What happened: The New York Giants have signed offensive lineman Francis "Sisi" Mauigoa to his rookie contract, per Giants.com. Mauigoa was the Giants' first-round selection, taken No. 10 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. The signing completes the standard four-year rookie deal for the team's top pick.
Why it matters: Getting a first-round pick under contract ahead of the 2026 season removes any holdout risk and clears Mauigoa to participate fully in the offseason program. As the Miami lineman the Giants drafted at No. 10, he is expected to compete for an immediate starting role on a reshaped offensive line. Securing the deal early signals the front office views him as a Day 1 contributor.
What to watch: Watch for Mauigoa's placement on the offensive line during OTAs and where he slots once the Giants open the 2026 season.
