The Giants will get back to work next Monday and they added a linebacker to their roster ahead of the start of the voluntary portion of their offseason schedule.

According to multiple reports, they have signed Matthew Adams to their 90-man roster. There's no word on the terms of the deal.

Adams made one start while playing in every game for the Browns last season and was a core member of their special teams units. He had 17 tackles and a forced fumble in those appearances.

The Colts drafted Adams in the seventh round in 2018 and he spent four years with them before moving on to the Bears in 2022.

Special teams guy. Was Colts ST captain in the past (drafted r7 2018 by them) and a good locker room guy. He is still playing special teams at a high level. Also taken snaps as a back-up with a few career starts but he's really not LB depth in any meaningful way.

We have made several veteran minimum or similar acquisitions for ST who will have to fight in camp with holdovers, late draftees and UDFAs but as a minimum these proven veterans set the floor others have to rise above to make the roster.
If you live your life as a pessimist you never really live your life at all.
