New York Giants NFC East

Beckham will return to New York and compete for a depth role at wide receiver alongside Calvin Austin, Malachi Fields and Isaiah Hodgins, with Darius Slayton (abdomen) and Darnell Mooney being the top candidates to join Malik Nabers (ACL) in three-wide sets. The 33-year-old veteran played for the Giants from 2014-18 and has since logged stints with the Browns, Rams, Ravens and Dolphins. Beckham's last regular-season action came in 2024 with Miami, when he was limited to nine catches for 55 yards across as many appearances. Beckham doesn't boast the skill set to fill the void on special teams left by Gunner Olszewski's season-ending Achilles injury, though to that end Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that New York also plans to sign Braxton Berrios.

Head coach John Harbaugh's entrance means that nothing is a given on the Giants' roster. The Giants added Lucas Patrick this offseason, and he could be in the mix for the starting center job with a strong offseason program and training camp.

Neal didn't participate in a regular-season game for the Giants last year, both due to his performance and various injuries. Nevertheless, Neal re-signed with the Giants in March. The 2022 first-round pick is expected to serve in a rotational role in 2026.

Muasau suffered an ankle injury in the season finale, but there are no lingering issues to start the offseason program. Muasau stacked up 51 tackles (24 solo) and 1.0 sacks through 12 games in 2025. With the addition of fifth-overall pick Arvell Reese and free-agent acquisition Tremaine Edmunds, Muasau will compete for a depth role heading into the 2026 campaign.

Zvada was fantastic in his junior season at Michigan, connecting on 21 of 22 field-goal attempts (95.5 percent) while earning Big Ten Kicker of the Year honors. However, he struggled mightily as a senior, hitting just 17 of 25 field-goal tries (68.0 percent). Zvada is a longshot for the starting job while competing against Jason Sanders -- who hit 90 percent of field goals in 2025 -- and Ben Sauls -- who was perfect in three games as a rookie.

Pickens is headed to New York after having been waived by the Chiefs on Monday. The 26-year-old recorded five tackles (three solo) across three games with Kansas City last season and will likely compete for a depth role with the Giants.

Reader can earn an additional $3 million via incentives. The veteran defensive lineman will turn 32 years old this summer but started all 17 regular-season games with the Lions last season. Reader failed to record a sack in 2025, finishing with 28 tackles (11 solo) while playing 53 percent of the defensive snaps. Reader will help offset the loss of Dexter Lawrence in the middle of the Giants' defensive front.

Fotu will head to New York after recording 11 total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, over eight regular-season contests with the Texans and Raiders last year. The 28-year-old will provide the Giants with an additional veteran option at defensive tackle in 2026.

The Giants traded up with the Browns for the 74th pick in order to bring Fields into a wide receiver room that lost Wan'Dale Robinson to the Titans in free agency but features Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton. Fields spent the first four years of his college career with Virginia before transferring to Notre Dame in 2025, though he saw his production dip in his lone season with the Fighting Irish, finishing with 36 catches for 630 yards and five touchdowns across 12 games. Fields is a physical wideout with a 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame that he can use to his advantage against smaller corners, but he also displayed his speed with a 6.98-second three-cone time at the NFL Combine. He has the size and catch radius to serve as a competent WR2 for the Giants behind Nabers.

Kelly started all 25 games over his final two seasons at BYU and piled up 106 tackles, 23.5 tackles for loss, 15.0 sacks and four forced fumbles. He's smart and instinctive with serious physicality, and he's an intriguing athlete with a 4.57 40-yard dash despite being slightly undersized at 6-foot-2, 240 pounds. Kelly's high motor should command special-teams reps immediately while he continues to develop in a crowded linebackers room in New York.

Reese (6-foot-4, 241 pounds) is a high-upside prospect who has not yet fully arrived, but the confirmed details on Reese to this point are highly encouraging. Although it's not perfectly clear yet how he'll apply at the NFL level, there is sound reason to suspect that Reese will be one of the more uniquely productive defenders in the league not long from now. Reese won't turn 21 until August 30, yet last year he consistently stood out in an Ohio State defense overrun with star-level talent. With 4.46 speed and freaky range, Reese shows an uncommon amount of upside in all phases of linebacker play, which almost gets held against him since pass rush is valued so much more than off-ball run defense in the front seven. That Reese looks obviously capable as an off-ball linebacker isn't to say that he can't develop into a straightforward 3-4 edge rusher for the Giants in due time, and it's worth keeping that in mind because Reese's positional ambiguity is sooner due to being good at too many things than it is specific doubt over his ability to do any given thing. With the raw materials Reese possesses there's very little that he can't do.

Allen spent last season with the Titans and saw action in only one contest, a Week 18 loss to the Jaguars in which he completed 17 of 30 passes for 72 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Now, he'll reunite with New York's quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Brian Callahan while providing the team depth behind Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston.
