Cowboys Place Parris Campbell on Reserve/Retired List The Dallas Cowboys officially placed veteran receiver Parris Campbell on the reserve/retired list on Wednesday, marking the end of his NFL career. The move, confirmed by the league’s daily transaction wire, signals that Campbell will no longer be active with the team moving forward. Campbell, 28, was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. However, his early career was marred by recurring injuries, which limited his playing time during his first few seasons. After a breakthrough 2022 season, where he appeared in all 17 games, Campbell finally found consistency. That year, he recorded 63 receptions for 623 yards and three touchdowns, establishing himself as a reliable target for his team. Following his breakout campaign, Campbell became a free agent and joined the New York Giants in 2023. He played in 12 games for the Giants before being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he contributed to their Super Bowl LIX victory. During the 2023 postseason, Campbell made all three playoff games for the Eagles, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure. In 2024, Campbell returned to the NFC East, joining the Cowboys’ practice squad. However, he only saw limited action, appearing in a single game during the regular season. Despite his efforts, the Cowboys opted to retire him, likely due to a combination of age, injury history, and the team’s need to prioritize younger players. Over his seven NFL seasons, Campbell accumulated 123 receptions for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns. While his career was defined by perseverance through injury setbacks, his 2022 season remains his most productive.#philadelphia_eagles #indianapolis_colts #new_york_giants #dallas_cowboys #parris_campbell
Giants Players Dismiss Locker Room Rift Rumors After QB Introduces Trump at Rally New York Giants linebacker Abdul Carter and quarterback Jaxson Dart have publicly refuted rumors of internal division within the team following Dart’s controversial appearance at a political event. The incident unfolded after Dart, the Giants’ second-year starter, introduced former President Donald Trump at a pep rally for New York Rep. Mike Lawler in Suffern, New York, on Friday. The event, held at Rockland Community College, was part of Lawler’s campaign to secure reelection in a suburban area northwest of New York City. Dart’s introduction of Trump, which included a chant of “Go Big Blue” with the crowd, sparked immediate backlash from some teammates. Carter, a second-year outside linebacker, initially mocked the situation on social media, writing, “Thought this s--- was AI, what we doing man,” before later clarifying, “Me and JD6 are good! We spoke earlier as Men,” in response to ongoing speculation about locker room tensions. Carter’s comments were met with mixed reactions, with some fans and analysts questioning the validity of the rumors. The controversy extended beyond Carter. Wide receiver Darius Slayton addressed a false claim that Dart had made a racist comment in the past, while offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor dismissed reports suggesting Dart’s political views were causing division. Eluemunor tweeted, “Locker Room is fine. Focus on New England,” a reference to the team’s upcoming season opener against the New England Patriots. The Giants’ offseason program, which had just concluded its first three voluntary organized team activities (OTAs), is currently in Phase 3 of its preparation.#new_york_giants #jaxson_dart #abud_carter #mike_lawler #rockland_community_college
New York Giants' Undrafted Cornerback Thaddeus Dixon Suffers Torn Achilles, Ending Rookie Season Prospects North Carolina defensive back Thaddeus Dixon, signed as an undrafted free agent by the New York Giants, faces a significant setback after tearing his Achilles during pre-draft workouts. The injury, which occurred on Wednesday, has cast doubt on his ability to contribute as a rookie, with recovery timelines typically ranging from six to nine months. While there remains a possibility of returning late in his rookie season, the injury poses a major challenge for a player still establishing himself in the NFL. Dixon, a 6-0, 195-pound cornerback, was recruited by New York Giants defensive coordinator Bill Belichick to play for North Carolina after his first two seasons at Washington. Under Belichick’s guidance, Dixon recorded five pass breakups and five stops during his lone season with the Tar Heels. However, his performance regressed compared to his final year at Washington, where he allowed a 66.5 passer rating when targeted. Despite this, draft analysts had projected him as a fifth- or sixth-round prospect in a relatively weak draft class, making his signing a valuable addition for the Giants. The Giants have invested heavily in their cornerback position over the past two years, adding free agents Paulson Adebo and Greg Newsome while selecting Colton Hood with the 37th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Dixon’s inclusion as an undrafted free agent was seen as a strategic move to bolster depth, but the Achilles injury now threatens his ability to compete for a roster spot. With the team’s stacked cornerback group, Dixon would have faced an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster even before the injury.#north_carolina #new_york_giants #bill_belichick #thaddeus_dixon #new_york_giants_defensive_coordinator
