The Giants added a free agent at one of their deepest positions on the roster on Thursday, agreeing to terms with defensive tackle and New Jersey product Austin Johnson on a one-year deal, a source confirmed. The Athletic was the first to report the agreement, which is contingent upon a physical.

As with just about every free agent acquisition the Giants have made this offseason, Johnson comes with someone on the coaching staff or in the front office to vouch for him.
