Giants Secure Prospect at Area of Need After $170,000 Offer: Report

GettyThe New York Giants have signed undrafted offensive tackle Marcellus Johnson following the NFL draft.
The New York Giants have made another splash in the undrafted free agent market following the 2024 NFL Draft.
Along with UCLA defensive back Alex Johnson, the Giants reportedly offered guaranteed money to Missouri offensive tackle Marcellus Johnson according to KPRC2 NFL insider Aaron Wilson.
“[The] Giants deal for offensive tackle Marcellus Johnson includes [a] $20,000 signing bonus [and] $150,000 in base salary portion guaranteed, for $170,000 total guaranteed, per a source,” Wilson informed on April 28
The Athletic’s Dan Duggan initially reported on the Marcellus Johnson addition on April 27, but the terms of the agreement were unclear at that time. Needless to say, this bid likely helped secure the 6-foot-4 blocker out of Mizzou — considering $170,000 is a very large guarantee for an undrafted rookie.
