3 Former NFC East Rivals the Cowboys Should Still Target in Free Agency

With the Cowboys having Trevon Diggs, DaRon Bland, and Jourdan Lewis, Dallas likely isn’t in the market for another cornerback. Not to mention, Dallas used a fifth-round pick on Caelen Carson in the 2024 NFL Draft, who they are high on.
That said, when you have a veteran defensive back, such as Adoree’ Jackson still on the open market – it wouldn’t be a bad idea for the Cowboys to kick the tires.
The former New York Giants cornerback struggled a little bit last season. He allowed a 65.9 completion percentage allowed on targets, a 95.5 pass rating allowed when targeted (second-highest in his career), and two receiving touchdowns.
Nonetheless, the 28-year-old is still a starting-caliber cornerback. Therefore, Dallas may not be the best spot for Jackson. But if a surprise injury happens over the next month or in training camp, Jackson could be the Cowboys’ first call.
Last season, the Cowboys lost Diggs to a torn ACL, but they were able to survive, thanks to the play of Stephon Gilmore and Bland. They don't have Gilmore, who is also an unrestricted free agent like Jackson.
