Update:
The New York Giants announced Thursday that they’ve re-signed restricted free-agent FB Elijhaa Penny and waived OT George Asafo-Adjei with a failed physical designation.
Jordan Raanan reports that the Giants have agreed to a two-year extension with restricted free-agent FB Elijhaa Penny.
Pat Leonard reports that the Giants are expected to re-sign restricted free-agent FB Elijhaa Penny.
Leonard adds that Giants’ new HC Joe Judge and his staff like Penny as a ball carrier, blocker, and contributor on special teams.
Penny, 26, originally signed on with the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent out of Idaho back in 2016. He spent the next two years on Arizona’s practice squad until the Giants claimed him in September of 2018.
New York re-signed him to a one-year, $645,000 contract last offseason.
In 2019, Penny appeared in all 16 games for the Giants and recorded 15 rushing attempts for 39 yards (2.6 YPC) to go along with two receptions for nine yards receiving (4.5 YPC) and no touchdowns.
