The New York Giants<\/a> have reached an agreement with Baltimore Ravens free-agent punter Jordan Stout on a three-year, $12.3 million contract that makes him the NFL’s highest-paid punter.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the news.<\/p>\n

The deal, which reunites Stout with his former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, now with the Giants, cannot be officially signed until Wednesday due to league rules.<\/p>\n

Stout, 27, emerged as one of the league’s elite punters after being drafted by Baltimore in the fourth round (130th overall) of the 2022 NFL draft from Penn State.<\/p>\n

Over four seasons with the Ravens through 2025, he averaged 47.6 yards per punt on 231 attempts, including a career-long 74 yards and 100 punts inside the 20. His standout 2025 season featured a 50.1-yard average on 53 punts, earning Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro recognition.<\/p>\n

The move upgrades the Giants’ special teams, where incumbent punter Jamie Gillan could be released. It underscores New York’s emphasis on bolstering key positions in free agency under Harbaugh’s leadership.<\/p>\n