Bengals Sign DT Dexter Lawrence to One-Year, $28M Extension Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II completed his physical with the Cincinnati Bengals and has agreed to a one-year, $28 million contract extension, according to the Win Sports Group, which shared the news with ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday. The deal, which was finalized after Lawrence passed his medical exam, ensures he will remain with the Bengals through the 2025 season. The move marks the first time in the Bengals’ history they have traded a top-10 draft pick for a player since the common draft era began in 1966. Lawrence, 28, was acquired by the Bengals in a trade with the New York Giants for the No. 10 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft. The Giants had reached an impasse with Lawrence over a new contract, prompting him to request a trade after seven seasons with New York. The Giants, who now hold the rights to the No. 5 and No. 10 first-round picks, finalized the deal to move on from Lawrence, who had been a key part of their defense but had grown frustrated with the lack of progress in negotiations. Lawrence’s extension with Cincinnati comes as the Bengals aim to bolster their defense, which struggled during the 2024 season. The team missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year, and general manager Duke Tobin emphasized the importance of Lawrence’s role in their plans. “Dexter fits the vision we have on our defense and will also elevate others around him,” Tobin said in a statement. “We are confident in Dexter and can’t wait to see the positive effects he and the other players we have acquired this offseason have on our football team. We are excited to turn to the draft and our remaining picks to further enhance our team.#new_york_giants #adam_schefter #cincinnati_bengals #dexter_lawrence #win_sports_group
New York Giants' 2026 NFL Draft Picks: A Detailed Breakdown of Key Selections The New York Giants made their first-round selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, acquiring Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese with the No. 5 pick and Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa with the No. 10 selection. The team also selected Tennessee cornerback Colton Hood in the second round with the 37th pick, marking a strategic effort to bolster their defense and offensive line. The draft selections reflect the Giants’ focus on high-impact players with proven talent and potential to contribute immediately at the next level. Arvell Reese, a standout linebacker from Ohio State, emerged as one of the top prospects in the draft. Over his three-year collegiate career, Reese totaled 112 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 7.0 sacks, and seven quarterback hurries. His 2025 season was particularly impressive, as he recorded 69 tackles, including 10.0 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. He was named a consensus All-American and earned first-team honors from the Associated Press, Football Coaches Association of America, and Walter Camp. Reese also claimed the Big Ten Conference’s Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year award and was a first-team all-Big Ten selection. His ability to disrupt opposing offenses and his leadership on the field made him a top priority for the Giants. Francis Mauigoa, the Giants’ second pick, was a dominant offensive lineman for Miami. The 6-foot-6, 329-pound right tackle started all 42 games of his collegiate career and was a key member of an offensive line that ranked fifth nationally and led the ACC in fewest tackles for loss allowed per game (3.63). Mauigoa earned consensus All-America honors and was named the ACC’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy winner, recognizing his excellence as a blocker.#big_ten_conference #new_york_giants #arvell_reese #francis_mauigoa #colton_hood
Abdul Carter Switches to No. 3 for Second Giants Season Edge rusher Abdul Carter will debut with a new uniform number for his second season with the Giants, coinciding with the arrival of a new head coach. The team officially announced on Friday that Carter has transitioned to No. 3. The 2024 first-round draft pick previously wore No. 51 as a rookie, but the departure of Russell Wilson from the team made the number available for this season. Carter’s uniform number selection has been a topic of discussion in past seasons as well. Last year, he sought to wear No. 56, but the request was denied when the team’s former star, Lawrence Taylor, refused to unretire the number. Carter then aimed for No. 11, only to face the same rejection from Phill Simms, who had previously occupied the number. The Giants’ decision to assign No. 3 now appears to mark a fresh start for the player. With the new number in place, the Giants are optimistic that Carter will establish his own identity on the field, moving beyond the legacy of previous players who wore the same number. The change reflects both a personal adjustment for Carter and a strategic move by the team to align with its evolving roster and coaching philosophy.#new_york_giants #abudl_carter #russell_wilson #lawrence_taylor #phill_simms
