Giants, Adoree' Jackson agree to reported 3-year, $39M deal
The New York Giants aren't done adding.
Former Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree' Jackson agreed to join New York on Monday, the team announced.
The deal is for three years and $39 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, and it's reportedly worth up to $44.5 million, including $26.5 million guaranteed.
The Titans surprisingly released Jackson last week. Tennessee had previously exercised the fifth-year option on the 25-year-old's rookie contract.
The former first-rounder appeared in just three games during the 2020 regular season due to a knee injury but previously played 43 games (39 starts) through his first three NFL campaigns.
Jackson has averaged 69 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and one interception per 16 games since entering the league as the 18th overall pick in 2017.
The USC product is the latest addition in a busy offseason for the Giants.

Jackson presumably will be New York's No. 2 corner behind James Bradberry.
The Giants' secondary also includes versatile defensive back Logan Ryan, former first-round safety Jabrill Peppers, and 2020 second-rounder Xavier McKinney.
New York's defensive backfield struggled last year, allowing a 67% completion rate and a 93.2 passer rating to opposing quarterbacks.
