Giants Sign Jevon Holland to $45.3M Deal, Strengthening Secondary

The New York Giants bolster their defense with the addition of former Dolphins safety Jevon Holland and cornerback Paulson Adebo in free agency.

Jevon Holland, a 25-year-old safety, agreed to a three-year, $45.3 million contract with the New York Giants, with $30.3 million guaranteed and potential incentives increasing the deal to $46.8 million.
Holland, previously with the Miami Dolphins, has recorded 301 tackles, five interceptions, five sacks, and five forced fumbles over 60 career games but is coming off a career-low season in 2024.
The Giants also signed cornerback Paulson Adebo to a three-year, $54 million deal, addressing significant gaps in their secondary after setting an NFL record for most consecutive games without an interception last season.
Holland will pair with second-year safety Tyler Nubin, who had a promising rookie season with 97 tackles before undergoing ankle surgery late in the year.
The Miami Dolphins, facing salary cap constraints, replaced Holland with Ifeatu Melifonwu on a one-year, $4 million deal, though questions remain about his durability and starting potential.
