The New York Giants<\/a> have made a move just before free agency to keep one of their own around.<\/p>\n

Chris Manhertz is staying put with the Giants.<\/p>\n

The 10-year NFL veteran is signing a one-year deal with New York, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While free agency isn’t open yet, players can re-sign with the teams they finished last season with, and that’s what Manhertz is doing.<\/p>\n

Manhertz, a tight end, is one of those glue guys down an offensive depth chart who just helps things come together.<\/p>\n

The 33-year old is known for his blocking. He played all 17 games for the Giants in 2025 and had just one catch for seven yards. Being a receiver wasn’t his role.<\/p>\n

He has played 154 games in the NFL in a career that spans from the Saints<\/a> to the Panthers<\/a> to the Jaguars<\/a>, Broncos<\/a> and now Giants.<\/p>\n

In that career, Manhertz has 30 catches for 308 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

He had back-to-back six-catch seasons for the Jags in 2021 and 2022 that mark his career best.<\/p>\n

Manhertz has been a cool story since the start of his NFL career. He was a college basketball player at Canisius, but someone thought he’d make a good tight end. They were right.<\/p>\n

Now, he’ll be looking to appear in NFL games for the 11th consecutive season, and it’ll be back with the Giants for a third year.<\/p>\n
