The New York Giants are preparing for a crucial free agency, tasking general manager Joe Schoen with building a proper supporting cast for his next quarterback. Whether it’s a veteran pushing off retirement or a rookie hoping to save everyone’s jobs, he’ll need the best free agency of Schoen’s tenure to have a successful 2025 campaign.
There are big swings to take, but an underrated part of New York’s offseason will be ensuring its depth and special teams are ready to compete.
Hence, the team re-signed long snapper Casey Kreiter to a one-year deal, locking in a key piece of the special teams operation.
On Saturday, the Giants made two more special teams signings ahead of free agency.
New York re-signed punter Jamie Gillan and tight end Chris Manhertz, both of whom were set to hit unrestricted free agency on Wednesday after the end of the legal tampering period.
Gillan’s deal is for three years with an average annual value of $3 million. According to Jordan Raanan, incentives can take that up to $10.2 million and $4 million is guaranteed.
