Overview

  • The Giants agreed to terms with long snapper Zach Triner to fill the vacancy created when Casey Kreiter left in free agency for the Cardinals.
  • Triner served as the Buccaneers' long snapper from 2019 to 2024 after entering the NFL in 2019.
  • In recent seasons he logged short stints with the Dolphins, Commanders, Broncos and Falcons, including one appearance for Washington last year.
  • New York is reworking special teams, with Jordan Stout replacing Jamie Gillan at punter, kickers Jason Sanders and Ben Sauls set to compete, and linebacker Cam Jones added for coverage depth.
  • Long snappers deliver the ball on punts and kicks with precise speed and placement, so a change at the position can alter timing for the holder, kicker and punter.
