New York Giants sign veteran CB Breon Borders

On Sunday, the New York Giants announced the signing of veteran cornerback Breon Borders to fill the empty roster spot left by the release of quarterback Nathan Rourke.

Borders, who turned 29 last week, is a well-traveled player. The Giants are his 13th stop in the NFL. His career began as an undrafted free agent out of Duke for the Oakland Raiders in 2017.

Since then, Borders has spent time with Buffalo, Houston, Jacksonville, Washington, Pittsburgh, Miami, Tennessee, Arizona, Chicago, Atlanta, and most recently, New England.

Borders has played in 32 NFL games (starting six) with his busiest period being with Tennessee in 2020-21 when he played in 17 games with five starts.

Current Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen was an assistant with the Titans during that period.

Over seven seasons, Borders has recorded 42 tackles (35 solo, one for a loss), one QB hit, one fumble recovery, seven passes defensed, and one interception.

Should he make the roster, Borders also has special teams experience.
