Joshua Ezeudu gets Giants second chance with one-year contract
NY Post
John Harbaugh could have looked at two offensive linemen the Giants selected in the 2022 draft, reviewed their performance on the field the past four years, said “No thanks,’’ and no one would have given him a hard time about it.
Instead, John Harbaugh is leaning into the clean-slate mindset he said he would have, as far as being open to working with players who someone else might have dismissed. The Giants on Tuesday brought back Joshua Ezeudu on a one-year contract, The Post confirmed, just as last week they re-signed Evan Neal to a one-year deal.
Both players endured struggles, and both will receive a second chance with the Giants.
Ezeudu, a third-round pick, played in 33 games but made only 10 starts. He spent the entire 2025 season on injured reserve with a calf issue. He was mostly a guard in college at North Carolina, but the Giants saw him as a tackle. He ended up starting seven games at left tackle, filling in when Andrew Thomas went down to injuries.
Ezeudu had plenty of rough moments.
This is a return to see if Ezeudu can find a place on the roster as a backup. He is viewed as a possible reserve at every spot on the offensive line other than center. At this point, Ezeudu is the fourth tackle, behind Thomas, Jermaine Eluemunor and Marcus Mbow.
SAINT PAUL, Minn. — With the Rangers hovering over the bottom of the NHL standings, it’s easy to root for whatever outcome would most likely lead to general manager Chris Drury announcing Gavin McKenna’s name on the draft stage at KeyBank Center in Buffalo this June.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — When the Rangers started the 2025-26 season, Noah Laba and Matthew Robertson were the only first-year players on the Opening Night roster.
SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
