Kansas City Chiefs safety Ugo Amadi. <\/p>\n
The New York Giants<\/a> made a flurry of roster moves on Thursday, including adding a pair of players to their secondary ahead of Saturday\u2019s preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to Giants.com\u2019s Dan Salomone<\/a>, the Giants<\/a> signed safety Ugo Amadi<\/a> and cornerback Sam Webb<\/a> while releasing cornerbacks DJ James<\/a> and David Long<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cUgo Amadi has been around since 2019 & most recently with the Saints,\u201d Giants<\/a> Nation Pod\u2019s Bobby Skinner wrote on his official X account on Thursday. \u201cOnly played 1 snap last year on defense but had 59% of the snap share in 2024. Sam Webb started 2 games for the Browns<\/a> at CB last season including a FR TD.\u201d<\/p>\n Amadi won a Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> following the 2022 season.<\/p>\n Amadi Drafted After Earning All-Pac-12 Honors<\/p>\n Amadi, 5-foot-9 and 201 pounds, was selected in the 4th round (No. 132 overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> after earning All-Pac-12 honors at Oregon in 2018.<\/p>\n He played 3 seasons for the Seahawks and has also played for the New Orleans Saints<\/a>, Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, Tennessee Titans<\/a>, and Chiefs.<\/p>\n \u201cAmadi lacks a clean fit from a positional standpoint, but he\u2019s a productive player with good toughness who improved each season,\u201d NFL Draft analyst Lance Zierlein<\/a> wrote in 2019. \u201cHe lacks recovery burst and the height to handle downfield jump-balls and he lacks coverage twitch against slots, but he\u2019s strong and physical in press and is a willing run supporter which gives him a shot as a sub-package down safety with punt return talent.\u201d<\/p>\n Webb, 6-foot and 194 pounds, leaped from NCAA Division II to the NFL<\/a>, where he was an All-MIAA pick at Missouri Western in 2021. He made the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and spent 3 seasons there along with stints on the Carolina Panthers<\/a>, Titans, Cleveland Browns, and Denver Broncos<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Giants<\/a> host the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday in the 1st of 3 preseason games, with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. EST on ESPN Unlimited.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tTony Adame<\/a> covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos.
