Jamie Gillan signing: ‘Scottish Hammer’ back with New York Giants

Giants keep the left-footed punter

Punter Jamie Gillan is returning to the New York Giants on three-year contract worth up to $10.2 million, per NFL insider Tom Pelissero.

The left-footed ‘Scottish Hammer’ is entering his seventh NFL season. He has been with the Giants since 2022.

Gillan, 27, averaged a career-low 43.7 yards per punt in 2024, but missed four games with a leg injury. He had career-bests in touchback percentage (3.6) and punts downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line (48.2%).

The Giants have now signed both Gillan and veteran long-snapper Casey Kreiter, two key special teams players.
