Cowboys have another signing in sight after Von Miller shocker

The Dallas Cowboys continue to add firepower to their much-improved defense.

With the start of the season just around the corner, they added Von Miller to their pass-rushing unit, hoping the future Hall of Famer can help mitigate Micah Parsons' departure while the youngsters get up to speed.

Even if he's no longer in his prime, Miller's presence will make life easier for new defensive coordinator Christian Parker.

However, it looks like they're not done making moves. According to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, they're also keeping tabs on Adoree' Jackson.

"In addition to Von Miller, the Cowboys have explored cornerback help via free agency. One name to watch is Adoree Jackson, who was with DC Christian Parker in Philadelphia. Jackson has interest from a few teams, though," Fowler shared on X.

The Cowboys secondary left plenty to be desired last season. As things stand now, they have DaRon Bland locked in as one of the starting cornerbacks, but the other starting spot might be up for grabs.

Shavon Revel Jr. and Cobie Durant seem to be the leading candidates to start opposite, with rookie Caleb Downs listed as the starting nickel and also playing heavy snaps at safety.

Whatever the case, the Cowboys have taken big strides to fix their historically bad defense from 2025, and while they still need to prove themselves, they look like the team to beat in the division, at least on paper.
