EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants and wide receiver/special teams standout Cody Core have reached an agreement on a two-year contract extension, according to a report by the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Core was awarded off waivers to the Giants on Sept. 1, one day after his release by the Cincinnati Bengals. He played his first three seasons for the Bengals, who selected him on the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Core's career totals include 33 receptions for 388 yards and one touchdown in 51 games, including seven starts.
