Earlier in the day, they added 11-year veteran Shelby Harris.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Fotu, 6-foot-5, 317 pounds, is a 27-year-old originally drafted in the fourth round of the 202 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. Fotu spent four seasons with the Cardinals, and has played for the New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, and Houston Texans over the past two seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Fotu has 26 starts in 66 career regular-season games. He is a run defender with just 4,5 career sacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In eight games last season with the Raiders and Texans, Fotu played 193 snaps. His career-high in snaps came in 2022, when he played 499 defensive snaps for Arizona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Neither Fotu nor Harris are true nose tackles. The Giants selected nose tackle Bobby Jamison-Travis in the sixth round of the draft, but expecting Jamison-Travis to fill Dexter Lawrence\u2019s shoes would be an unfair ask.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fotu is the second defensive tackle the Giants agree to a deal with on Wednesday.
