According to reports, the New York Giants have agreed to terms with cornerback Greg Newsome II, pending a physical.
The 6-foot, 192-pound cornerback has played in 71 games with 58 starts for the Cleveland Browns (2021-2025) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2025), and has totaled 207 tackles (163 solo), six tackles for loss, two quarterback hits, one sack, four interceptions (one of which he returned for a touchdown), and 43 passes defensed.
Originally the 26th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Newsome started 11 games for the Browns as a rookie. He finished his first NFL season with nine pass breakups and was named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team.
His best overall campaign was in 2023 when he played in 14 games (13 starts) for Cleveland and registered career-highs in interceptions (two), passes defensed (14) and tackles for loss (four).
In early October of 2025, Newsome was traded to the Jaguars, where he went on to play 12 games (11 starts) and recorded 29 tackles (23 solo), one interception and six passes defensed.
Prior to being drafted, Newsome played three seasons at Northwestern from 2018-2020. In 15 games over his final two seasons with the Wildcats, the young corner totaled 20 pass breakups. Newsome was named first-team All-Big Ten as a junior in 2020.
