Giants Tender RFA CB Nick McCloud

According to Jordan Raanan, the Giants tendered a contract to restricted free agent CB Nick McCloud on Wednesday. 

Ryan Dunleavy notes McCloud will receive a one-year, $3 million deal. 

McCloud, 25, originally signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame in 2021. After spending training camp in Buffalo, McCloud was claimed off waivers by the Bengals. McCloud spent two months in Cincinnati before the Bengals waived him and he caught on with the Bills’ practice squad in 2021. 

He re-signed to Buffalo on a futures deal in 2022 and was claimed by the Giants coming out of training camp. 

 In 2023, McCloud appeared in all 17 games for the Giants and recorded 28 tackles, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and two pass defenses.
