The New York Giants have re-signed offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor to a three-year, $39 million contract, with $26 million in guaranteed money. Eluemunor, who enjoyed a career resurgence in his two seasons with the Giants, was set to hit free agency along with wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and cornerback Cor'Dale Flott. By retaining Eluemunor, the Giants avoided the potential blow of losing all three key players in free agency.

Why it matters

Eluemunor's return provides stability and continuity on the Giants' offensive line, which was a strength of the team in 2024 and 2025. Keeping Eluemunor, who graded out as one of the top pass-protecting right tackles in the league, was crucial for the Giants as they look to build on their recent success.

The details

Eluemunor, a 2017 fifth-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens, joined the Giants in 2024 on a bargain two-year, $14 million deal. He started 31 games over the past two seasons and was a key part of the Giants' offensive line. With the new three-year contract, Eluemunor will be paid more in line with his performance and value to the team.

  • Eluemunor joined the Giants in 2024 on a two-year, $14 million deal.
  • The new three-year, $39 million contract was signed on March 9, 2026, the first day of NFL free agency.
