Definitely NOT Fred Warner.
Doug Rush@TheDougRush
The Giants reportedly tried to trade for a veteran linebacker during the early start of free agency. From @JordanRaanan on his Breaking Blue podcast: "The Giants definitely did try to trade for a linebacker, I heard. And the story I heard was that said linebacker didn’t really want to go, and the trade kind of broke apart. It’s a guy that’s getting towards the end of his career, and it just didn’t work out." While the identity of the player wasn’t revealed, given the trade rumors that were circulating on social media around the time of the start of free agency, the veteran linebacker sure sounds like it was 49ers linebacker Fred Warner. Warner, who is considered one of the best middle linebackers in the sport, is 29 years old and coming off a season-ending ankle injury. The Giants ended up signing Tremaine Edmunds to a 3-year deal; Edmunds was initially put on the trade block by the Bears before he was released. The Giants are also thought of to potentially draft a linebacker early on in the 2026 NFL Draft; Ohio State’s Sonny Styles has been frequently mentioned for the Giants in mock drafts.

The Josh Ezeudu signing had been in the work for days. Had nothing to do with Wyatt Teller signing.
It became clear after the pursuit of Alijah Vera-Tucker that the Giants made a calculated decision they were not going to spend significantly at the guard position.
AB9620@Alex9620x
@JordanRaanan @awthentik @the_captain66 I saw Teller got signed and then Ezeudu. Not sure if it’s related or sequence…
English
OL Josh Ezeudu is re-signing with the Giants on a one-year deal, per source. A third-round pick he also gets a clean slate and chance under new coach John Harbaugh.

With John Harbaugh being hired as a new head coach, the Giants can begin their offseason program three weeks from today, April 6. That will be the first opportunity for the new coaching staff to hand out playbooks and start going over specifics.

The Harbaugh hype. It's real. Win total is at 7.5 games after the first week of free agency.

CB Greg Newsome said he's a player that brings strong press-man coverage. He targeted the Giants. Had some options with longer deals. Looks at this as an opportunity to play well, earn a long-term contract.
"Hopefully we can get something done where I can retire a Giant."
