Giants' $54 million gamble is unraveling quicker than anyone expected

There was palpable excitement surrounding the New York Giants' revamped secondary ahead of the 2025 NFL campaign. Much of the anticipation stemmed from the team's offseason free-agent acquisitions, namely cornerback Paulson Adebo, though that optimism has proven more aspirational than anticipated.

Not only has Adebo's inaugural campaign with the Giants been marred by a knee injury, but he's also been ineffective when on the field. His contributions (or lack thereof) have not aligned with the three-year, $54 million contract the club signed him to this past March.

It's too early to press the panic button -- yet.
