The New York Giants aren't done adding.Former Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree' Jackson agreed to join New York on Monday, the team announced.The deal is for three years and $39 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, and it's reportedly worth up to $44.5 million, including $26.5 million guaranteed.The Titans surprisingly released Jackson last week. Tennessee had previously exercised the fifth-year option on the 25-year-old's rookie contract.The former first-rounder appeared in just three games during the 2020 regular season due to a knee injury but previously played 43 games (39 starts) through his first three NFL campaigns.Jackson has averaged 69 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and one interception per 16 games since entering the league as the 18th overall pick in 2017.The USC product is the latest addition in a busy offseason for the Giants.
The San Francisco 49ers re-signed safety Jaquiski Tartt to a one-year deal Monday, the team announced."We are very excited to have Jaquiski back with our team," general manager John Lynch said in a statement. "Jaquiski is an extremely skilled and versatile player who provides excellent communication skills for our defense."San Francisco drafted Tartt in the second round in 2015. He's appeared in 66 games since entering the NFL, including 50 starts.Tartt has been a quality starter when healthy, but he's played 10-plus games just once in the last four seasons. The Samford product amassed 30 tackles, four pass breakups, and one interception through seven contests in 2020.The 29-year-old joins a list of multiple starters to re-sign with the 49ers this offseason.
The NFL draft will mostly return to its standard, pre-pandemic form for the 2021 event set to be held in Cleveland from April 29 to May 1, NFL executive vice president of club business and league events Peter O'Reilly told Ben Fischer of the Sports Business Journal.Commissioner Roger Goodell will announce picks from a draft stage and fans will be able to attend the event, though mask-wearing, social distancing, and capacity limits will be enforced."We have been characterizing it as a large, live, in-person event," said Greater Cleveland Sports Commission CEO David Gilbert.While the draft's legal capacity limit remains one of the major unknowns, Gilbert says the event will be the city's largest in many years, and "certainly since the (2016) Republican Convention."Teams will still make picks exclusively from their local draft rooms.

It didn't take long for Kyle Fuller to find a new team.The former Chicago Bears star cornerback agreed to a one-year deal with the Denver Broncos, the team announced.The pact is worth $9.5 million, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.The Chicago Bears reportedly decided to part ways with Fuller after seven seasons earlier this week. The move, which stems from Chicago's salary cap situation, became official Saturday just hours before the Broncos agreed to a deal with the 29-year-old.Fuller earned a first-team All-Pro nod in 2018 after leading the NFL with seven interceptions and 21 pass breakups. He also made two straight Pro Bowls in 2018 and 2019.The 2014 first-round pick out of Virginia Tech has racked up 390 tackles, 82 pass breakups, and 19 interceptions through 96 career appearances. He's made 64 straight starts since missing the entire 2016 campaign due to a knee injury.Fuller will reunite with head coach Vic Fangio, who was the Bears defensive coordinator from 2015-18.The Broncos cut A.J. Bouye in February, which made the cornerback position arguably their biggest defensive need. In addition to Fuller, Denver has also signed veteran corner Ronald Darby this offseason.Fuller and Darby will join a group that also features Bryce Callahan, giving the unit depth and versatility.
