The New York Giants splashed early on the first day of free agency by signing 25-year-old cornerback Paulson Adebo, formally of the New Orleans Saints. Adebo was selected in the third round out of Stanford during the 2021 NFL Draft.
Joe Schoen and the Giants gave the 6-foot-1, 192-pound corner a three-year contract worth $54 million, with $36 million guaranteed ($18 million average annual value). This contract makes Adebo the 13th-highest paid cornerback behind Chicago’s Jaylon Johnson and just in front of San Francisco’s Deommodore Lenior.
Adebo played 3,049 defensive snaps over four seasons in New Orleans.
