Giants Bring Back Micah McFadden on One-Year Deal as Linebacker Overhaul Continues

The incentive-heavy one-year pact lets the new staff evaluate his post-injury form without sacrificing roster flexibility.

Overview

  • Micah McFadden re-signed on a one-year deal and said he is healthy, expecting no limitations when offseason workouts begin.
  • Reported terms include a $3.75 million base with incentives up to $5.75 million and $2.9 million guaranteed.
  • McFadden missed nearly all of 2025 after a Week 1 Lisfranc injury but posted back-to-back 100-plus tackle seasons in 2023 and 2024.
  • He returns alongside new addition Tremaine Edmunds, who signed for three years and $36 million after the Giants released captain Bobby Okereke to create cap space.
  • Under new coach John Harbaugh and coordinator Dennard Wilson, New York keeps options open for more linebacker competition, with analysts saying the signing does not preclude drafting a prospect like Ohio State’s Sonny Styles.
