Giants Sign OT James Hudson III to Two-Year Deal

The New York Giants have signed offensive tackle James Hudson III to a two-year, $12 million deal, with the potential for an additional $4 million in incentives based on playing time. Hudson, who had a challenging tenure with the Cleveland Browns, started only 17 games over four seasons, often stepping in during injury crises but spent much of last season sidelined due to a shoulder injury. The Giants are looking to bolster their offensive line depth, as Hudson is expected to compete for the swing tackle position against Evan Neal and Jermaine Eluemunor. Hudson was a fourth-round draft pick in 2021 from Cincinnati and has shown potential, although he has yet to fully realize it in his NFL career. His signing comes as the Giants prepare for possible strategic moves in the upcoming NFL Draft. The departure of Hudson leaves the Browns needing to address their offensive line depth immediately.
