The New York Giants continue shaping their roster, with a strong focus on becoming contenders in the upcoming NFL season. Despite rumors linking them to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, the team decided to re-sign Chris Manhertz to bring back experience to the offense.
According to journalist Adam Schefter, who shared the news on his X account, the Giants have secured the services of the veteran tight end for one more season, marking the 12th year for the experienced player.
Manhertz appeared in all 17 games of the last season and, although his statistical impact in receptions was minimal, he still managed to move his personal stats. In total, he recorded 1 reception for 7 yards, without scoring a touchdown.
This move came just a few hours before Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Kelce is ultimately staying with the Chiefs, with the veteran star coming back for a 14th NFL season in Kansas City.
Johnson will continue being the beacon for Dart
Theo Johnson is set to remain a cornerstone of the passing attack as the primary tight end for Jaxson Dart. After a breakout regular season where he hauled in 45 receptions for 528 yards and 5 touchdowns, he has proven to be a reliable safety valve and a red-zone threat. His chemistry with Dart and his ability to move the chains suggest he will continue to be a focal point in the offensive scheme moving forward.
