The move makes room for DB JT Woods to join the 90-man roster.
Roberts, 28, played five years at Northwest Missouri State in Division II and was a three-time all-conference player. The Patriots used a sixth-round pick on him back in 2022.
Roberts signed a four-year deal worth $3,831,477 that also includes a signing bonus of $171,477 but was later released and signed to the Bears’ practice squad. The Panthers signed Robert and eventually added him to their practice squad at the start of the season.
Carolina cut Roberts coming out of camp in 2025 and he joined the Falcons’ practice squad before being promoted to the active roster in September. After playing out his contract, he caught on with the Giants this past offseason.
In 2025, Roberts appeared in five games for the Falcons and recorded 18 tackles, one tackle for loss and one sack.
