Overview

  • Jevon Holland agreed to a three-year, $45.3 million contract with the New York Giants, which includes $30.3 million guaranteed and up to $46.8 million with incentives.
  • Holland, a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, spent four seasons with the Miami Dolphins, tallying 301 tackles, five interceptions, and five sacks across 60 games.
  • Despite a career-low 62 tackles and no interceptions in 2024, the Giants are betting on Holland returning to form after recovering from previous knee injuries.
  • Holland is the latest addition to a revamped Giants defense, joining cornerback Paulson Adebo and defensive linemen Chauncey Golston and Roy Robertson-Harris in free agency.
  • The Dolphins opted not to retain Holland due to salary cap constraints, marking another departure of a homegrown player from their roster.
