The New York Giants have restructured running back Devin Singletary's contract, ensuring he will remain with the team for the 2026 season. Singletary, who has been with the Giants for the past two seasons, will provide depth and experience in the backfield alongside star running back Cam Skattebo, who is expected to return from injury. The Giants also have Tyrone Tracy, who started in Skattebo's absence last year, rounding out a talented group of running backs for new head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to work with.
Why it matters
Retaining Singletary gives the Giants a proven, reliable backup option behind Skattebo, who is the team's lead back when healthy. This provides insurance in case of injury and allows the coaching staff to manage the workload of their top running backs. The Giants' running game is a key part of their offensive identity, so having depth and flexibility at the position is crucial.
The details
Singletary has appeared in 32 games for the Giants over the past two seasons, starting 6 of them. He has rushed for 874 yards and 9 touchdowns, while also contributing 270 receiving yards on 39 catches. In 2025, Singletary gained 437 yards and 5 touchdowns on 119 carries, adding 151 receiving yards on 18 receptions. With Skattebo expected to be the lead back, the Giants can utilize Singletary in short-yardage and goal-line situations, while also having him available to step in if needed.
- Singletary has been with the Giants for the past 2 seasons (2024-2025).
- The Giants restructured Singletary's contract in March 2026 to keep him on the team for the upcoming season.
