Multiple sources confirmed Tuesday that the New York Giants have reached agreement with cornerback Greg Newsome II on a one-year deal that could reach $10 million in value.
The 25-year-old defensive back entered the NFL as Cleveland’s first-round selection in 2021 before being dealt to Jacksonville this past October. The Browns received cornerback Tyson Campbell and exchanged late-round draft selections in that trade. Newsome hit free agency when the season concluded.
During the 2024 campaign, Newsome appeared in 17 contests with 16 starting assignments split between Cleveland and Jacksonville, recording 29 total tackles along with one interception and six pass breakups.
Across his four-year professional career spanning 71 games with 58 starts, Newsome has accumulated 207 tackles, one quarterback sack, and four interceptions, including one returned for a score.
The signing addresses a significant need for New York after losing Cor’Dale Flott, who chose to join Tennessee on Monday with a three-year, $45 million agreement rather than return to the Giants.
