• Giants' Greg Newsome: Extended by New York

  Rotowire Nov 3, 2026

  The Giants signed Newsome (concussion) to a three-year $46 million extension with $32 million guaranteed, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz. Newsome signed with the Giants this past offseason on a one-year deal, but after just seven games, the 26-year-old played well enough to earn an extension. He has 25 tackles (17 solo), along with six pass deflections and one interception, through six games of the 2026 season.

• Giants' Greg Newsome: Won't play against Houston

  Rotowire Oct 23, 2026

  Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans. Newsome entered the league's concussion protocol during the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Saints, and he was held out of practice all week. The Giants are thin in the secondary, so one of Colton Hood or Nic Jones figure to start opposite Deonte Banks at outside cornerback. New York is on a bye for Week 8, so Newsome's next chance to play is Week 9 against Philadelphia on Sunday, Nov. 8.

• Giants' Greg Newsome: Joining Big Blue

  Rotowire Mar 10, 2026

  Newsome is slated to sign a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Following a 13-game stint (including playoffs) with the Jaguars, Newsome has found a new home in New York after spending his first four full NFL seasons with the Browns. Despite recording 32 total tackles and six passes defensed, including one interception, during his time in Jacksonville, the 2021 first-round pick struggled in coverage, allowing a 107.5 passer rating when targeted. However, he's shown flashes throughout his career, most notably during the 2023 season when he posted 49 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and 14 passes defensed, including two interceptions, while allowing a 74.8 passer rating when targeted. Now in New York, Newsome is expected to operate as one of the Giants' top boundary corners during the 2026 season.
