Reports: Giants Signing CB Greg Newsome II to 1-Year Deal
Greg Newsome II signed a one-year deal worth up to $10 million to compete for a starting cornerback role after Cor’Dale Flott left in free agency.
- The New York Giants agreed Tuesday to add veteran cornerback Greg Newsome II on a one-year deal worth up to $10 million, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Oliver Chell confirmed; the contract becomes official Wednesday at 4 p.m.
- After Cor’Dale Flott left in free agency on Monday, the Giants moved to replace him amid depth questions behind Paulson Adebo and under Shane Bowen.
- During 2025, Newsome recorded 52 tackles, nine pass breakups, and posted a 99.1 coverage passer rating, reflecting his recent performance with the Jaguars.
- Newsome will compete to start opposite Paulson Adebo, directly challenging Deonte Banks for playing time, while the one-year deal lets the Giants evaluate him as depth amid ongoing cornerback pursuits.
- As a short, incentive-laden 'prove-it' contract, Newsome's deal fits a trend that could lead to a multi-year market in 2027 if he stabilizes outside coverage, the team remains active in free agency.
