Recently signed New York Giants cornerback abruptly retires
A New York Giants cornerback has abruptly retired after just four days with the team.
The New York Giants have placed cornerback Sam Webb on their reserve/retired list, concluding a brief stint with the team. Webb signed with the Giants just Thursday, participating in one practice before taking the field in Saturday's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium. He made 14 appearances, contributing with two tackles.
A 28-year-old undrafted free agent from Missouri Western, Webb began his NFL journey with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022. Over the course of four seasons, he played in 36 games, amassing a total of eight tackles, one pass defended, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown in seven games with the Browns last season. Following a brief stint in Denver Broncos training camp this summer, Webb has decided to retire.
The Giants signed him to address secondary injuries, adding safety Ugochukwu Amadi while releasing David Long Jr. and D.J. James. With Webb's sudden retirement, the Giants now must find additional cornerback depth as they continue their preseason preparations.
