The Giants have made many moves this offseason. They started off by extending quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year $160 million contract.

They then franchise-tagged running back Saquon Barkley for the 2023 season.

Their biggest move was trading for Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller. They sent the Raiders a third-round pick in return. They added wide receiver Parris Campbell from the Colts and re-signed a bunch of other key players.

The Giants have been busy and aggressive early on in free agency, and hope to get further in the playoffs next season.
