The New York Giants have officially signed veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and released kicker Jason Sanders, according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The roster move, confirmed on Tuesday, adds a high-profile veteran presence to the Giants' receiving corps. Smith-Schuster, a former Pro Bowler known for his physical play and reliability in the slot, joins a New York offense looking to bolster its options for the passing game. The transaction marks a significant addition to the depth chart as the team continues to evaluate its offensive personnel.
In a corresponding move, the Giants have parted ways with kicker Jason Sanders. The release of Sanders creates an immediate vacancy on the special teams unit, and the team has not yet announced a replacement for the kicking duties. Sanders will now enter the waiver wire or free agency following his stint in New York.
The New York Giants front office continues to remain active in reshuffling the roster to find the right balance of veteran experience and production. Further details regarding the terms of Smith-Schuster's contract or the plan for the kicker position have not been disclosed at this time.
