Giants Signing CB Greg Newsome II To One-Year Deal

According to Jordan Schultz, the Giants are signing CB Greg Newsome II to a one-year deal. 

It gives the former first-round pick a chance to reset his market in 2027 if he has a good year. The Browns traded him to the Jaguars midseason last year and he had a tough time finding his stride. 

Newsome, 25, was a three-year starter at Northwestern and a first-team All-Big Ten selection as a junior. He declared for the 2021 NFL Draft after his junior season and was selected by the Browns with the No. 26 pick. 

He played out the fourth year of a four-year, $12,748,736 with the Browns that included a $6,631,808 signing bonus. The Browns picked up his fifth-year option for the 2025 season worth $13.377 million fully guaranteed.

He was traded to Jacksonville with a 2026 sixth-round pick in exchange for CB Tyson Campbell and a 2026 seventh-round pick. 

In 2025, Newsome appeared in five games for the Browns and 12 games for the Jaguars. He recorded 52 total tackles, two tackles for loss, one interception and nine pass deflections.
