The New York Giants had a phenomenal defense in 2020. But the unit was not perfect. As good as the Giants’ secondary was, led by cornerback James Bradberry, there was room for improvement. Opposite of Bradberry, the Giants had a revolving door at CB2. In the 2021 offseason, New York seemingly solved this problem when they signed cornerback Adoree’ Jackson to a three-year, $39M contract.
James Bradberry established himself as a truly elite outside cornerback last season. But with two starting outside cornerbacks on a depth chart, the Giants lacked a second quality starter at the position.
