Giants re-signing punter Jamie Gillan

The New York Giants are extending another core starter from the 2022 season. Punter Jamie Gillan and the Giants have agreed to terms on a two-year, $4 million deal that’s worth up to $5M with incentives, per Tom Pelissero.

Giants extending Jamie Gillan ahead of free agency

Jame Gillan was set to become a free agent this offseason following one season with the Giants. In 2022, Gillan punted the ball 74 times for New York, averaging 46.8 yards per punt. The 25-year-old also served as the special teams unit’s placeholder last season. Extending Gillan provides continuity for kicker Graham Gano entering the 2023 season.

The Scottish Hammer is a young, unfinished product that has plenty of power in his left leg, but could improve his touch and accuracy moving forward. Gillan’s nine touchbacks were the second-highest of any punter in 2022.
