According to reports, the New York Giants have agreed to terms with safety Jason Pinnock, pending a physical.
Pinnock played three seasons with the Giants before spending last year in San Francisco, where he appeared in all 17 games and made seven starts. From 2022-24, Pinnock played in 46 games with 37 starts for the Giants.
Overall, his career numbers include 263 total tackles (13 for loss), 11 passes defensed, 11 quarterback hits, 6.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and two interceptions – one of which he returned 102 yards for a touchdown for the Giants in 2023.
It is tied for the longest interception return in Giants history. On Oct. 15, 1961, Erich Barnes intercepted a pass at Dallas and returned it 102 yards for a score.
Pinnock’s pick was the third in Giants history that was returned at least 100 yards. Henry Carr had a 101-yard touchdown at the L.A. Rams on Nov. 13, 1966.
Pinnock entered the NFL as a fifth-round draft choice by the Jets in 2021.
Prior to that, he appeared in 42 games in four years (2017-20) at the University of Pittsburgh.
