The New York Giants have signed four of their seven 2026 draft picks to four‑year rookie contracts, the team announced Thursday, clearing the way for those players to join the club for its three‑day rookie minicamp beginning Friday.
Third‑round wide receiver Malachi Fields, the 74th overall pick, led the group with a $7.232 million deal that includes a $1.719 million signing bonus. Fields’ contract will count $1.314 million against the Giants’ 2026 salary cap. The three sixth‑round selections also finalized their rookie deals: defensive tackle Bobby Jamison‑Travis (186th overall) signed a $4.695 million contract with a $315,000 signing bonus and a 2026 cap hit of $963,755.
Offensive lineman J.C. Davis, chosen 192nd overall, agreed to a $4.674 million contract that includes a $287,616 signing bonus and a $958,500 cap charge for 2026. Linebacker Jack Kelly, the 193rd pick, signed a $4.667 million deal with the same $287,616 signing bonus structure and a $956,904 cap hit this season.

Three higher‑profile picks remain unsigned: first‑rounders Arvell Reese and Francis Mauigoa, and second‑round defensive back Colton Hood. First‑round contracts typically carry larger guarantees and are often negotiated with more attention to guaranteed money and offset language, which can delay signatures; the Giants did not provide a timeline for when those deals might be completed.
With the four signees now under contract, they are eligible to participate in the Giants’ rookie minicamp, where they will begin on‑field work with coaches and compete for roles on offense, defense and special teams. The Leaguewide post‑draft period has seen teams move quickly to lock up late‑round picks and undrafted free agents as rosters fill out, and New York’s mix of early and later signings mirrors that broader trend.
