The New York Giants have signed linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and drafted linebacker Arvell Reese with the fifth overall pick in 2026. Edmunds, a two-time Pro Bowler, is expected to serve as a mentor for the rookie Reese, who was considered the top non-quarterback prospect. Edmunds has consistently recorded over 100 tackles per season. This shift in the linebacker roster comes as the Giants aim to improve their defense, which has been underwhelming in recent years.
