Giants Sign DT Jeremiah Ledbetter to One-Year Deal

The New York Giants have signed veteran defensive tackle Jeremiah Ledbetter to a one-year contract worth $1.775 million, which could exceed $2 million with incentives. Ledbetter, who began his career as a sixth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in 2017, had a career year with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024, recording 38 tackles and two sacks across 15 games. He adds valuable depth to the Giants' defensive line, projected to play a rotational role behind Dexter Lawrence. Previously, Ledbetter has also played for the Buccaneers, Lions, and Cardinals, contributing both on defense and special teams. His experience, including participation in the Buccaneers' Super Bowl LV victory, bolsters the Giants' defensive front. This signing comes as part of a broader effort by the Giants to strengthen their defensive line.
