The New York Giants have agreed to terms on a deal with cornerback Paulson Adebo, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Adebo, a 2021 third-round pick out of Stanford, started 51 games for the New Orleans Saints at outside corner, including all 17 games as a rookie.
Adebo was a Day 1 starter as a rookie due to a lack of depth at cornerback in 2021, Sean Payton's final season as coach in New Orleans. He and Marshon Lattimore remained the outside starters for the last four seasons when they were both healthy.
Adebo took over Lattimore's position as the team's No. 1 cornerback in 2023 when Lattimore missed half the season due to injury.
Adebo, 25, played in only seven games in 2024 after breaking his femur in a game against the Denver Broncos on Oct. 17. Adebo had surgery to repair the broken femur, which required a four-to-five month recover period. He said at the end of the season that he would be ready in time for training camp.
Adebo had three interceptions in seven games before his injury last season and has 10 career interceptions, in addition to 43 passes defended and two forced fumbles.
The NFL Network first reported the deal.