Abdul Carter Announces New Jersey Number Abdul Carter, the second-year outside linebacker for the New York Giants, has announced that he will wear jersey number 3 for the upcoming season. This new number coincides with his status as the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. During his rookie season, Carter played in all 17 games, starting six of them, and recorded 43 total tackles, 23 quarterback hits, seven tackles for loss, 4.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. His 23 quarterback hits led all rookies in 2025 and were also the most by a Giants rookie ever, tying for the sixth-most among all NFL rookies since 2006. Carter, who was a finalist for the Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award, also set a Giants rookie record by achieving at least a share of a sack in four consecutive games. Carter previously wore jersey number 11 during his college tenure at Penn State, where he was recognized as a unanimous All-American for the 15th time in the program's history. Before that, he donned number 22 at La Salle College High School in Philadelphia. Notably, quarterback Russell Wilson, who is currently a free agent, wore jersey number 3 for the Giants during the previous season. The Giants have had several standout sack leaders since the statistic became official in 1982. Lawrence Taylor led the team with 7.5 sacks in 1982 and continued to dominate the stat line, recording 9 sacks in 1983 (tied with George Martin), 11.5 in 1984, and 20.5 in 1986. Other notable sack leaders include Leonard Marshall with 15.5 in 1985, Michael Strahan with 22.5 in 2001, and Dexter Lawrence with 7.5 in 2022. The 2025 season will see Brian Burns take the lead with 16.5 sacks.#penn_state #new_york_giants #abudl_carter #jersey_number_3 #russell_wilson
Giants Show Interest in Former Bills Guard Ryan Bates During Free Agency The New York Giants made a move in week two of NFL free agency by visiting with veteran interior offensive lineman Ryan Bates, a former starting guard for the Buffalo Bills. The visit, noted in the NFL transaction log, marks the team’s attempt to secure a backup or depth option at the guard position. Bates, 29, spent three seasons with the Bills under head coach Joe Schoen before joining the Chicago Bears in 2024 and 2025. Bates, an undrafted prospect from Penn State, had a brief stint as a full-time starter in 2022, when he played 15 games at right guard for the Bills. However, his production has declined significantly in the past three seasons, with limited playing time due to injuries. He has started just eight games since 2022 and has appeared in 103 total contests, mostly as a backup and special teamer. Despite his limited starting experience, the Giants’ interest suggests they see value in his familiarity with Schoen and his potential as a reliable depth player. The Giants’ free agency strategy has been unconventional, with significant cap spending on positions like tight end, punter, and fullback rather than traditional priorities like offensive line. While they re-signed right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor and added wide receivers Calvin Austin and Darnell Mooney, their focus on atypical positions has raised questions about their approach to key roles like guard. The team’s interest in Bates comes amid a broader free agency landscape where top-tier guards like Alijah Vera-Tucker and Tyler Linderbaum were out of reach. With new head coach John Harbaugh emphasizing a smashmouth style that prioritizes a strong rushing attack, the Giants’ offensive line depth remains a concern.#buffalo_bills #new_york_giants #john_harbaugh #ryan_bates #joe_schoen
Free agent center Ryan Bates visits Giants The New York Giants extended an invitation to free agent center Ryan Bates for a visit on Monday, as the team looks to add depth to its offensive line. Bates, 29, is entering his third season as a free agent after spending the past two years with the Chicago Bears. The Giants are seeking a reliable backup to starter John Michael Schmitz Jr., who has been a key contributor for the team. Bates began his NFL career in 2019 with the Buffalo Bills, where he spent five seasons. During his time with the Bills, he appeared in 73 games, starting 19 of them. His most productive season came in 2022, when he started 15 games at left guard. After leaving the Bills, Bates was acquired by the Bears in 2024 in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick. In his two seasons with the Bears, Bates played in 19 games, starting two of them. However, his tenure with the team was marked by injury challenges. He spent two stints on injured reserve during the 2024 season, first due to shoulder and elbow issues early in the year and later after sustaining a concussion toward the end of the season. Despite these setbacks, Bates has remained a consistent presence on the field when healthy, and his experience could make him an attractive option for the Giants as they prepare for the upcoming season.#buffalo_bills #chicago_bears #new_york_giants #ryan_bates #john_michael_schmitz_jr
