The New York Giants have nailed the Scottish Hammer into their future plans.

The Giants announced they have signed punter Jamie Gillan to a three-year deal that, according to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero, is worth up to $10.2 million with incentives and includes$4 million guaranteed, according to ESPN. 

The full APY of Gillan’s contract is $3.4 million, which would tie him for second highest APY with Jack Fox of the Lions. Seattle’s Michael Dickson has the highest APY among partners at $3.6 million.

Gillan, 27, has been stationed with the Giants since 2022. With the Giants' offense sputtering, Gillan has undoubtedly been busy during his time in New York, booting the fourth-most punts in football since arriving in 2022. 

He averaged just under 45 yards per kick, and under 40 percent of his efforts landed inside the opponent's 20. Gillan appeared in 13 games for the Giants last season while dealing with a hamstring issue last year and has also served as the Giants' holder and emergency kicker.

An Arkansas-Pine Bluff alumnus the Forres, Scotland native entered the league with the Cleveland Browns in 2019, which ended with his name on the Pro Football Writers Association's All-Rookie team. He succeeded Riley Dixon as Big Blue's punter.

Gillan joins quarterback Tommy DeVito, linebacker Tomon Fox and tight end Chris Manhertz as those Giants players from last year re-upping for a return engagement.
