and serving as a returner.
The Titans drafted Jackson in 18th overall in the 2017 draft. Tennessee chose his fifth year option last year, but dismissed him on Tuesday, the day before his $ 10.244 million salary for the 2021 season was fully guaranteed in the start of the new year of the league.
He started in 41 of 46 games with Tennessee, but a knee injury just before the start of last season limited him to three games in 2020.