Former 49ers Safety Jason Pinnock Signs With Giants The New York Giants have signed former San Francisco 49ers safety Jason Pinnock, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Pinnock, an unrestricted free agent, returns to the Giants after previously playing for the team from 2022 to 2024. He spent the 2025 season with the 49ers on a one-year contract, where he appeared in 17 games, starting seven, and recorded 41 combined tackles. Pinnock entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick (175th overall) in the 2021 draft, selected by the New York Jets. After his rookie season with the Jets, he joined the Giants for three seasons, starting 37 games. Over his five-year NFL career, Pinnock has played in 75 games, with 46 starts, accumulating 268 tackles (13 for a loss), 6.5 sacks, 11 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, and two interceptions. One of his notable plays came in the 2023 season, when he returned an interception for a 102-yard touchdown. The Giants’ decision to re-sign Pinnock reflects his experience and contributions as a defensive back. His return adds depth to the team’s secondary, particularly as they look to strengthen their coverage options. Pinnock’s ability to make plays in critical moments, such as his touchdown return, highlights his value as a versatile player. Pinnock’s career trajectory has included multiple team changes, but his consistent performance has kept him relevant in the league. His signing with the Giants underscores the team’s focus on bolstering their defensive unit ahead of the 2026 season. As he reunites with a former team, Pinnock’s experience and track record position him as a reliable asset for the Giants’ defensive strategy.#nfl #san_francisco_49ers #new_york_giants #jordan_schultz #jason_pinnock
NFL free agency: 49ers DB Jason Pinnock signing with Giants The San Francisco 49ers faced a pressing need to strengthen their safety room this offseason as they entered free agency, but the situation has become more urgent following the departure of one of their safeties to another team. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, former 49ers defensive back Jason Pinnock has agreed to a deal with the New York Giants. Pinnock, 26, was selected in the fifth round (No. 175 overall) of the 2021 NFL draft by the New York Jets out of Pittsburgh. During his NFL career, he spent one season with the Jets, three with the Giants, and one with the 49ers. This past season, he played in all 17 games for San Francisco, contributing 46% of the team’s defensive snaps and 20% of their special teams snaps. He recorded 41 tackles in 2025. The 49ers’ safety room for the 2026 season now consists of Malik Mustapha, Ji'Ayir Brown, Marques Sigle, Derrick Canteen, and Darrick Forrest. The loss of Pinnock leaves the team with fewer options to bolster their defensive backfield, raising concerns about their ability to compete in the upcoming season. The move underscores the competitive nature of free agency in the NFL, where teams often prioritize immediate impact over long-term investments. Pinnock’s departure highlights the challenges teams face in retaining talent while navigating the complexities of the league’s free agent market. With the Giants securing Pinnock’s services, the 49ers must now focus on addressing their defensive shortcomings through the draft or additional free agent signings. The situation reflects the broader trend of teams reshaping their rosters to adapt to evolving competition and strategic priorities.#san_francisco_49ers #new_york_giants #jason_pinnock #malik_mustapha #jiayir_brown
New York Giants Reach Agreement with Safety Jason Pinnock The New York Giants have reached an agreement with safety Jason Pinnock, pending a physical examination. The move marks Pinnock’s return to the team after a season with the San Francisco 49ers, where he made 17 appearances and started seven games. Prior to joining the 49ers, Pinnock spent three seasons with the Giants from 2022 to 2024, during which he played in 46 games and started 37. Throughout his career, Pinnock has accumulated notable statistics, including 263 total tackles (13 for loss), 11 passes defensed, 11 quarterback hits, 6.