New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman confirmed Tuesday that the Giants will honor the terms of the contract they signed tight end Kyle Rudolph to this offseason despite the fact that Rudolph has a foot injury requiring surgery.
According to NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano, Gettleman said: "We are the Giants, we're going to do everything with the class."
Rudolph and the Giants agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract in March, but his physical turned up a foot issue before the contract was signed. Per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the two sides made the deal official anyway with the knowledge that Rudolph would need surgery and would likely be ready for Week 1.
