- Cowboys Rumor: Eagles Ex CB Adoree Jackson Signing Planned?
FRISCO - We are way beyond the early "tiers'' of NFL free agency.
But the Dallas Cowboys - in this case clearly driven by the desires of new defensive coordinator Christian Parker - are not done exploring help.

The Cowboys continue to work to remodel their entire secondary, with the latest rumor coming with a Philadelphia Eagles flavor.
Back before training camp, Dallas hosted cornerback Adoree Jackson at The Star on in a free agency visit.
And on Sunday night, on the heels of the Cowboys' signing another vet in Von Miller ? The Jackson story surfaced once again, with a rumor that Dallas may pursuit the signing of the Philly ex.
Jackson spent the 2025 season with the Eagles, where he started 10 games while working in combination with young stars Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean . The veteran defensive back, now 30, recorded 55 tackles, 11 pass breakups and one interception while playing an important role in a Philadelphia secondary coached by Parker, who made the move to Dallas this offseason.

He made just $1.7 million on his one-year deal in Philly, so affordability figures here, too.
Von Miller Speaks Out; Why Cowboys 'Special' Signing Is The Right Move
The 5-11, 185-pound Jackson has pedigree; he was a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, moving to the Titans after winning the Jim Thorpe Award as college football's best cornerback and also being named a unanimous All-American.
Dallas has been almost manically active in trying to fix a secondary that in 2025 was the NFL's worst. First-round rookie Caleb Downs is the crown jewel of the effort, and another rookie, Devin Moore, was taken later in this draft. Free agent standout Jalen Thompson comes over from Arizona , and Rams cornerback Cobie Durant and Broncos DB P.J. Locke are also newcomers joining top holdovers DaRon Bland , Malik Hooker and Shavon Revel .

Jackson's experience in multiple defensive schemes - including the "3-4 Hybrid'' that Parker brings here - is central to the attraction here ... with Dallas getting some credit for not standing pat.
The Cowboys have done a lot of shopping this summer, and this weekend, as they re-signed Quinnen Williams and went shopping on Von; Is Adoree next?
