Giants 2026 Free Agency Tracker: Latest Signings, Losses, News & Rumors

Welcome to one of the best times of the NFL calendar, New York Giants fans!

Yes, NFL free agency is upon us as teams will be permitted to negotiate with free agents from other teams leading up to (hopefully) deals being agreed to to help enhance the very first roster that will be overseen by head coach John Harbaugh.

At the same time, there will be players who will be moving on, either because they were cut or they chose to sign elsewhere.

It promises to be a crazy time–free agency always is. And it’s going to be fun to see what Harbaugh and general manager Joe Schoen have in store for this roster.

New Signings

Isaiah Likely | TE: 3 years, $40 million
Jordan Stout | P: 3 years, $12.3 million
Tremaine Edmunds | LB: 3 years, $36 million

The Giants' addition of Likely gives them a big-bodied receiver and a solid run blocker for their offense. It also reinforced the idea that the Giants are looking to make 12-personnel their base.

The addition of Stout at punter is a move we've been calling for since the season ended. Jamie Gillan, who is owed $800,000 in guaranteed money on is contract, was much too inconsistent for our tastes and apparently for Harbaugh's. The Giants got themselves an upgrade capable of flipping the field.

Edmunds was a player linked to the Giants almost as soon as it was announced he could seek a trade. Rather than jumping the gun, the Giants waited, and they were able to get their veteran inside linebacker, who will replace Bobby Okereke in the starting lineup--all without having to surrender draft picks or a player.

Re-signings

Gunner Olszewski |WR/PR/KOR: 1 year, Money TBD
Chris Manhertz | TE: 1 year, Money TBD

Olszewski was a solid return specialist for the Giants last year. He also did well when called upon to fill in at slot receiver for Wan'Dale Robinson, and will get a chance to compete for that role this summer.

Manhertz's contributions as a blocking tight end often went unnoticed, but they were an integral part of the running game and figure to continue to be as such. This signing also likely means the end of Daienl Bellinger's time with the Giants, though we'll see what his market looks like.

Departures

Daniel Bellinger | TE: Titans, 3 years, $24 million
Wan'Da'e Robinson | WR: Titans, 4 years, $78 million with $38M guaranteed
Cor'Dale Flott | CB: Titans, 3 years, $45 million with $32 million fully guaranteed

As soon as it came out that the Giants were pursuing former Ravens right end Isaiah Likely, Bellinger's time was up. It's ironic, though, as in signing with the Titans, whose offensive coordinator is former Giants head coach Brian Daboll, Bellinger wasn't used much in the Giants' passing offense. It will be interesting to see if that changes.

Robinson's departure to the Titans is no surprise either. The Giants were never serious about keeping him, as Matt Nagy typically has opted for a bigger slot receiver. Further, there was some question as to whether Robinson, who is coming off his first career 1,000-yard receiving season, would be able to sustain that kind of production.

Flott becomes the third Giants UFA to follow former head coach Brian Daboll to Tennessee, where Daboll is now the offensive coordinator. There was some talk that he was seeking a deal that would pay, on average, what Paulson Adebo received from the Giants last offseason ($18 million APY). Apparently, that was too rich for the Giants' taste buds, and although Flott is going to average $3 million less than Adebo, he apparently heard what he wanted from the Titans.

Contracts Terminated/Cap Savings

Bobby Okereke | ILB: $9 million savings
James Hudson III | OL : $5.38 million savings

Given the depth of this year's lienbackers cass in the draft, Okereke's $9 million cap savings was just too good to resist. He'll catch on somewhere though as he still has a lot to offer.

Hudson's fate was sealed after an epic meltdown in Week 2 which rendered him untrustworthy. When rookie Marcus Mbow passed the veteran on the depth chart, that sealed his fate.

Adjusted Contracts

Devin Singletary | RB: Pay Cut - Approximately $3.95 million savings

Singletary's agreeing to a pay cut came as a surprise, but a pleasant one at that as he was the team's best short-yardage back last season and the best of the three running backs in the run-blocking department. He also has some value as a punt returner.

Unrestricted Free Agents (UFAs)

Here is the list of the Giants' unsigned unrestricted free agents. We'd venture to guess that more than half will not be back. The only question is will those who aren't back land with other teams which would potentially help the Giants with comp picks for 2027?

S Dane Belton
DL D.J. Davidson
OLB Victor Dimukeje
OL Jermaine Eluemunor
OL Joshua Ezeudu
LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles
CB Cor'Dale Flott
LS Casey Kreiter
ILB Neville Hewitt
WR Isaiah Hodgins
ILB Micah McFadden
OL Evan Neal
DL Rakeem Nuñez-Roches Sr.
C Austin Schlottmann
OL Aaron Stinnie
G Greg Van Roten
QB Russell Wilson

Restricted Free Agents (RFAs)

LB Zaire Barnes

We don't anticipate the Giants will tender any of their restricted free agents (RFAs) as the lowest tender granting the Giants right of first refusal is $3.52 million. Instead, we look for the Giants to try bringing back Ford-Wheaton and Fox on lower-cost deals which would allow them to compete in training camp this summer.

Exclusive Rights Free Agents (ERFAs)

An ERFA who has been tendered a one-year contract at the league minimum (based on his credited seasons), cannot negotiate with other teams.

Art Green | CB
Nic Jones | CB
Ryan Miller | WR

While we wait for confirmation on which of the ERFAs have been tendered, the early thinking is that Green and Jones will receive tenders not just because the cornerback depth is so thin but because both were solid contributors on special teams.
