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.

The 32-year-old has spent each of the last two seasons in Baltimore, appearing in just six regular-season games while splitting time between the practice squad and active roster. Now with the Giants, Tupou will likely compete for a reserve role along the defensive line as the offseason progresses.

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.

Dunleavy previously reported that Thibodeaux was less likely to be traded by the Giants following the trade of Dexter Lawrence in April. Now, Thibodeaux appears back to full health after a shoulder injury forced him to miss the final seven games of the 2025 season. He's aiming for a bounce-back season, as he produced just 7.0 sacks over his last two seasons combined (22 games). There's plenty of talent to work with, however, as he generated 11.5 sacks during the 2023 campaign.

Nubin finished the 2025 season on injured reserve due to a neck injury. The 2024 second-round pick impressed through his first two seasons, recording 176 tackles (106 solo) and three pass breakups through 26 games. He'll likely start at strong safety once again in 2026, although the addition of Jason Pinnock -- a starter for the Giants in 2023 and 2024 -- represents some level of competition.

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.

New York had high expectations for Banks when the team selected him in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but the Maryland product has largely disappointed. Banks has managed to stay mostly healthy during his first three NFL campaigns, playing in 45 of a possible 51 regular-season games, but after starting every contest in which he participated from 2023-24, he logged just six starts over 16 contests last year. Banks appears set to compete for playing time with second-round pick Colton Hood and free-agent acquisition Greg Newsome during the upcoming season.

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.
