Giants 2024 free agency tracker: Offseason moves, signings
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — NFL free agency is off and running, and we’re keeping track of every major signing, trade and release of the 2024 offseason, with analysis from our NFL Nation reporters and grades from our experts. The new league year begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, which means free agent signings can be made official after that. The first round of the 2024 NFL draft begins April 25 on ESPN.
Here’s a breakdown of every 2024 NFL free agent signing by the New York Giants and how each will impact the upcoming season:
The Giants are bringing back their long snapper for the fifth straight season on a one-year deal.
What it means: He was expected to have options, but chose to remain in New York despite there being a new special teams coordinator. But his return keeps their kicking operation intact with kicker Graham Gano and punter/holder Jamie Gillan all under contract. We haven’t heard much about the Giants’ snaps in recent years. That’s generally a good thing. In this case, it’s because Kreiter is considered a high-end performer at the position.
What’s the risk: Very little. Kreiter is 33 years old. So he is getting older. But that is not anything overly concerning for a long snapper, especially considering he stays in good shape and had a career-best four special teams tackles last season.
