New York Giants officially re-sign linebacker Dyontae Johnson

The New York Giants have officially re-signed exclusive rights free agent (ERFA) linebacker Dyontae Johnson.

Johnson, 24, was originally signed by the Giants as a rookie free agent out of Toledo following the 2023 NFL draft. He spent the entire 2023 season on the practice squad and then most of last season on injured reserve (IR) with an ankle injury.

In two games (no starts), the 6-foot-2, 230-pound Johnson has recorded 11 tackles (six solo), while allowing four completions for 38 yards on five targets.

Johnson took 37 defensive snaps (26%) and 28 special teams snaps (50%) in his two games last season.

The Giants remain high on Johnson, even with a solid core of inside linebackers in-house such as Bobby Okereke, Micah McFadden, and Darius Muasau.
