The New York Giants added a solid player who will greatly help defense and special teams for the upcoming season. The Giants continue to add to their offseason roster so they can carry 90 players for their offseason workouts.
The New York Giants look to improve in 2024
The Giants are looking to improve from their 6-11 season a year ago. The team has the No. 6 pick in the draft, and they’re expected to use it to help boost the offense long-term. The Giants still need to rely on defense and special teams if they want to get back to the playoffs in head coach Brian Daboll’s third season.
The Giants signed Matthew Adams
The Giants added a player who was crucial in helping the Browns out on special teams last season. Per a statement by the Giants, the team signed linebacker Matthew Adams on Friday:
“The 6-foot, 230-pound Houston product has played in 85 games and made 13 starts for the Browns (2023), Bears (2022), and Colts (2018-21), who originally selected him in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft. His career number include 98 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. Adams has also appeared in four postseason games, including one last season in Cleveland.
In 2023, Adams suited up for all 17 games and led the Browns with 435 plays on special teams, where he forced a fumble on a Jets kickoff return during a Week 17 victory.”
