Jalen Mills - Signs one-year pact with G-Men The Giants signed Mills to a one-year contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Mills turns 30 next month and is coming off a three-year stint with the Patriots after spending the first five years of his career in Philly. Mills appeared in all 17 games last season, making eight starts, and finishing with 45 tackles (26 solo), one pass breakup and one forced fumble on just 40 percent of the defensive snaps. Mills figures to compete for the starting safety job alongside Jason Pinnock.

Giants agree to deal with quarterback Drew Lock, AP source says
Drew Lock is going to join the New York Giants and compete for what might be the starting job at quarterback when the season gets underwayMARCH 12 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Drew Lock - Joining Giants Lock and the Giants have reached agreement on a contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Lock joins a quarterback room with Daniel Jones (knee), Tommy DeVito and Jacob Eason, after former Giant Tyrod Taylor reached an agreement with the Jets on Monday. It's a situation that strongly favors Lock for the No. 2 QB job, though the Giants may not be done making additions/subtractions to the group, with the upcoming NFL Draft offering potential to add a long-term replacement for Jones (who is rehabbing an ACL tear). Lock made four appearances for Seattle in 2023, including two starts, completing 48 of 76 passes (63.2) for 543 yards (7.1 YPA), three touchdowns and three interceptions. He never panned out as a starter in Denver after going in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, but Lock at least looks like the part of a high-end backup after his moderately successful cameo with the Seahawks last year.

Jon Runyan - Joining Giants The Giants plan to sign Runyan to a three-year, $30 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Runyan hasn't missed a game since he was drafted in the sixth round by Green Bay in 2020, so the Giants are expecting to get stability at one of their guard spots for the future. He likely fits best at right guard with the Giants.

Brian Burns - Traded to Giants, signing huge deal The Giants are acquiring Burns in a trade with the Panthers and signing him to a five-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The initial report has it as a $150 million contract, with the Giants sending second-and fifth-round picks to Carolina for the right to make Burns one of the highest-paid non-QBs in league history. The 2019 first-round pick has been both durable and consistent, recording at least 7.5 sacks every season while missing just three games. He's never had the kind of dominant campaign that other defenders with similar contracts have all produced, but it's possible that lies ahead with Burns heading into his age-26 campaign. It's also possible the contract numbers initially reported are inflated with incentives or other money that's unlikely to actually end up in his pocket. Either way, the Giants now have the fastest pair of edge rushers in the league with Burns (4.53 40) joining 2022 fifth overall pick Kayvon Thibodeaux (4.58), who had 11.5 sacks in 2023.
