Overview

  • The deal is reported at up to $10 million for 2026 per Adam Schefter and Newsome’s agents, while an SNY report cites $8 million with $3 million guaranteed.
  • The agreement came during the NFL’s legal tampering period and is not official until the league year opens Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.
  • Newsome, 25, was a 2021 first-round pick who was traded from the Browns to the Jaguars in October 2025 and logged 29 tackles, six pass breakups and one interception in 12 games for Jacksonville.
  • Advanced metrics reflected a downturn last season, including a 99.1 passer rating allowed per NextGen Stats and lower Pro Football Focus grades after the midseason trade.
  • He brings outside and slot experience and is expected to compete for a starting role opposite Paulson Adebo as the Giants continue evaluating additional cornerback options.
