A source told Jordan that Ryan is rejoining Brady in the same city less than a day after he was released by the Giants.
Ryan was given a chance to join a contender after two rough years with the Giants. Ryan was a team captain and the defensive play-caller.
The starting safety for the Jets was not offered an offer by the Bucs. Ryan has time at both safety and cornerback. Ryan gives them a veteran presence on the back end that they needed.
Ryan was brought in by former Giants coach Joe Judge, who had worked with him in New England. Ryan was signed in the summer of 2020 and received a contract extension on Christmas Day that year.
The New Jersey native who attended Rutgers was second on the team in tackles in his first season with the Giants. He added three forced turnovers.
The Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee had a career-high 117 tackles this past season. He missed two games because of COVID-19.
The Giants owe Ryan $5.5 million. He signed a three-year contract extension 15 months ago. It was guaranteed $11.5 million.
A source said that releasing Ryan saved the Giants a lot of money. The Giants being in the midst of a defensive reset is believed to be the reason for the release of the former team captain.
The Giants have a new general manager. The defense will be run by the former Baltimore Ravens assistant coach.
The news of Ryan joining the team was first reported by the network.
