Giants Sign Six to Reserve/Future Contracts, Including OLB Trace Ford

The deals secure developmental depth for the 2026 offseason without affecting roster or cap limits until March.

Overview

  • New York finalized six reserve/future signings on January 5: Swayze Bozeman, Tanner Conner, Trace Ford, Reid Holskey, Patrick McMorris, and Myles Purchase.
  • Reserve/future contracts lock players to the team for the upcoming league year and do not count against roster or salary cap limits until the new league year begins in March.
  • Undrafted outside linebacker Trace Ford, a standout in OTAs and camp who spent time on the practice squad, has yet to make a regular-season appearance.
  • Linebacker Swayze Bozeman, who played six games in 2025, recorded six tackles over 139 snaps, with most of his work coming on special teams.
  • Ford enters a crowded outside linebacker group headlined by Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns, with potential competition shifts to be determined by Victor Dimukeje’s unrestricted free agency and Tomon Fox’s restricted status.
