The New York Giants made their second big move in three days, when they agreed to pact with former Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree ‘Jackson, according to sources.
The deal is for three years and $ 39 million, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, which includes $ 26.5 million in guarantees and more than $ 20 million fully guaranteed.
The Giants also hired great receiver Kenny Golladay for a four-year, $ 72 million deal over the weekend.
Jackson, 25, was recently launched by the Titans. According to one source, he had a lot of demand with the Philadelphia Eagles in the mix until the final moments. Jackson was scheduled to visit the Eagles after the Giants on Monday.
Now New York is adding Jackson to a defense that already had Pro Bowl corner James Bradberry on one side. The hope is that the fast Jackson will be the ideal complement to the longer and more physical Bradberry.
Jackson also brings versatility with the ability to play in the slot and serve as a return.
The Titans drafted Jackson in 18th overall position in the 2017 draft. Tennessee had picked up his fifth-year pick last year, but released him last Tuesday, a day before his $ 10,244 million salary of dollars for the 2021 season is fully guaranteed with the start of the new league year.
He started 41 of 46 games with Tennessee, but a knee injury just before he started last season limited him to three games in 2020.
