Ty Summers is sticking in New York. The Giants announced today that they’ve re-signed the free agent linebacker.
After getting cut by the Lions at the end of the 2024 preseason, Summers quickly caught on with the Giants practice squad. He ended up having one of the most productive seasons of his career, compiling 29 tackles in 16 games (two starts). While the majority of his playing time came on special teams, Summers still garnered more than 100 defensive snaps over the final three weeks of the campaign.
The 29-year-old has traditionally been a special teams piece throughout his career. A former seventh-round pick, Summers spent the first three-plus seasons with the Packers. Since getting waived by Green Bay in 2022, the linebacker has spent time with the Jaguars (two stints), Saints, Lions, and Giants. He’s appeared in 83 games with 89 career tackles.
Summers will likely have a tougher path to defensive playing time in 2025. The team returns their same ILB corps from 2024 (Bobby Okereke, Micah McFadden, Darius Muasau), and they added veteran Chris Board on a two-year deal.
