Giants Sign Cornerback Paulson Adebo to Address Defensive Needs

The New York Giants have signed cornerback Paulson Adebo to enhance their struggling secondary, addressing a critical need as NFL free agency begins. Adebo, who spent four seasons with the New Orleans Saints, has recorded 10 interceptions over 52 games and is expected to start alongside Deonte Banks, who faced challenges in his second season. At just 25 years old, Adebo's 2024 season was cut short due to a femur injury, but he showcased his abilities with three interceptions in seven games last season. The Giants are eager for Adebo to improve their defensive performance after ranking poorly in pass defense metrics last year. While contract details have not been disclosed, reports indicate this will be one of the larger cornerback deals of the offseason. Adebo's addition reflects the Giants' urgency to bolster their defense amid disappointing performances from recent draft picks.
