He made the active roster as a rookie and started the final three games, showing early promise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In 2025, Kubas competed for the starting right guard job in training camp but couldn&#8217;t unseat veteran Greg Van Roten. With Aaron Stinnie and Evan Neal serving as backup guards, Kubas spent the entire season on the practice squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After the season ended, the Giants gave him time to explore options elsewhere, but he chose to re-sign. The futures deal places him on the 90-man offseason roster, providing another opportunity to compete for a role along the interior offensive line as the team rebuilds depth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Kubas is the seventh player to sign a reserve\/future deal, joining the following:<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a>TE Tanner ConnerOL Reid HolskeyLB Trace FordLB Swayze BozemanCB Myles PurchaseS Patrick McMorrisOL Jake Kubas<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">More signings are expected.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1767869709_79_86373428007-square-1.jpg\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan. 8, 2026, 5:07 a.m. ET The New York Giants signed offensive lineman Jake Kubas to a reserve\/future&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663579,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2067],"tags":[95878,7,519,1917,56,2321,2469,6,96069,96070,95882,95891,95895,95906,96071,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-663578","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-giants","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-giants","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkgiants","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-sstssportsnflgiants","17":"tag-sstsngiants","18":"tag-tagamerican-football","19":"tag-tagnew-york-giants","20":"tag-tagnfl-hub","21":"tag-tagoverall-positive","22":"tag-tagsmg-timely","23":"tag-tagsports-news","24":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115859117072007294","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
