The Dallas Cowboys are looking to shore up their secondary before the 2026-27 season gets underway.

According to NFL insider Jordan Shultz, the Cowboys have expressed interest in a former Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Giants starting cornerback who’s appeared in 111 games in his career.

“Sources: The Cowboys are hosting veteran CB Adoree’ Jackson on a free agent visit today,” Shultz reported on X/Twitter Tuesday.

“Jackson was with the Eagles last year, where he started 10 games — recording 55 tackles, 11 PBUs, and 1 INT. His DBs coach there was Christian Parker, who is now the Cowboys' DC.”

It would be challenging to argue that Jackson deserves another opportunity with the Eagles. The former first round pick was constantly picked up by opposing quarterbacks due to his poor footwork, undisciplined coverage approach and lackluster ball-hunting chops.
