<p>Washington dipped into the free agent pool and spent significant money to fill a void at cornerback.</p>
<p>The team is signing William Jackson to a contract worth $42 million over three years with $26 million guaranteed, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the team does not release contract terms.</p>
<p>Jackson replaces Ronald Darby, who <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nfl-denver-broncos-bryce-callahan-football-coronavirus-pandemic-8cb391932fa33f942d048526f7c1dae0">left to sign with the Denver Broncos</a>. The 28-year-old Jackson joins Washington after four seasons with the Bengals, during which he recorded three interceptions in 59 games, including 48 starts.</p>
<p>Washington also re-signed reserve running back Lamar Miller to a one-year contract, agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed in an email to the AP.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, the team <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nfl-alex-smith-football-ryan-fitzpatrick-taylor-heinicke-5f51ce0462166e19b6b0f501206bb01b">agreed to sign veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick</a>. Washington went into free agency with almost $39 million in cap space, among the most in the NFL.</p>
<p>Washington is still in need of a No. 2 wide receiver to complement Terry McLaurin and is also looking for a linebacker after losing starter Kevin Pierre-Louis in free agency.</p>
