New York Giants signing DT Jeremiah Ledbetter

[ASFN Admin]

The New York Giants continued adding to their defensive line depth on Friday with the addition of former Jacksonville Jaguars tackle Jeremiah Ledbetter on a one-year deal worth $1.775 million with incentives that can stretch the deal to $2 million.

From Pro Football Talk:

Ledbetter spent the last three seasons with the Jaguars. He only made one appearance in 2022, but played in 32 games the last two years and had 62 tackles, two sacks, a fumble recovery, and a pass defensed. He’s also seen time with the Lions and Buccaneers.

Ledbetter, 30, was a sixth-round pick (205th overall) of the Detroit Lions out of Arkansas back in 2017. He played one season for the Lions before moving onto the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baltimore Ravens, spending time on both team's practice squads. In 2022, Ledbetter caught on with Jacksonville where he was a rotational player.

The Giants came into the offseason seeking help along the defensive line and now have 11 linemen on their roster: Dexter Lawrence, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, Elijah Chatman, D.J. Davidson, Jordon Riley, Cory Durden, Elijah Garcia, Casey Rogers, Ross Blacklock, Ledbetter and the recently signed Roy Robertson-Harris.
