He points out this reunites Shepard with Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield, who he played with in college. 

Itโ€™s not clear how much Shepard has left in the tank at this point but heโ€™ll compete for a roster spot and have the chance to be a veteran presence on the depth chart in Tampa Bay. 

Shepard, 31, is a former second-round pick of the Giants back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $5.944 million rookie contract when he agreed to a four-year, $41 million extension that includes $21.3 million guaranteed. 

Shepard was set to make base salaries of $8.475 and $9.475 million in the final two years of his deal, however, the two sides agreed to a reworked deal that made him a free agent in 2023.

The Giants opted to bring him back on a one-year deal last offseason.

In 2023, Shepard appeared in 15 games for the Giants and caught 10 passes on 22 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown.