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and two interceptions. His most memorable play for the Giants came in 2023, when he intercepted a pass and returned it 102 yards for a touchdown. This performance tied him with Erich Barnes for the longest interception return in Giants history, as Barnes achieved the same feat in 1961 against the Dallas Cowboys. Pinnock’s 102-yard return also joined Henry Carr’s 101-yard touchdown in 1966 as the third instance in Giants history where an interception was returned at least 100 yards. Pinnock entered the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick by the New York Jets in 2021. Before his professional career, he played college football at the University of Pittsburgh, where he appeared in 42 games over four seasons (2017–2020). His return to the Giants adds depth to the team’s secondary, particularly with his ability to contribute both as a pass defender and a return specialist. The physical examination is the next step in finalizing the deal, which is expected to be completed soon.#san_francisco_49ers #new_york_giants #new_york_jets #jason_pinnock #university_of_pittsburgh
Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller's Divorce: A Tale of Two Careers and Emotional Struggles The marriage between Las Vegas Aces guard Kelsey Plum and NFL tight end Darren Waller ended abruptly after just 13 months. The couple finalized their divorce in April 2024, following a private ceremony in Las Vegas on March 4, 2023. Their split coincided with significant career milestones, as Plum led her team to consecutive WNBA championships while Waller transitioned to a new NFL team. The divorce process became public, with Plum describing the experience as emotionally devastating. She revealed that the breakdown of their marriage felt like a "nightmare" that left her "broken." In a statement, Plum admitted she had not anticipated the public nature of the divorce, which she said exposed her vulnerabilities. "Going through a very public divorce is something I was not expecting," she said, adding that the experience left her feeling "like the rug got taken out from under me." To cope, she deleted social media, switched to a new phone, and turned to reading her Bible, acknowledging that the emotional impact would linger. Waller’s personal struggles also played a role in the split. In November 2023, he was hospitalized for a life-threatening emergency, which prompted him to reflect on his relationship patterns and self-identity. During an interview with "The Breakfast Club," he discussed his feelings of inadequacy in relationships, stating that he often tied his worth to the success of his partnerships. "I feel like I got to dance or do a certain thing to keep this person around," he said, explaining how this mindset led to a loss of self. He admitted that the relationship had become a source of emotional baggage, preventing him from making authentic decisions about his life.#miami_dolphins #new_york_giants #kelsey_plum #darren_waller #las_vegas_aces
Giants Free Agency Rumor Highlights New York as Potential Landing Spot for Explosive Running Back The New York Giants are emerging as a key team to monitor in the upcoming free agency market, particularly for explosive running back Keaton Mitchell, who is set to enter the open market after the Baltimore Ravens opted not to tender him. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Ravens have decided against placing a contract offer on Mitchell, which will make him a free agent. Fowler noted that the Giants are among the teams expected to show interest in Mitchell’s services. The decision by the Ravens not to tender Mitchell has been attributed to concerns about the cost of maintaining their running back room, as reported by The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec. The Ravens already have Derrick Henry and Justice Hill under contract, and they may feel that adding Mitchell would create financial strain. Mitchell, a former undrafted free-agent signing in 2023, has spent his entire NFL career with Baltimore, serving as a depth player. Despite his limited role, he has shown flashes of potential as a playmaker. Mitchell’s career has been shaped by injuries, which have impacted his availability. During his rookie season, he recorded 396 rushing yards, 93 receiving yards, and two touchdowns but was sidelined for much of the year due to a torn ACL. The injury forced him to miss several games in 2024, and he returned in 2025 after a knee strain kept him out for four contests. Once back, he contributed 341 rushing yards, 63 receiving yards, and one touchdown in 13 games. His connection to the Giants runs deeper than just his playing ability. Head coach John Harbaugh, who previously coached Mitchell in Baltimore, now leads the Giants, creating a potential familiarity that could benefit both parties.#baltimore_ravens #new_york_giants #jeremy_fowler #john_harbaugh #keaton_mitchell
