Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys absolutely dropped a bomb on the offseason Sunday, signing veteran pass rusher Von Miller in what has to be one of the biggest moves we’ve seen. Miller had been in contact with Dallas all offseason, straight up expressing his desire to finally wear that iconic star on his helmet. But here’s the kicker: even after landing a monster like Miller, Dallas isn’t done. Nope, the front office is still eyeing more additions before the regular season even kicks off, showing they’re seriously focused on strengthening this roster for the future.
The Hunt for More Depth in Dallas
Even with Miller in the fold, there’s one position that screams concern for Dallas: cornerback. Yeah, Cobie Durant has impressed in training camp, and rookie Shavon Revel is grinding it out and developing, but the Cowboys know deep down they need way more depth. A long NFL season chews up players, and they can’t afford to be thin in the secondary. That’s why they’re still on the hunt, looking to make sure their defense is absolutely stacked.
Adoree’ Jackson, A Veteran With Serious Appeal
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, veteran cornerback Adoree’ Jackson is exactly the kind of player Jerry Jones’ program has been monitoring. Jackson’s got history with Dallas’s current defensive coordinator, Christian Parker, from their days in Philadelphia where Parker coached the Eagles’ defensive backs. That connection is massive, especially since Jackson’s experience in multiple defensive systems, including the hybrid scheme Parker now employs in Dallas, seriously ups his appeal. The Cowboys weren’t messing around either, even hosting Jackson for a free-agent visit at The Star before training camp began. Last season with the Eagles, Jackson played in 14 games, starting 10 of them. He put up 55 tackles, defended 11 passes, and snagged an interception. That’s a guy who proved he still has the caliber to be an effective contributor on the outside, assuming he stays healthy. And get this: throughout his entire NFL career, Jackson has piled up a staggering 459 tackles. If Dallas pulls the trigger and signs him, it would mark his fourth team, following stints with the Eagles, Tennessee Titans, and New York Giants.
This isn’t just a minor tweak, folks. This is Jerry Jones signaling loud and clear that they are building something serious in Dallas. You sign a legend like Von Miller, and then you immediately pivot to a proven veteran cornerback with a ton of experience and a connection to your DC? That tells you everything you need to know about the Cowboys’ ambition this season. Keep your eyes peeled on The Star, because it feels like more moves are definitely on the horizon before the regular season begins.
