| 3/16/25 | New York Giants Get Above-average Value on These Two Free-agent Moves . The New York Giants' initial free agency haul saw the team address several glaring needs in the defensive secondary, the defensive line, the offensive line, and special teams, which was enough to earn the club a grade of B from Pro Football Focus. Of the seven deals, only two, those of cornerback Paulson Adebo and receiver Darius Slayton, were graded “above average,” the average based on what kind of contract PFF estimated for the player. Of Slayton, whose return to the Giants surprised many people, PFF had projected a 2-year, $36 million ($18 million APY) deal. Slayton's actual contract was for 3 years and $40 million ($13.3 million APY), which made it something of a bargain for a receiver who has posted at least 600 receiving yards in four of the past five seasons and has at least 17 explosive plays in five of the last six.
