Signed a four-year, $13.58 million contract with the Giants in May of 2023.
Doesn't get fifth-year option
The Giants have declined Banks' fifth-year option, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
New York had high expectations for Banks when the team selected him in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but the Maryland product has largely disappointed. Banks has managed to stay mostly healthy during his first three NFL campaigns, playing in 45 of a possible 51 regular-season games, but after starting every contest in which he participated from 2023-24, he logged just six starts over 16 contests last year. Banks appears set to compete for playing time with second-round pick Colton Hood and free-agent acquisition Greg Newsome during the upcoming season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Banks led the Giants with 12 pass defenses last year despite missing three games due to a rib injury. He's proven capable of getting between the ball and receiver with 23 pass defenses through two NFL campaigns, though he's notched just two interceptions. Banks has started all 29 regular-season games in which he's played, and he could continue in that role alongside offseason acquisition Paulson Adebo in 2025, though he'll face competition from Cor'Dale Flott during training camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Makes strides during spring work
Banks, the Giants' rookie 24th overall pick, worked himself up to the first-team defense over the course of OTAs and minicamp this spring, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Banks opened on the second-team defense during the Giants' first OTA session open to the media, but he quickly earned a promotion with his talent and athleticism. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale has already taken note of the fact Banks possesses a very valuable intangible for a cornerback as well, namely, a short memory for unfavorable plays.
