New York Giants ink 13 undrafted free agents before start of rookie minicamp
The New York Giants signed 13 undrafted free agents before their rookie minicamp on Friday.
Those players are as follows:
RB Rushawn Baker, Elon
WR Jordan Bly, Gardner-Webb
WR Dalen Cambre, Louisiana
WR Beaux Collins, Notre Dame
CB RJ Delancy III, Wisconsin
WR Da'Quan Felton, Virginia Tech
OLB Trace Ford, Oklahoma
CB O'Donnell Fortune, South Carolina
S Tommy McCormick, Idaho
S Makari Paige, Michigan
TE Jermaine Terry II, Oregon State
WR Antwane Wells Jr., Ole Miss
OL Jaison Williams, Youngstown State
The Giants brought a total of 80 players to their minicamp -- their seven draft picks, 13 UDFAs, two players already on their 90-man roster, along with 58 tryout players.
The Giants are still looking for depth at wide receiver, so that explains why five of the 13 players signed are wideouts.
Virginia Tech's Da'Quan Felton is perhaps the most intriguing at 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds. He ran a 4.5 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in February.
"I'm excited to see how this team comes together," general manager Joe Schoen said after the draft. "I like the players that we have. I like the makeup of the players. I'm confident in the coaching staff, and I'm excited for the 2025 season."
With 13 rookies signed, the Giants need to clear two spots on the 90-man roster. One of those will become accounted for by the release of defensive lineman Casey Rogers.

Ex-NFL receiver Golden Tate details how Jalen Ramsey's treatment of his pregnant sister led to fight
For the first time since their on-field clash in 2020, former NFL receiver Golden Tate gave more insight into his public feud with current Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Tate made an appearance on the "Bussin' with the Boys" podcast, where he told co-hosts Taylor Lewan and Will Compton, former NFL players themselves, about what led to him and Ramsey getting into an altercation on the field in 2020. Tate was playing for the New York Giants in what would be his final NFL season after 11 years, when they were slated to face Ramsey and the Los Angeles Rams. For context, Ramsey had previously dated one of Tate's twin sisters, and their relationship ended when she was pregnant with their second child. "Now things happened within that relationship where I don't think my sister was done or treated the way she should have been treated," Tate said on the podcast. "And when that happens, who you gotta come see? You gotta come see big bro." The feud began to heat up when Tate responded to a fan who tweeted at him in October 2019 after a picture of Ramsey and his new girlfriend went public. The fan wrote, "If I was @ShowtimeTate I would have words with this young fella," in reference to Ramsey. "He know he gonna have to see me," Tate said. Well, that meeting was on an NFL field when the Giants traveled to Los Angeles to face the Rams. Tate said he and Ramsey began going back and forth almost immediately. "We get out there, and right away, first one, he's overly jamming me, and I'm like, 'OK, this is how we're going to do," Tate said. "… What I do, I cannot cost my team a penalty or cost myself any money, so that's in my back pocket. I'm not going to do that because that's selfish, but I'm in his face, I'm talking my mess, he talking his mess." It was a low-scoring game between the Giants and Rams, but the latter came away victorious, 17-9. However, the tension boiled over completely after the game when Tate approached Ramsey. Ramsey swung at Tate and a physical altercation ensued with both teams getting involved to break it up. "The game ends. I run up there to expect it, what's going to happen? And he come find me … I'm seeing where he at. I went right up to him with my helmet on, and he swings, but I knew he was going to swing, so I duck, and I went to dump him, and the next thing you know, they had everybody on us, so they separated us," Tate recalled of the moment. Ramsey has talked about that fight in the past during his "The Pivot" podcast appearance in 2022. "On sight, we knew what we was gonna do," he said. "I mean that's his sister, that's what he supposed to do, too. But you mind your business, too. This is me, too, now." Five years later, Tate and Ramsey never reconciled, but they put their differences aside for the kids. "We haven't talked, but I think we both kind of have agreed to not be knuckleheads for the betterment of his daughters and my nieces, and that's kind of where we stand," Tate said.

Three Bold Trades Needed to Make Giants True NL West Contenders
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. With the Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres expected to fight it out all season long atop the NL West, the San Francisco Giants were a bit lost in the mix. San Francisco has taken that personally and through 66 games. The Giants boast a 38-28 record, 6 1/2 games better than fourth-place Arizona, tied with the Padres and just one game behind the Dodgers for the division lead. They have played well above the mark already this season and because of their outstanding play, here are three players they should go after on the trade market. BOSTON, MA - MAY 24: Cedric Mullins #31 of the Baltimore Orioles makes a sliding catch on Ceddanne Rafaela #3 of the Boston Red Sox during the seventh inning of game one of a doubleheader... BOSTON, MA - MAY 24: Cedric Mullins #31 of the Baltimore Orioles makes a sliding catch on Ceddanne Rafaela #3 of the Boston Red Sox during the seventh inning of game one of a doubleheader at Fenway Park on May 24, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. MoreCedric Mullins, Baltimore Orioles Mullins is one of two Orioles players on this list, and he may be the more likely of the two to be traded before the trade deadline passes. He is on the last year of his contract and will most likely be playing elsewhere before the season ends. His .232 average with 10 home runs and a .771 OPS could help improve San Francisco's 0.9 Wins Above Average from all three outfield positions this season. Along with having a decent season at the plate, Mullins' Outs Above Average total of two is more than any outfielder for San Francisco has this season. A change of scenery for Mullins and his addition to the Giants could do wonders for both parties involved. 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water and the other 29% is covered by Cedric Mullins. — Baltimore Orioles (@Orioles) May 15, 2025 Ryan O'Hearn, Baltimore Orioles O'Hearn will be a hot commodity for teams when he is made available. He is putting together the best season of his career in his eighth season in the big leagues. He has a .316 average with nine home runs, 24 RBI and a .897 OPS. He could help the Giants improve at first base, where they rank 27th in Wins Above Average at minus-1.6. LaMonte Wade saw much of the action at first base this season but was recently DFA'd after hitting just .167 across 144 at-bats. The addition of a power bat like O'Hearn to the San Francisco lineup could be massive down the road when it is facing some of the best right-handed pitching in the entire league. Ryan O'Hearn delivers a 3-run blast to put the @Orioles ahead 😤 — MLB (@MLB) May 28, 2025 Jake Bird, Colorado Rockies Bird has been one of very few bright spots on a Rockies team that is headed toward the worst season in MLB history. Bird has appeared 27 times and has pitched to a 1.49 ERA and 45 strikeouts across 36 1/3 innings pitched. He has struggled in the walks department as he's allowed 15 free passes, but he's kept the ball in the ballpark with just one home run allowed. It feels almost certain Colorado will try and capitalize on his value, and the division rival Giants could be an excellent landing spot for the hopeful first-time All Star this season.
