EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants re-signed cornerback Adoree' Jackson, who spent the last three seasons with the team. The move Saturday adds a proven veteran to the Giants' secondary, which heads into the regular season otherwise mostly young and inexperienced. New York released tight end/fullback Jakob Johnson to make room for Jackson. The 28-year-old Jackson started 14 games last season for the Giants and returned an interception 76 yards for a touchdown. He has 77 career starts, almost double the five other key cornerbacks on the current roster, including Deonte Banks, Cor'Dale Flott, Nick McCloud, Tre Hawkins III and rookie Dru Phillips.
