Giants could look to Philly to add to their defensive backfield
The New York Giants are expected to be aggressive in the cornerback market once the free agency negotiating period begins Monday at noon. One player expected to be on the Giants’ radar is Philadelphia Eagles’ cornerback Isaiah Rodgers.
Rodgers, 27, is a four-year veteran who was a sixth-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2020. He played three seasons for Indianapolis, and sat out the 2023 season due to a violation of the NFL’s gambling policy.
Rodgers played in 15 games with three starts for the Eagles in 2024. In his career, he has played in 60 regular-season games with 13 starts.
Though he is only 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, Rodgers has been almost exclusively a wide cornerback. He has 1,295 snaps playing outside, per Pro Football Focus, with only 49 career snaps in the slot.
While Rodgers profiles more as a depth signing, the Giants do figure to also look for help at the top of the cornerback market.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers are all expected to be in play for Rodgers.
