When a person makes a huge change after staying in the same place for nearly two decades, they are bound to stick with what they know. New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh knows the Baltimore Ravens, and he is bringing a couple of their unrestricted free agents with him to the Meadowlands. Following the news that Isaiah Likely is heading to Big Blue, All-Pro punter Jordan Stout is also reuniting with Harbaugh after agreeing to a three-year, $12.3 million contract, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Once the deal is officially signed on Wednesday, Stout will become the highest-paid player at his position. Unsurprisingly, the Giants are releasing Jamie Gillan, the man who handled their punting duties for the last four seasons. New York’s glaring flaws on run defense understandably draw a significant amount of attention, but the special teams unit has also been an issue for some time. Harbaugh is quickly addressing that weakness.
