The New York Giants announced that they’ve made five roster moves on Saturday for their Week 18 season finale.
The full list includes:
- Giants elevated T Yodny Cajuste and K Mason Crosby to their active roster.
- Giants signed QB Jacob Eason and TE Tyree Jackson to their active roster.
- Giants placed S Jason Pinnock on injured reserve
Eason, 25, was selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Colts. He was waived in the third year of his four-year, $4,027,264 contract that included a $732,264 signing bonus and later claimed off of waivers by the Seahawks.
Seattle later waived Eason. From there, he signed on with the Panthers and was added to their practice squad at the start of the 2022 season. Carolina cut him loose after activating QB Sam Darnold from injured reserve.
Eason had a stint with the 49ers practice squad following a tryout before being cut again. The Panthers re-signed him to a futures deal for the 2023 season but cut him back in May. He had an earlier stint on the Giants’ practice squad.
During his college career at Georgia and Washington, Eason threw for 5,590 yards while completing 59.8 percent of his passes to go along with 39 touchdowns and 16 interceptions over the course of three seasons and 29 games.
