The New York Giants are re-signing versatile offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor to a three-year deal, having staved off interest from contenders like the Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns.
Eluemunor, who joined the Giants in 2024 and solidified his role as a dependable starter at right tackle, agreed to terms on a contract valued at $39 million with $26 million guaranteed. The 31-year-old played all 16 games in the 2025 season, surpassing 1,000 snaps for the first time in his career while allowing just 19 pressures and four sacks, earning solid pass-blocking grades.
The Giants prioritized retaining key unrestricted free agents this offseason to maintain offensive line continuity, and Eluemunor’s return represents a significant win amid losses elsewhere.
The Cleveland Browns viewed him as a potential starting left tackle but missed out, while the Chiefs also pursued him aggressively before he chose to stay in New York.
The agreement stands out as a bargain for the Giants, securing a proven starter at a reasonable cost relative to his performance and experience across multiple teams. Eluemunor expressed his enthusiasm shortly after the deal, sharing his commitment and excitement about continuing with the organization.
