Giants sign promising defender a year removed from an 89-tackle season image

The New York Giants made a move to upgrade their defense on Tuesday.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Giants have signed safety K'Von Wallace.

Wallace was a fourth-round pick by the Eagles in 2020 out of Clemson who spent three seasons with Philadelphia.

Wallace left Philly in 2023 and proceeded to have his best NFL season. He split that campaign between the Cardinals and Titans, and he totaled 89 tackles and an interception.

The 5-foot-11 Wallace then went to the Seahawks for 2024. He had 15 tackles in nine games before an injury ended his season prematurely.

Because of Wallace's more limited usage and subsequent injury last season, he clearly didn't have a huge free agent market.

But if he's healthy, he can help the Giants.

They're in a division where all three other teams have very talented quarterbacks, so adding talent in the defensive backfield is never a bad idea.

Wallace will try to return to his early-career form with this fresh start.
