Tuesday's Giants news started with the trade deadline and ended with a new contract. Greg Newsome agreed to a three-year, $46 million extension. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport expects New York to be aggressive at running back and interior defensive line.
Here is every story we published on Nov. 3, 2026.
Greg Newsome is no longer a one-year rental. The Giants agreed to a three-year, $46 million extension with the cornerback that includes $32 million guaranteed, Jordan Schultz reported.
ESPN and the Associated Press confirmed the same terms.
Newsome arrived on a one-year free-agent contract and quickly earned a starting role. In his debut, he allowed one catch for eight yards on 52 snaps. Six games in, he has allowed a 61.4 passer rating.
Schultz followed up that the new contract also creates cap space, with the Giants still active buyers before the deadline.
The deal steadies one half of the corner room while Paulson Adebo works through his practice window after injured reserve.
The Giants are not shopping quietly. "Ian Rapoport expects the Giants to be aggressive trading for a RB and an interior defensive lineman," we posted Tuesday, citing ESPN's Big Day.
Rapoport's read came one day after John Harbaugh said the Giants are turning over every stone and making every call.
At running back, the Colts are in active talks on Jonathan Taylor. Indianapolis wants a return closer to the four-pick Christian McCaffrey package from 2022, ESPN reported.
The interior need is just as real. Harbaugh reached out about Jeffery Simmons before Chicago landed him, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported.
NFL.com wrote that all signs point to a splash before next Tuesday's deadline. If the Taylor price stays out of reach, Tony Pollard remains a cheaper name on the board.
The Athletic's Dan Duggan put a clock on it.
"If the Giants are going to swing a big trade, ideally it would happen today," Duggan posted on X Tuesday morning. "That would enable the acquisition to play Sunday and next week on Thursday night vs. Washington."
Waiting until next Tuesday's deadline would likely take a new player out of both games, Duggan wrote.
"That shouldn't dictate how aggressive they'll be with a major decision, but it adds some urgency, especially at RB with Skattebo's uncertainty for Sunday," he added.
Cam Skattebo worked on the side Monday, Duggan reported. Taylor remains the big name most linked to the Giants, with 587 yards and eight touchdowns this season.
Duggan also took stock of where the Giants stand in his Athletic column a week from the deadline.
Asked whether a deal is coming, Ian O'Connor replied on X: "The motivation is certainly there to get one done."
That read matches Harbaugh's Monday message. "We're making every call," Harbaugh said, as we covered, to see who is available and for what price.
O'Connor also noted that Harbaugh does not want a "one-and-done" rental, which points toward longer fits such as Taylor.
ESPN's Jordan Raanan expects the Giants to be active at the deadline. Motivation is only half of it, though. The Colts still want a McCaffrey-style package for Taylor, and the deadline arrives Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET.
