The Giants are in line to sign Adebo to a contract, ESPN.com reports.
Adebo, a 2021 third-round pick, entrenched himself as an immediate starter with the Saints but was limited to just seven appearances in 2024 before suffering a broken femur. The standout corner required surgery to address the injury, but he was deemed ready for normal offseason activities in late February. With his new team, Adebo will immediately slot in as a starter across from Deonte Banks, upgrading New York's secondary substantially.

Saints' Paulson Adebo: Undergoes season-ending surgery
Rotowire
Adebo (upper leg) underwent season-ending surgery Friday morning to address a broken right femur sustained during Thursday's 33-10 loss to the Broncos, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adebo is facing an expected recovery timetable of 4-5 months, which Schefter notes could allow him to be fully healthy by March, when he's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. The 2021 third-round pick was in the middle of a breakout season with the Saints, but he'll now need to turn his focus toward making a full recovery for the 2025 campaign. The loss of Adebo figures to propel rookie first-round pick Kool-Aid McKinstry into a starting role alongside Marshon Lattimore (hamstring).
