Deonte Banks<\/strong> has not come especially near living as much as his first-round draft slot. The Giants<\/strong> declined the cornerback\u2019s fifth-year option in May. Although Cor\u2019Dale Flott<\/strong> joined the Titans in free agency, the Giants made two significant cornerback investments \u2014 free agent Greg Newsome<\/strong> and second-round pick Colton Hood<\/strong> \u2014 in Banks\u2019 contract 12 months. Recent Giants secondary coach Addison Lynch<\/strong> said (via the Recent York Post\u2019s Paul Schwartz<\/a>) that Banks\u2019 first-round traits are \u201cabsolutely\u201d visible, but Schwartz adds the Giants is not going to save a roster spot for the corner if he only profiles as a kick-return option.<\/p>\n Newsome worked opposite Paulson Adebo<\/strong> because the boundary CB starter in the course of the Giants\u2019 offseason program, Schwartz adds. The previous Browns and Jaguars corner joins Banks and Hood in vying for the job. Banks entered a 3rd season as a starter last 12 months but saw Flott replace him. Flott joined the Titans on a three-year, $45MM contract, but Newsome and Hood being added by the John Harbaugh<\/strong>-led regime makes Banks\u2019 status price monitoring ahead of the August roster-setting deadline. Banks is due a guaranteed $2.6MM base salary and counts $4.32MM on the Giants\u2019 cap sheet.<\/p>\n Here is the most recent from NFL secondaries weeks away from training camp:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Sam Robinson | at July 1, 2026 12:48 pm Deonte Banks has not come especially near living as much as his first-round draft slot.
