Giants Pre-Camp Tryouts
Giants Evaluate Kenneth Murray and 17 Other Free Agents in Pre-Training Camp Tryouts
Anonymous
Key Points
1
Kenneth Murray was a 2020 No. 23 overall pick by the Chargers and signed a four-year rookie contract worth about $12.975 million (with a $6.996 million signing bonus); the Chargers declined his fifth-year option in 2024, and he later played 17 games with the Cowboys in 2025, starting 16 and totaling 81 tackles.
2
Jake Haener, the former Fresno State quarterback, was among the 18 players the Giants worked out on Monday, highlighting the team’s interest in adding depth at quarterback.
3
Ahmaad Moses, SMU safety, is an undersized playmaker at 5-foot-9, 192 pounds with a 38-inch vertical; he went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft after an MRI revealed a herniated disc, underwent spinal fusion four months ago, and has recently been cleared to return.
4
Tony Grimes is a 6-foot, 195-pound corner with long arms and a blue-chip recruiting pedigree (ESPN ranked him as a top-6 recruit); he previously played for North Carolina, Texas A&M, and UNLV before transferring to Purdue for 2025.
5
Sam Webb is a veteran corner who has appeared in 36 NFL games with 5 starts, recording 45 tackles, 4 passes defensed, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble, with prior stops including the Raiders, Panthers, and Browns, and he brings special-teams experience.
The New York Giants worked out 18 players on Monday, including veteran linebacker Kenneth Murray, as the team prepares to open training camp around July 28 in West Virginia, according to NY Daily News. The Giants are also expected to sign former Iowa State tight end Tyler Moore, an undrafted free agent who previously tried out with the Panthers this spring.
Murray, a former first-round pick, spent last season with the Cowboys. He started 16 of 17 games and recorded 81 tackles but remains unsigned. The Giants currently have two open roster spots after waiving linebackers Cam Jones and C.J. Ravenell.
Tyler Moore Expected to Sign After Tryout
The Giants are set to add Moore to the roster after his Monday tryout, per Heavy. Moore went undrafted out of Iowa State in the 2026 NFL Draft. He had already drawn interest from Carolina, earning a tryout with the Panthers in the spring before the Giants moved in.
Tight end depth has been an area of focus for New York heading into camp. Moore gives the Giants a young, cheap option to develop. His signing would fill one of the team's two open roster spots.
Kenneth Murray Still Unsigned After Cowboys Stint
Murray was the No. 23 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, selected by the Chargers on a four-year rookie deal worth about $12.975 million. The Chargers declined his fifth-year option in 2024. He then landed with Dallas, where he started 16 games and totaled 81 tackles in 2025.
Despite solid production, Murray remains a free agent. A spot with the Giants could give him a chance to reclaim a starting role. New York needs linebacker depth, and Murray's experience starting in a 4-3 system fits what the team runs.
Giants Also Try Out Quarterback Jake Haener
Former Saints quarterback Jake Haener was among the 18 players worked out Monday, according to Myrtle Beach Online. Haener was a fourth-round pick in 2023 out of Fresno State. He started one game for New Orleans before being released.
The tryout signals the Giants want quarterback depth heading into camp. Haener gives them a young arm with some NFL experience. New York is clearly covering its bases at multiple positions before the first practice whistle blows.
Safety Ahmaad Moses Brings High-Risk, High-Reward Profile
The Giants also brought in former SMU safety Ahmaad Moses. At 5-foot-9 and 192 pounds, Moses is undersized but athletic, with a 38-inch vertical. He went undrafted in 2026 after an MRI showed a herniated disc. He then underwent spinal fusion surgery and was cleared to return just recently.
Also tried out were corner Tony Grimes, a 6-foot, 195-pound former blue-chip recruit who played at North Carolina, Texas A&M, UNLV, and Purdue, and veteran corner Sam Webb. Webb has played in 36 NFL games with stops on the Raiders, Panthers, and Browns, recording 45 tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception.
