The New York Giants have lost another member of the 2022 NFL Draft class, as safety Dane Belton has agreed to terms with the New York Jets.
Belton has been a key contributor for the Giants on special teams as well as a consistent contributor on the defensive side of the ball. While Belton was never able to be a consistent starter for the Giants, he has a playmaker’s instincts, with 6 interceptions, 16 passes defensed, 4 forced fumbles, and 4.0 sacks over the last four years.
Belton is a good blitzing safety whose best fit is close to the line of scrimmage. He’s a good blitzing safety and has a chance to earn a starting job in Aaron Glenn’s defense for the Jets.
Belton is the fourth member of Joe Schoen’s first draft class to depart in this year’s free agency, and possibly the fourth to earn a starting job elsewhere.
