Veteran defensive tackle Shelby Harris is signing with the New York Giants<\/a>. The news was first reported on Wednesday by veteran NFL insider Aaron Wilson, and was subsequently confirmed by the Giants.<\/p>\n

Coming out of the 2026 NFL Draft having only added sixth-round pick Bobby Jamison-Travis to their defensive tackle room, the Giants were widely expected to add one or more veteran defensive tackles in free agency.<\/p>\n

Harris, 35, will be entering his 12th NFL season after being a seventh-round pick by the Oakland Raiders in the 2014 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

Harris has played for Oakland, the Denver Broncos<\/a>, Seattle Seahawks<\/a>, and spent the last three seasons with the Cleveland Browns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harris visited the Giants a few weeks before the draft.<\/p>\n

Harris played all 17 games for the Browns last season with 32 tackles, a sack, and four passes defensed in 509 defensive snaps.<\/p>\n

The Giants are likely not done adding to the defensive tackle position. They have been heavily linked to veteran nose tackle D.J. Reader, and recently had a visit from Bonito Jones, as well.<\/p>\n

A decision on whether or not to bring Odell Beckham<\/a> back to New York is also looming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Veteran defensive tackle Shelby Harris is signing with the New York Giants.
