The New York Giants have re-signed offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor to a three-year, $39 million contract with $26 million guaranteed. Eluemunor, 31, has been a reliable starter at right tackle for the Giants since joining the team in 2024 and is seen as a key piece of the offensive line moving forward.

Why it matters

Retaining Eluemunor provides much-needed continuity for the Giants' offensive line as the team looks to build around new head coach John Harbaugh. With the departures of other key free agents like Wan'Dale Robinson and Cor'Dale Flott, keeping Eluemunor in the fold was a priority for the Giants this offseason.

The details

Eluemunor joined the Giants in 2024 on a two-year, $14 million contract and quickly became a reliable starter at right tackle. In 2025, he played all 16 games, surpassing 1,000 snaps for the first time in his career while allowing just 19 pressures and four sacks. His strong pass-blocking graded him 20th among 89 tackles by Pro Football Focus, and he expressed confidence in his abilities, stating he believes he is the best right tackle in the league.
