With mid-July fast approaching, we're looking at what Eagles fans should know about the New York Giants before training camp begins.
The Eagles have one of the youngest teams in the NFL after several key departures and the retirement of Brandon Graham during the offseason. Such attrition provides the opportunity for younger players on the roster to assume larger roles while creating another Super Bowl window for a team that'll have new starters at several key defensive positions.
Over the next two weeks, we will conduct mini-previews of four NFC East teams as they begin reporting for training camp, with the Giants' rookies set to report a week from Tuesday. Washington is next, with Philadelphia reporting on July 21 and Dallas reporting on July 22.
With mid-July fast approaching, we're looking at what Eagles fans should know about the New York Giants before training camp begins.
Giants' external free agency or trade additions this offseason:
Lil'Jordan Humphrey, WR
Victor Dimukeje, LB
Jeremiah Ledbetter, DT
Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, LB
Greg Van Roten, G
Stone Forsythe, OT
Chauncey Golston, DE
Jevon Holland, S
The secondary will have a much different look this season with big-money additions in Holland and cornerback Paulson Adebo. Holland, 25, is a young, aggressive player known for being a good guy in the locker room.
Chris Board, LB
James Hudson III, OT
Roy Robertson-Harris, DT
Paulson Adebo, CB
Adebo had 10 passes defended in just 262 coverage snaps last year before breaking a femur. He's just 25, which provides hope that he can continue to grow, and there's a chance he will develop into a true shutdown corner.
QB Jameis Winston
Winston is one of nine players in NFL history to throw for 5,000 yards in a season. He did so in 2019 when he became the first player in NFL history to pass for at least 450 yards in consecutive contests.
QB Russell Wilson
Wilson, 36, has started 199 regular-season games with the Seahawks (2012-21), Broncos (2022-23), and Steelers (2024). His 99.8 career passer rating ranks fifth in NFL history (minimum 1,500 pass attempts).
Wilson is 121-77-1 as a starter in the regular season and 9-8 in the postseason, including two Super Bowl appearances. Wilson won Super Bowl XLVIII with the Seahawks, a 43-8 victory over the Broncos, at MetLife Stadium.
LB VICTOR DIMUKEJE
Dimukeje, 6-foot-2 and 262 pounds has played in 55 games with eight starts since being drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Giants key weapons
The New York Giants' key offensive weapons for the 2025 season include quarterback Russell Wilson, running backs Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Cam Skattebo, and wide receivers Darius Slayton and Malik Nabers. Defensively, Jevon Holland and Paulson Adebo are expected to be key players in the secondary.
Will the Giants' free agency additions pan out?
Jevon Holland, Russell Wilson, and Paulson Adebo were the big-name free-agent additions, and even with the Giants drafting Jaxson Dart in Round 1, Daboll's job status depends on the veteran quarterback.
How did the Giants approach the 2025 NFL draft?
The New York Giants had seven picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Here's a breakdown of their selections: Abdul Carter was considered one of the best players in the draft and will bolster the Giants' already strong defensive front. The Giants traded up to acquire Dart, a talented quarterback with potential as a franchise player. The Giants aimed to improve their defensive line depth with Darius Alexander, a good run defender. Cam Skattebo is a versatile running back, strong in the red zone and capable of breaking tackles.
When does training camp for the New York Giants begin?
The New York Giants 2025 training camp will begin with rookies reporting on July 15th and veterans on July 22nd, with the first open practice scheduled for July 23rd. The public will be able to reserve tickets starting July 10th. The team will hold 11 practices open to the public at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, NJ. The final open practice will be a joint practice with the New York Jets on Wednesday, August 13th.
