It’s an especially Merry Christmas for Logan Ryan. On Friday morning, the Giants agreed to a three-year, $31MM extension with the veteran safety, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport (on Twitter).
The deal includes $20MM in guarantees, assuring that Ryan will be a part of the team’s plans beyond 2021. It’s not immediately clear how much of that $20MM figure is guaranteed at signing, but a good portion of that sum should be locked in for Year One.
Ryan, 30 in February, hooked on with the Giants just before the start of the season. His history with head coach Joe Judge and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham helped to bring him to New York, but his talent and versatility were the real drivers.
The one-year, $7.5MM deal paid off for the G-Men, and they’re now rewarding him with the $10MM/year figure that he had been seeking throughout the offseason. In 2019, Ryan led all NFL corners last season with 113 tackles. He graded as one of the league’s top slot defenders, per Pro Football Focus, but ultimately had to make the switch to safety.
It hasn’t been a banner year for the Giants on the whole, but Ryan has been solid throughout. Through 14 games, the Rutgers product has 83 stops, one interception, one sack, three forced fumbles, and nine passes defensed to his credit. Now, he has security with a contract that could take him all the way to the end of his career.
Ryan probably saved Jerry Jones several million by wiping out Dak Prescott so I wonder if he got a Christmas card from the Cowboys owner.
you make no sense bro. what a waste of a post. smh.
I know this was meant as a joke but it’s kind of a terrible thing to post
Owners care more about their wealth than the players (who they generally view as disposable). That’s not my fault.
Nooooo realllyyyy, we all know that bro, but writing something like giving a Christmas card for hurting someone is a scumbag post. Idk… i guess that’s how u think.
I hope Santa skipped your house you bitter troll
Solid move and good for him. The last year might be rough due to his age, but he’s played very well and barring injury, they should get a couple more years of solid production. They need it.
Love this signing! Future coach on his last contract.
I like the move, need a pass rusher and an elite wr
Great leader, fits Graham’s schemes. Giants are in good shape at the safety position. What was a real deficiency last year has become a strength. Defense is a big pass rusher away from top echelon. Coach Judge has team trending up, becoming like Parcells teams.
Love the move. Logan Ryan is the type of guy that would have fit in on the giants teams of the late 80s and late 2000s
