The New York Giants continued addressing their roster depth this week, specifically focusing on special teams, signing former Cleveland Browns linebacker Matthew Adams.
The 28-year-old Adams was originally a seventh-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts in the 2018 NFL draft. He also had a stint with the Chicago Bears (2022) before spending last season with the Browns.
In 85 career games (13 starts), Adams has recorded 98 tackles (68 solo, eight for a loss), two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and two QB hits.
In 2021 and 2023, Adams was named to the Pro Football Focus All-Pro First Team (both as a special teamer).

PFF gave Adams an overall grade of 44.2 in 2023, including a pass rush grade of 73.7. He also earned a special teams grade of 86.8, which led the Browns and was 24th league-wide.
