According to reports, the Giants have agreed to terms with safety Jalen Mills, pending a physical.
Originally a seventh-round pick (No. 233) in 2016, Mills has played in 106 regular-season games and four postseason games across eight seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles (2016-2020) and New England Patriots (2021-2023). His career totals include 406 total tackles (314 solo), nine tackles for loss, seven quarterback hits, seven interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 53 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
The 6-foot, 200-pound safety played a key role in the Eagles' 2017 Super Bowl run, starting 15 games and finishing with a career-high three interceptions and 14 passes defensed. He also started all three postseason games for Philadelphia where he registered an additional five pass breakups.
Prior to being drafted, Mills played four seasons at LSU where he recorded six interceptions, 11 passes defensed, 216 total tackles (134 solo) and eight tackles for loss in 45 games. He earned Freshman first-team All-America honors in 2012 after starting all 13 games at cornerback and registering 57 tackles, two interceptions and five passes defensed.
Despite only playing seven games as a senior in 2015, Mills was still named first-team All-American by CBS Sports after finishing with 30 tackles, one sack and three passes defensed.