Giants To Re-Sign OT Evan Neal The New York Giants have agreed to re-sign offensive tackle Evan Neal, according to his agency, AMDG Sports. The deal will be a one-year contract at the veteran-minimum salary, as reported by Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. This move marks another example of new head coach John Harbaugh’s impact in New York, despite Neal’s struggles during his tenure with the team. Neal, the former No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, was expected to leave the Giants after failing to appear in a single game during the 2025 season. The team had hoped he would form a dominant bookend duo with left tackle Andrew Thomas, but Neal never met the high expectations set by his draft selection. His performance has been plagued by injuries and inconsistency, with his pass protection struggles becoming a recurring issue. Neal’s career has been marked by setbacks. As a rookie, he missed four games due to an MCL sprain. When healthy, he was graded as one of the worst right tackles in the league by Pro Football Focus, though his run-blocking grade improved to 80.8 in 2024. Over the next two seasons, Neal appeared in just 16 games, continuing to struggle with pass protection while showing some progress in run blocking. The Giants declined Neal’s fifth-year option last offseason and attempted to move him to guard, but the transition never worked. He spent much of the 2025 season as a healthy scratch until a hamstring injury in November forced him into injured reserve. At that point, it seemed his time with the Giants was over, with multiple reports indicating he would leave the team. However, Harbaugh and new offensive line coach Mike Bloomgren appear to have confidence in Neal’s physical abilities, leading to his re-signing. Neal’s journey with the Giants has been a mix of promise and disappointment.#new_york_giants #john_harbaugh #evan_neal #amdg_sports #ryan_dunleavy
Falcons Sign Former Eagles Edge Rusher Azeez Ojulari to One-Year Deal The Atlanta Falcons have signed former Philadelphia Eagles and Georgia Bulldogs edge rusher Azeez Ojulari to a one-year contract. The 25-year-old player, who spent the past four seasons in the NFL, is returning to his hometown team after a stint with the New York Giants. Ojulari, a 6-foot-3, 250-pound defensive standout, will look to rekindle his early career form following his departure from the Giants in free agency last spring. Ojulari’s NFL journey began with the Giants, where he made an immediate impact. In his rookie season, he shattered the team’s record for sacks by a rookie with eight. Over four seasons with the Giants, he accumulated 22 sacks, 37 quarterback hits, and 21 tackles for loss across 46 games. However, his time with the team was marred by injuries, as he played in only 11 games during the 2024 season, recording six sacks. The majority of the season was spent on injured reserve, which limited his contributions. Prior to joining the Giants, Ojulari spent time with the Eagles, where he saw action in three games before being placed on injured reserve. His college career at the University of Georgia further solidified his reputation as a versatile pass-rusher. Now, with the Falcons, Ojulari aims to regain the form that made him a standout prospect in the league. His return to Atlanta marks a significant move for both the player and the team, as he seeks to build on his previous achievements while adapting to a new system.#philadelphia_eagles #new_york_giants #atlanta_falcons #azeez_ojulari #university_of_georgia
Tisch family seeks to transfer Giants ownership stake to children's trusts New York Giants co-owners Steve, Laurie, and Jonathan Tisch have requested to transfer their remaining ownership interests in the team to trusts established for their children, according to an NFL memo obtained by ESPN. The proposed transfer, which would remove the Tisch family from direct ownership, requires approval from the league’s finance committee. If approved, the Tisch family would no longer hold any stake in the Giants, the memo states. The memo, dated March 11, notes that prior transfers to the trusts were approved in 2023 and 2024. It outlines that the Sellers—referring to the Tisch family—now seek to transfer their entire remaining ownership, totaling 23.1% of the team, to the trusts. The document specifies that following the transaction, the Sellers will no longer have any interest in the franchise. A Giants spokesperson declined to comment when asked about the ownership transfer on Wednesday, while an NFL representative also refused to provide further details. The Tisch family’s request comes amid ongoing scrutiny related to Steve Tisch’s past associations with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In January, newly released Justice Department documents revealed extensive email exchanges between Epstein and Tisch, which included repeated references to women and invitations for Tisch to attend Epstein’s events, such as a Giants game in the owner’s box. Most of the correspondence dates to around 2013. In a statement at the time, Tisch described his brief association with Epstein as involving discussions about adult women, movies, philanthropy, and investments. He emphasized that he did not accept Epstein’s invitations and expressed regret for associating with him, noting Epstein’s criminal history.#jeffrey_epstein #new_york_giants #tisch_family #mara_family #koch_family
