The Dallas Cowboys are wasting no time in their quest to reinforce their secondary ahead of the 2026-27 season. According to NFL insider Jordan Shultz, the team has expressed interest in a familiar NFC East face—veteran cornerback Adoree’ Jackson.

Jackson, a 30-year-old former first-round pick, has started 10 games for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, recording 55 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and one interception. His connection to the Cowboys runs deeper than just division rivalry: his defensive backs coach in Philadelphia, Christian Parker, is now the Cowboys' defensive coordinator. That familiarity could make Jackson a natural fit in Dallas.

However, Jackson’s recent performance has raised some eyebrows. During the Eagles’ Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys last season, two-time All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had a field day against him, hauling in seven catches for 110 yards. Pro Football Focus graded Jackson at just 53.6 for the season, placing him near the bottom of the league among cornerbacks. Critics point to inconsistent footwork, undisciplined coverage, and a lack of ball-hawking instincts as recurring issues.

Despite those struggles, the Cowboys are giving Jackson a look, hosting him for a free agent visit this week. The move signals that Dallas is open to adding veteran depth—even if it means taking a chance on a player who has faced tough outings against their own star receiver. For a team looking to shore up its pass defense, Jackson’s experience and familiarity with Parker’s system could outweigh the risks.

Whether Jackson ultimately lands in Dallas remains to be seen, but the interest underscores the Cowboys’ commitment to building a competitive secondary as they gear up for another run at the NFC East crown.
