Giants signed S Jevon Holland, formerly of the Dolphins, to a three-year contract worth $45 million.
Holland will get $30 million guaranteed. The former second round pick out of Oregon is known for his physical play and should be an impactful addition to a revamped New York defense that last year allowed the ninth most yards and the 11th most points.
Dolphins are not expected to place the franchise tag on S Jevon Holland.
Holland is on track to hit free agency as one of the top safeties on the market without a franchise tag. The Dolphins have seemingly declined to use the $19.6 million tag, a number that would have put Holland between Antoine Winfield Jr. and Derwin James among the highest paid safeties in the league. Instead, the Dolphins will have a chance to negotiate a long-term deal with Holland as he also tests free agent waters. Expect the 24-year-old to get a contract near the top of the market.
Barry Jackson reports “Jevon Holland was able to practice at least some” on Friday and is likely to be a game-time decision for Monday Night Football against the Rams.
Holland will likely be marked as a limited participant for Friday. Jackson also notes Holland’s current knee injury is unrelated to the bilateral MCL sprains Holland suffered last year. On one hand, the fact that Holland avoided re-injury is a good thing. On the other, this is another knee issue on Holland’s health record.
Dolphins ruled out S Jevon Holland (knee) for Week 9 against the Bills.
Despite Mike McDaniel’s early-week assurances, Holland never had a shot at playing in Week 9. He failed to practice all week, as did slot CB Kader Kohou who was likewise ruled out. The Dolphins’ short-staffed secondary will have a difficult time stymieing the Bills’ talented pass catchers.
