The New York Giants announced Monday they signed former Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris.

It’s a two-year, $10 million deal, according to a person with knowledge of the contract who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team didn’t announce terms.

The 31-year-old Robertson-Harris was released last week by the Seahawks to provide salary cap relief after he was acquired in the middle of last season from Jacksonville.

Robertson-Harris was signed as an undrafted free agent by Chicago out of UTEP and spent his first five NFL seasons with the Bears. He signed with the Jaguars as a free agent in 2021 and was a starter throughout his three-plus seasons in Jacksonville.

Robertson-Harris has 11 1/2 career sacks and 67 quarterback hits, and should serve as a complementary piece on the Giants’ defensive line alongside Dexter Lawrence. Giants D-line coach Andre Patterson was Robertson-Harris’ position coach for two years in college.

The Giants also agreed to terms on a three-year contract with cornerback Paulson Adebo on Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.

Adebo was a starter for four years with the New Orleans Saints, who drafted him in the third round out of Stanford in 2021. He played in only seven games last season before breaking his right leg during a game against Denver and needing surgery, but he recently posted videos on social media showing him working out and running.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team didn’t announce the agreement. ESPN reported the deal is worth $34.75 fully guaranteed.
