New York Giants har netop afsluttet en aftale med den erfarne defensive tackle Shelby Harris, som kommer til at forstærke holdets defensive linje. Aftalen er indgået få uger efter, at Giants havde handlet Dexter Lawrence til Cincinnati Bengals, hvilket efterlod et tomrum i forsvaret.
Ifølge flere rapporter er Harris blevet enig med Giants om en kontrakt. Den 31-årige defensive tackle kommer med en solid bagage fra NFL, hvor han tidligere har spillet for blandt andet Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos og Las Vegas Raiders. Han blev draftet i syvende runde i 2014 og har siden da opbygget en solid karriere med over 200 tackles og 15 sacks i løbet af sine ni sæsoner i ligaen.
Sidste sæson spillede Harris for Cleveland Browns, hvor han i 17 kampe nåede at notere sig for 32 tackles og én sack. Hans erfaring og evne til at dominere i pass rush vil være en værdifuld tilføjelse til Giants' defensive linje, som allerede tæller spillere som Roy Robertson-Harris, Sam Roberts, Darius Alexander og Elijah Chatman.
Med Harris' tilgang forventer Giants at kunne styrke forsvaret og give quarterbacken mere tid til at bygge angrebet op. Aftalen er endnu et skridt i retning af at sikre holdets konkurrenceevne i den kommende sæson.
