Calvin Austin is no longer a Pittsburgh Steelers WR

He signs with the #Giants on a 1-year deal that could approach 4.5 million with incentives met

Sources: The #Giants 1-year deal with WR Calvin Austin is worth $1.5 million, including around $100k guaranteed.

Incentives can get it to $4.5m.

The Giants expect Austin to compete for their PR job, in addition to contributing as a receiver.

He caught 31 passes for 372 yards and 3 TDs last year. He had a PR TD in 2024, averaging 10.3 per attempt.

What's it going to look like to have 300-pound Patrick Ricard blocking for Cam Skattebo?

Ricard: "It's going to look like a lot of yards and a lot of touchdowns." #Giants

Patrick Ricard on what he told John Harbaugh after taking the #Giants job:

"If you were coaching a Pop Warner football team, I'm interested!"

Ricard followed Harbaugh from Baltimore to the Giants. Said Cam Skattebo and Jermaine Eluemunor also recruited him.

FB "Pancake Pat" Ricard said that he would follow John Harbaugh to a high school football team to be the water boy if Harbaugh wanted him. #Giants

#Giants don't play until September.

But I think they need better starters than they have penciled in right now at CB, WR, RG and DT.

Are they drafting any of those positions at No. 5 overall? If not, where do starters come from?

Looking at the contracts some estimated 2026 cap hits:

RT Jermaine Eluemunor: $5.9 million
FB Patrick Ricard: $2.9 million
