Giants signing Jermaine Eluemunor to two-year deal to bolster offensive line

The Giants are making an upgrade to their offensive line.

Big Blue is signing veteran tackle Jermaine Eluemunor to a two-year, $14 million contract, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The 6-foot-4, 330-pound Eluemunor spent the past three seasons with the Raiders, playing under new Giants offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo the past two years.

Last season, the 29-year-old allowed just six sacks in 905 snaps played over the full 17 games, according to Pro Football Focus.

Eluemunor was a fifth-round pick of the Ravens in 2018 and spent two seasons in Baltimore and two with the Patriots before landing in Las Vegas.

The Giants are looking to upgrade an offensive line that let Daniel Jones get sacked 30 times last season before suffering a torn ACL against the Raiders in November that ended his season.

Earlier Monday, the Giants reached a three-year, $30 million agreement with guard Jon Runyan.

It was a busy opening day of NFL free agency for Big Blue as they saw safety Xavier McKinney (Packers) and running back Saquon Barkley (Eagles) depart while adding Eluemunor, Runyan and running back Devin Singletary.

The Giants also pulled off a trade for Panthers pass-rusher Brian Burns.
