According to reports, the New York Giants have agreed to terms with linebacker Micah McFadden, pending a physical.
Originally a fifth-round draft choice by the Giants in 2022, he has played in 48 regular-season games with 36 starts in four seasons. His career numbers include 264 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, 15 quarterback hits, six passes defensed, six sacks, five fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles, and an interception.
McFadden suffered a foot injury in the team's 2025 opener at Washington and missed the rest of the season.
At the time, he was coming off a 2024 campaign in which he finished with a team-leading and career-high 107 tackles (60 solo). He recorded six quarterback hits, a career-high three sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.
In 2023, he finished third on the team in tackles and tied Tampa Bay's Antoine Winfield, Jr. for the NFL lead with four defensive fumble recoveries. His 12 tackles for loss tied outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux for the team lead.
As a rookie in 2022, he played in all 17 regular-season games with seven starts.
Prior to the NFL, he played in 45 games with 31 starts for Indiana and was an All-Big Ten selection. A two-time team captain, he was also honored twice with the program's Anthony Thompson Most Valuable Player Award.
