MARCH 10

PAULSON-ADEBO-AGREED-TO-TERMS

According to reports, the New York Giants agreed to terms with cornerback Paulson Adebo, pending a physical.

Adebo, 6-1 and 192 pounds, started 51 of 52 games for the New Orleans Saints over his first four NFL seasons. His career numbers include 251 total tackles, 43 passes defensed, 10 interceptions, seven tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.

Adebo had three interceptions in his just seven starts last season before he suffered a broken femur.

In 2023, Adebo had a career year statistically with 76 tackles, four interceptions, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. His 18 passes defensed were also third-most in the league that season.

A third-round draft choice out of Stanford in 2021, Adebo started all 17 games as a rookie and finished with 63 tackles (54 solo), three interceptions, eight passes defensed, and three special teams stops. He became only the fifth Saints rookie to have at least three interceptions, joining Robert Massey (1989), Sammy Knight (1997), Marshon Lattimore (2017), and Marcus Williams (2017).

Since 2021, the Saints have given up the fewest passing touchdowns, second-lowest completion percentage and passer rating, and 10th-fewest net passing yards.

Prior to the NFL, Paulson was a two-time All-Pac-12 selection and led the nation in pass breakups as a sophomore in 2018. He was college teammates with Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke.
