New York Giants Sign Two Free Agents Ahead of Training Camp

With the start of training camp less than a week away, the Giants have ramped up their continued watch for players to upgrade the bottom of the roster.
With training camps approaching, free agent tryouts will pick back up.

The Giants tried out veteran RB/return specialist Tyler Ervin, RB Mike Weber and DB Jordyn Peters.
The team announced Wednesday that they signed running back Mike Weber and defensive back Jordyn Peters.
Weber, 5'10", 211 pounds, played his college ball at Ohio State, where he averaged 6.1 yards per carry and 5.1 yards per reception. He was initially selected in the seventh round by the Cowboys in the 2019 draft and spent all of that season on the practice squad. He also had stints on the Chiefs and Packers practice squad.
Peters, 6'1, 200 pounds, played his college ball at Auburn, where he had 101 total tackles, two sacks, one interception, and eight passes defensed. Peters had signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent, but he was cut when the team signed Morgan Moses.
The Giants currently have a roster spot open after waiving running back Ryquell Armstead last month.
