The New York Giants are re-signing veteran tight end Chris Manhertz to a one-year contract, according to his agent Sean Stellato per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The agreement brings the veteran back to the roster for what will be his 12th NFL season.
Manhertz, 32, is widely regarded as one of the league's most effective blocking tight ends. His return provides the Giants with critical veteran depth and specialized blocking capabilities as they finalize their offensive rotations. Having spent over a decade in the league, Manhertz has previously seen action with the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Denver Broncos.
Throughout his career, Manhertz has appeared in 124 regular-season games. While he has limited production in the passing game with just 26 career receptions, his value remains high in heavy personnel packages and goal-line situations. The Giants originally added him during the 2024 offseason to help bolster a tight end room that saw the retirement of Darren Waller earlier this summer.
The move solidifies the Giants depth chart at the position, where Manhertz is expected to mentor younger players like Daniel Bellinger and rookie Theo Johnson. Further details regarding the financial terms of the one-year deal have not yet been disclosed.
