April 29, 2026
The Giants signed Harris to a one-year contract Wednesday, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Harris will turn 35 in April, but he's coming off a 2025 season with Cleveland in which he played 507 snaps, racking up 32 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks. The Giants recently dealt three-time Pro Bowler Dexter Lawrence to Cincinnati in exchange for the 10th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, leaving a big hole on the interior of its defensive line that Harris now figures to play a significant role in helping to fill.

Harris returns for a third season with the Browns after recording 37 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble over 14 games in 2024. He suffered an elbow injury that forced him to miss the final three regular-season games. The Browns entered the offseason with a need to bolster defensive tackle and added veteran Maliek Collins in free agency, and then made a splash at the draft, selecting Mason Graham fifth overall. Collins and Graham are expected to start, but the 33-year-old Harris brings a wealth of experience to the rotation.
Harris joined the Browns late in training camp, and the veteran made the roster to become a rotational player at defensive tackle. He did enough in first season in Cleveland that the organization inked him for another two seasons. Harris enters his age-33 season and should not be viewed as an every-down player, but he plays with energy and brings plenty of experience. He had 1.5 sacks, five passes defensed and forced a fumble while playing about 25 snaps per game last season.
Harris was part of the package that the Seahawks received for shipping Russell Wilson to Denver. Turning 31 years old in August, Harris will be the oldest defensive end on the team by far this season. However, he appears to have plenty of gas left in the tank, as Harris matched his career highs in tackles (49) and sacks (six) last year. Harris will compete with Uchenna Nwosu, Darrell Taylor and rookie Boye Mafe for reps on the edge.
The Broncos re-signed Harris this offseason to a three-year, $27 million contract. The defensive end enters his seventh year in the NFL as an important piece of Denver's defensive front, having amassed 8.5 sacks over the last two seasons.
Harris capped the Broncos' 4-1 finish by batting down Derek Carr's two-point try to solidify a 16-15 win against his former team. Harris enjoyed a career-year in 2019 with personal bests in tackles (48) and sacks (six) while leading all defensive linemen with nine passes defensed. He flourished after permanently moving from nose tackle to defensive end in Week 5. Harris got lost in the shuffle in free agency and returned to Denver on a significant discount. With a full season at defensive end and the addition of Pro-Bowler Jurrell Casey opposite him, Harris will have an opportunity to improve on his 2019 season.
Harris is entering his second season after being drafted by the Raiders in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft, 235th overall. The 24-year old defensive end is a former Wisconsin recruit that transferred to Illinois State where he was kicked off of the team in 2013. He's near the bottom of the depth chart at the defensive end position and he'll likely struggle to make the 53-man roster. If he does earn a spot, he won't hold much value as an IDP unless the Raiders' were to encounter a slew of injuries.
Despite being kicked off the football team at Illinois State and not playing in 2013, Harris still ended up being drafted by the Raiders in the seventh round of the 2014 draft. He's no lock to make the team, however.

Harris is expected to sign with the Giants, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harris is expected to sign a one-year deal after having visited the Giants in recent weeks. The 12-year veteran has previously spent time with the Raiders, Broncos, Seahawks and Browns, and he'll help fill the void created by the recent trade of star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals.
