The Giants' roster very much remains a work in progress, a fact demonstrated this morning when the team added four defensive players with NFL experience among a series of transactions.

The Giants announced they have signed six members of their 2022 draft class, including first-round selections Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal.

In addition to their 11-man draft class, the New York Giants announced the signings of 13 undrafted free agents heading into rookie minicamp.

The Giants announced they have released cornerback James Bradberry, a steady defender who started 31 games in his two seasons with the team and was a 2020 Pro Bowler.

Originally a first-round draft choice by the Giants in 2019, Lawrence has played in 48 games over three seasons and recorded 145 combined tackles and 9.0 sacks.

The 6-foot-4, 243-pound Akins spent his first four seasons with the Houston Texans, who originally selected him in the third round (98th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-9, 320-pound lineman recently took part in the NFL's International Pathway Program in Arizona.

Garcia, who won a Super Bowl with Denver, has played in 93 games (52 starts) for the Broncos and Cardinals.

Platzgummer, 6-0 and 198 pounds, was originally signed by the Giants in 2020 as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program.

Originally a fourth-round pick out of the University of Florida by Denver in 2015, Garcia has made 39 regular-season starts at left guard, nine at right guard, and four at center.

He was named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-NFC Team and ESPN All-Rookie Team in 2018.

Ellis, 6-2 and 350 pounds, has played in 100 regular-season games with 50 starts for the Raiders (2014-18) and Ravens (2019-21).
