Overview
- The Giants were awarded Beau Brade on Aug. 27 using their No. 3 waiver priority after initially carrying only three safeties on the 53-man roster.
- Brade, a 2024 undrafted Maryland product, appeared in 11 games last season for Baltimore with 207 special-teams snaps and limited defensive work.
- New York’s safety group currently consists of Jevon Holland, Tyler Nubin and Dane Belton, so activating Brade will require a corresponding roster move.
- Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said Baltimore hoped to keep Brade on the practice squad and attributed his release to the team’s depth at defensive back.
- The Giants also claimed defensive back Rico Payton, and the Titans used top waiver priority to grab former Ravens cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis, underscoring the post-cutdown reshuffle across secondaries.
