According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Giants signed former Miami Dolphins free safety Jevón Holland to a three-year, $45.3 million deal, worth up to $46.8 million, and $30.3 million guaranteed. Holland’s $15.1 million APY makes him the eighth-highest-paid safety in the NFL per Over The Cap. After losing Xavier McKinney to the Green Bay Packers last offseason, the team finally upgraded the safety position with a high-quality replacement.
