PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Eagles added to their suddenly depleted secondary on Thursday, signing veteran cornerback Adoree Jackson on a one-year deal.
The Eagles lost cornerbacks Darius Slay and Isaiah Rodgers in free agency, then traded CJ Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans earlier this week.
Jackson, 29, was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2017 and spent the last four seasons with the New York Giants.

Eagles defensive changes
The Eagles secondary will look different from the one that helped clinch Philadelphia's second Super Bowl in less than a decade last year.

The Eagles continued their secondary shake-up by trading fan-favorite CJ Gardener-Johnson to the Houston Texans for lineman Kenyon Green and a 2026 pick swap.
More losses on the defensive side include Milton Williams signing with the New England Patriots and Josh Sweat heading to the Arizona Cardinals.
Rookie standouts Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell highlight Philadelphia's depth chart at cornerback, which also includes Reed Blankenship and Keele Ringo.
