New York Giants secara resmi mengumumkan penandatanganan Khalid Kareem, linebacker luar (OLB) yang sebelumnya bermain untuk Atlanta Falcons. Keputusan ini diumumkan melalui laporan transaksi resmi NFL pada Rabu (18/9/2024).
Sebagai bagian dari pergerakan ini, Giants menempatkan cornerback Thaddeus Dixon ke daftar cedera (injured reserve), menyesuaikan kebutuhan roster tim.
Kareem menghabiskan dua musim terakhirnya bersama Falcons. Pada musim 2025, ia mencatatkan partisipasi dalam 71 snap pertahanan dan 25 snap tim khusus. Dalam performanya tersebut, ia berhasil mencatatkan tujuh tackle serta satu pass defended. Secara keseluruhan, Kareem memiliki catatan 41 tackle, satu sack, dua pass defended, satu forced fumble, dan satu interception selama kariernya di NFL yang dimulai sejak dipilih oleh Cincinnati Bengals pada putaran kelima draft 2020.
Sepanjang kariernya, Kareem telah bermain untuk empat tim berbeda di NFL, yaitu Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears, dan Atlanta Falcons. Meskipun belum pernah menjadi starter reguler, kontribusinya di lapangan, terutama dalam situasi tim khusus, menjadi nilai tambah bagi Giants.
Dengan bergabungnya Kareem, Giants berharap dapat memperkuat lini pertahanan mereka, terutama dalam menghadapi serangan udara lawan. Kareem dikenal memiliki kecepatan dan ketangguhan yang dibutuhkan untuk posisi OLB modern.
