The Giants are adding another candidate for their second cornerback spot.
Rookie Madre Harper will sign with the team off the Raiders practice squad, a source confirmed. NFL Network first reported the expected acquisition, noting that the Giants threw in a signing bonus to lure the cornerback.
Once he arrives, likely on Thursday after he clears COVID-19 protocols and takes his physical, Harper will likely be rolled into the rotation of players who are all trying to secure the job as the starter in the secondary.
