The New York Giants signed veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and released kicker Jason Sanders on Tuesday.
Smith-Schuster's signing comes one day after the team added fellow wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Braxton Berrios.
With the loss of Sanders, the Giants have two kickers on the roster: second-year pro Ben Sauls and undrafted rookie Dominic Zvada.
Smith-Schuster, 29, has a history with new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who is short on healthy bodies at the position at the moment.
New York currently is practicing without injured wideouts Malik Nabers (knee), Darius Slayton (core muscle) and Gunner Olszewski (Achilles).
Smith-Schuster caught 33 passes for 345 yards and one TD in 17 games (12 starts) last season with Kansas City, where Nagy was the offensive coordinator. He has 481 grabs for 5,624 yards and 33 scores in 121 career games (92 starts) with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots and Chiefs.
Sanders, 30, signed with the Giants on March 10 after spending the entire 2025 season on injured reserve with Miami due to a hip injury.
Sanders made 84.6% of his field-goal attempts (187 of 221) and 96.6% of his PATs (259 of 268) in seven seasons and 116 games with the Dolphins, who drafted him in the seventh round in 2018. He was a first-team All-Pro in 2020.
