  "account": "The New York Giants bolstered their offense on Wednesday by signing two players: tight end Josiah Deguara and wide receiver Kobe Prentice. Prentice, a 22-year-old undrafted free agent from Baylor, will likely replace the injured Calvin Austin III in the team's roster. Standing at 5-foot-9 and weighing 184 pounds, Prentice is undersized compared to Austin but compensates with his speed (4.39-second 40-yard dash), explosiveness (36-inch vertical), and acceptable quickness (7.16-second 3-cone drill).\n\nOn the other hand, Deguara, a 29-year-old experienced tight end, brings versatility to the position. After a torn ACL ended his rookie season with the Green Bay Packers, he spent four years (2020-2023) with the team before playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Arizona Cardinals. In 2026, the Giants signed Deguara to a one-year deal, but released him on August 24th. Deguara has played in 77 games, starting 12 of them, averaging 8.9 yards per catch and scoring three touchdowns throughout his career. The signings of Prentice and Deguara are likely to fill the spots vacated by the trade of Joshua Ezeudu to the Kansas City Chiefs and the injury to Calvin Austin III.",
