The New York Giants have decided to bring back a key player for the 2025 NFL season after seeing enough of his contributions in 2024. While this player isn’t known for his receiving skills, he has proven to be an invaluable asset on the field.
His strength lies in his blocking abilities, which are vital to the team’s offensive line, ensuring both pass and run protection are top-notch. The Giants are eager to see more of the same from him next season.

According to SI’s Geoff Magliocchetti, the Giants have re-signed this veteran player for the upcoming year, with NBC Sports’ Charean Williams reporting that the contract is for one year.
While his stats last season were modest—just three catches for 30 yards and one touchdown over 17 games—his importance in other areas of the game is undeniable. His ability to create space and protect the quarterback is crucial for the team’s success.
In 2024, he started 11 games and was listed behind a couple of younger tight ends on the depth chart. However, despite being considered second in line, he tied for the most starts at the position. His role may not revolve around catching passes, but his work at the line of scrimmage is what keeps the offense running smoothly. The Giants are clearly relying on his experience and leadership.
Looking ahead to 2025, he will continue to play a pivotal role in the offensive scheme, working alongside the team’s emerging talent. While the spotlight may be on the more flashy players, the Giants know that his steady blocking and reliability are what keep their offense functioning at a high level. Expect to see him continue to make an impact where it matters most.
