On the cusp of losing one outside linebacker, the Giants kept some cost-effective help.
The Giants re-signed exclusive rights free agent Tomon Fox on Friday to a standard one-year minimum-salary contract (no guaranteed money).
Fox has played in 28 games over three seasons, totaling 207 defensive snaps and 205 special teams in 11 games last season.
Quarterback Tommy DeVito is expected to re-sign on a similar deal as an exclusive rights free agent.
Two other ERFAs, linebacker Dyontae Johnson and cornerback Divaad Wilson, will become unrestricted free agents if they are not tendered an offer by noon Monday.
The expectation is that the Giants will lose Azeez Ojulari when free agency opens next week.
Ojulari (22 career sacks in 46 games) was the third edge rusher behind starters Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux last season.
It would be a big ask to slide the 26-year-old Fox (two career sacks) into that role, but he can provide depth.
Fox originally joined the Giants as an undrafted rookie in 2022.
