According to reports, the New York Giants have agreed to terms with cornerback Darnay Holmes, pending a physical.
Holmes, a fourth-round draft choice by the Giants in 2020, became an unrestricted free agent when the new league year began on March 13.
Holmes recorded a career-high two interceptions in 2023, despite not making a start for the first time in his four seasons. He did, however, play in a career-high 16 games. Overall, Holmes has made 11 starts in 54 games played for the Giants. His career numbers include four interceptions, 18 passes defensed, three tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. He has also forced a fumble on special teams, where he lined up for 194 plays last season.
In addition, Holmes has appeared in two postseason games and recorded two tackles for loss in the Giants' Wild Card victory over the Vikings in 2022.
A native of Pasadena, Calif., Holmes played in 35 games with 33 starts in three seasons at UCLA. His career totals included 121 tackles (89 solo), eight interceptions, 28 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He averaged 23.1 yards on 38 kickoff returns, including a 93-yard touchdown.
