Giants' Top Picks Arvell Reese and Francis Mauigoa Still Unsigned

The holdouts reflect standard rookie contract haggling over deal language.

Overview

  • New York has signed four of seven draft picks, while first‑rounders Arvell Reese and Francis Mauigoa and second‑round cornerback Colton Hood have yet to finalize deals, which coverage describes as routine fine‑print talks.
  • Reese went No. 5 overall and Mauigoa went No. 10 using the pick the Giants acquired by trading defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals.
  • General manager Joe Schoen called landing both players a “pipe dream,” and coach John Harbaugh celebrated in the draft room when each selection came through.
  • Reports describe Reese as a versatile linebacker who can rush the passer or drop in coverage.
  • Mauigoa is viewed as one of the premier tackles in the class who is expected to protect quarterback Jaxson Dart and bolster the run game.
