The move makes a ton of sense given that Olszewski is a reliable returner and John Harbaugh is a special teams coach at heart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Olszewski averaged 9.0 yards per return on punts and 26.2 yards per kick return last year. He also got involved with the Giants\u2019 passing game after the receiving corps was hit by injuries. He caught 10 passes on 13 targets for 145 yards and a touchdown, all career highs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Gunner showed some chemistry with Jaxson Dart, and while he should be expected to remain a fixture on special teams, he may see a role on offense as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Retaining Olszewski keeps a valuable piece of the Giants special teams as well as a useful depth piece. There\u2019s a lot of work still to be done, but it\u2019s a good start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The decision to being Olszewski back is the Giants first signing of the 2026.
