Signed a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with the Giants in March of 2026.
Joining Big Blue
Newsome is slated to sign a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Following a 13-game stint (including playoffs) with the Jaguars, Newsome has found a new home in New York after spending his first four full NFL seasons with the Browns. Despite recording 32 total tackles and six passes defensed, including one interception, during his time in Jacksonville, the 2021 first-round pick struggled in coverage, allowing a 107.5 passer rating when targeted. However, he's shown flashes throughout his career, most notably during the 2023 season when he posted 49 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and 14 passes defensed, including two interceptions, while allowing a 74.8 passer rating when targeted. Now in New York, Newsome is expected to operate as one of the Giants' top boundary corners during the 2026 season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
Newsome was the subject of trade rumors during the offseason, and the Browns would incur no dead money if they found a taker. However, Newsome's regression in 2024 makes finding a taker a challenge. No area of Cleveland's defense underperformed more than its secondary in 2024, where Newsome (54.0 coverage grade) and Martin Emerson (48.6) had their worst seasons. Newsome's reception rate climbed to 67.4 percent, and his drop-off was noticed by the coaching staff, which made him a starter just three times in 13 games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Early trade candidate
Newsome is a trade candidate as the Browns approach training camp, Zac Jackson of The Athletic suggests.
ANALYSIS
Newsome has settled into a slot role for the Browns, but has seen his role diminish in each of the last two seasons. He'll enter the 2025 season on the final year of his rookie contract and could be competing with outside corner Martin Emerson for a long-term contract. Both are set to be free agents next offseason, and the team will likely prefer to hang onto Emerson due to his status as a full-time player.
