Giants Sign Third-Round D-Lineman Alexander to Rookie Deal

News summary

The New York Giants have signed their third-round draft pick, defensive lineman Darius Alexander, to a four-year rookie contract worth approximately $6.7 million, leaving only fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo unsigned from their 2025 draft class. Alexander, a 3-technique defensive tackle from Toledo, is expected to play extensively alongside All-Pro Dexter Lawrence and bolster the Giants' defensive front, particularly in run defense and interior pass rush. The Giants see Alexander, with his combination of athleticism, power, and scheme versatility, as a key addition to their defense, complementing other top players like Abdul Carter, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Alexander has emphasized trusting the coaching staff and veteran players while focusing on effort as keys to his NFL success. Meanwhile, the Giants face a tough 2025 season with a challenging schedule and offensive struggles, especially at quarterback, where rookie Jaxson Dart may take over late in the year as part of a rebuilding effort. Head coach Brian Daboll's job security depends on improvement, with a minimum seven-win season likely needed to avoid major changes.
