The New York Giants have secured linebacker Dyontae Johnson on a re-signing as an exclusive rights free agent. Johnson, 24, originally joined the Giants as an undrafted free agent post-2023 NFL Draft, but his first two seasons have been marred by injuries. After spending the entire previous season on the practice squad and much of the season prior on IR due to an ankle issue, he has only played two games where he recorded 11 tackles.

Despite the presence of established linebackers like Bobby Okereke, Micah McFadden, and Darius Muasau, the Giants continue to show faith in Johnson's potential. Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 230 pounds, he has demonstrated his ability during limited snaps on both defense and special teams. With the Giants hoping to bolster their linebacker corps, Johnson provides depth and a chance for growth in a competitive unit.
