New York Giants agree to terms with Adoree Jackson: Contract details

In 46 career games (41 starts), Jackson has returned 53 punts for 464 yards and 27 kickoffs for 601 yards. However, that production has fallen off a bit in recent years. “He was a fairly effective punt returner in 2017 and 2018 but had some big hiccups early on in 2019 and had the job taken from him,” Mike Moraitis of Titans Wire told Giants Wire. “Injuries are another concern. Really wasn’t all the way back last year when he did return and he was awful, no two ways about it.”

The New York Giants, who came into free agency with little to spend, are finding ways to bring in big named players.

On Monday, it was reported that they are signing free agent cornerback Adoree Jackson to a three-year, $39 million deal that includes $26.5 million guaranteed.

Meanwhile, NFL Network’s Adam Schefter reports that with incentives Jackson’s deal can max out at $44.5 million.

Jackson was the 18th overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft out of USC and the Giants hope he will be a complementary partner to Pro Bowl cornerback James Bradberry, who incidentally signed a three-year, $45 million contract with Big Blue last March.

Jackson joins a talented Giants secondary that includes Bradberry, safeties Jabrill Peppers, Logan Ryan and Xavier McKinney, and defensive backs Julian Love, Darnay Holmes and Isaac Yiadom.

The Jackson signing is the Giants’ second huge deal in as many days. On Saturday, they inked Pro Bowl wide receiver Kenny Golladay to a four-year deal worth $72 million ($40 million guaranteed).
