The New York Giants are shaping their roster around new head coach John Harbaugh by signing former Baltimore Ravens punter Jordan Stout to A.C. Three-year deal worth $12.3 million. This makes Stout the highest paid punner in NFL history. Harbaugh coached him in Baltimore and now brings that special team's expertise to New York. Earlier this week, the Giants also added tight-in Isaiah likely on a three-year contract, giving quarterback Jackson Dart another weapon in the passing game. These moves show the team as prioritizing key pieces early in the op season. Stout entered the league as a fourth-round pick in the 2022 draft out of Penn State, where he dominated college football. Harbaugh with his special team's background had high hopes, but Stout faced some early challenges over his first three seasons. That changed in the 2025 season when he averaged a career-best 50.1 yards per punt.

Now with the Giants, Stout aims to build on that momentum and strengthen their special team's unit right away. Fans are excited about how this fits Harbaugh's vision for a competitive squad.
