The New York Giants will not receive any compensatory selections in the 2026 NFL draft when the league makes the announcement next month, projects Over the Cap.
Their 2025 free-agent spending spree will prove to be even more costly as they signed six qualifying free agents and lost only one last season.
The Giants brought in cornerback Paulson Adebo, safety Jevon Holland, offensive lineman James Hudson III, linebacker Chauncy Golston, and quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, and lost only linebacker Azeez Ojulari in free agency.
Wilson was brought in on a one-year deal and is not expected to be re-signed, while Hudson could be a cap casualty this offseason after an erratic 2025 showing.
The Giants also lost three non-qualifying players in free agency — safety Jason Pinnock, cornerback Adoree Jackson, and quarterback Drew Lock — while adding two in linebacker Chris Board and defensive end Jeremiah Ledbetter.
