Nine down, one to go.
The Giants announced the signing of third-round pick Oshane Ximines Monday as rookies report to training camp.
Ximines, an outside linebacker, was selected 95th overall in the 2019 draft after four seasons at Old Dominion. Ximines led the Monarchs in sacks all four years, starting 48 of the 49 games he played there. His 33.0 sacks, 51.5 tackles for loss, 33 quarterback hurries and 11 forced fumbles are all school records.
Ximines’ contract is expected to be worth $3.55 million over four years, including a $833,000 signing bonus, according to Spotrac.com.
With the signing, the Giants have successfully inked nine of their 10 draft selections to rookie contracts. The guy they took first, Daniel Jones, remains unsigned. He was selected sixth overall.
The rookies arrived Monday and will practice together Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning Jones will not miss a thing if he signs by Tuesday. The first full-scale camp practice with the entire squad is Thursday.
There is not much wiggle room in the contracts of the first-round picks, and Jones as the No. 6 overall selection is set for a four-year deal worth $25.5 million, with about $16.6 million in guaranteed money, plus a fifth-year option at the discretion of the Giants. The only holdup with these deals usually is about contract off-set language.
A year ago, running back Saquon Barkley as the No. 2 pick in the draft signed his four-year, fully-guaranteed $31.2 million deal the day he reported with the other rookies.