Giants To Sign DB Ar'Darius Washington The New York Giants are set to add defensive back Ar’Darius Washington to their roster, following a series of free agency moves that align with the team’s strategy under new head coach Brian Daboll. Washington, who spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens, is expected to sign a one-year, $3 million contract with New York, according to reports from SNY’s Connor Hughes. The deal marks another step in the Giants’ efforts to bolster their secondary, particularly after losing key players in recent seasons. The move is part of a broader pattern of free agency activity for the Giants, who have been actively pursuing players from John Harbaugh’s previous tenure with the Ravens. Harbaugh, who was recently hired as the Giants’ head coach, brought several of his former assistants to New York, creating a clear link between his coaching staff and the team’s free agent targets. Washington, a former first-round draft pick, has been a reliable contributor in the league, known for his versatility and ability to play multiple positions. His signing is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the Giants’ defense ahead of the 2024 season. The Giants’ free agency efforts also include other additions, such as re-signing wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and adding linebacker Quay Walker. However, Washington’s potential arrival underscores the team’s focus on addressing defensive weaknesses. With the Ravens’ defensive backfield undergoing significant changes, Washington’s experience and familiarity with the system could provide immediate value. The contract details, while not finalized, suggest a short-term commitment for Washington, which may reflect the Giants’ cautious approach to the draft and free agency.#baltimore_ravens #new_york_giants #brian_daboll #ar_darius_washington #john_harbaugh
Giants Target Former Ravens CB Ar'Darius Washington The New York Giants are reportedly set to sign former Baltimore Ravens cornerback Ar'Darius Washington to a one-year contract during the 2026 free agency period. According to Jordan Schultz, the Giants are expected to pursue the versatile defensive back, who has been a key contributor for the Ravens despite his limited playing time in recent seasons. The move adds to a growing list of Ravens players potentially joining the Giants as the team continues to reshape its roster following significant changes in coaching and personnel. The Ravens have undergone a major overhaul this offseason, including the hiring of a new head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, as well as the departure of several key players. While the team is not embarking on a complete rebuild, the roster has seen notable departures, particularly on the defensive side. General Manager Eric DeCosta is expected to use the draft capital accumulated from these departures to replenish critical positions. Washington’s potential signing would further bolster the Giants’ defensive depth, especially with their current secondary facing questions about consistency and production. Washington, 26, has primarily served as a backup strong safety for the Ravens but has also contributed as a nickel cornerback and slot defender. His versatility has made him a valuable asset, particularly in situations requiring coverage flexibility. However, his playing time has been limited due to his role as a backup and the presence of younger players in the secondary. The Giants, looking to strengthen their defensive backfield, could see Washington as a potential starter if he can secure a larger role in New York. Washington’s career has been marked by resilience and adaptability.#baltimore_ravens #new_york_giants #free_agency #ardarius_washington #eric_decosta
Giants Sign Ar’Darius Washington to 1-Year Contract The New York Giants have reached an agreement with former Baltimore Ravens defensive back Ar’Darius Washington, securing him on a one-year contract worth $3 million, according to reports. The deal comes as Washington recovers from a torn Achilles injury sustained during the 2025 season, which limited his availability for the previous campaign. The Giants’ decision to sign the 26-year-old marks a strategic move to address weaknesses in their secondary, which has faced significant changes following the departures of key players. Washington’s arrival is particularly timely given the Giants’ need to bolster their defensive backfield. The team lost cornerback Cor’Dale Flott to the Tennessee Titans in free agency and also parted ways with safety Dane Belton, who was a standout performer on special teams. Washington’s signing aims to fill the void left by these departures, adding depth to a secondary that has struggled with consistency in recent seasons. The Giants’ secondary has been a focal point of criticism, with questions about its ability to contain opposing offenses and provide reliable coverage in critical moments. Washington’s career has been defined by his versatility and athleticism, despite his smaller stature.
