Jacksonville’s 2025 overhaul is on, with 23 new players and a string of bold moves. Saunders from New Orleans shores up the interior D-line while Fred Johnson heads to Philadelphia for extra draft capital. Tim Patrick adds veteran upside at receiver, and Beau Brade’s waiver by New York signals the Jags are still chasing safety depth after Caleb Ransaw’s season-ending injury. Jabrill Peppers, released by New England, remains a potential splash option for Jacksonville.

Jabrill Peppers could be back in Giants blue after being released by New England. A former Giants captain (2019–21) with three seasons and 32 games in New York, Peppers brings veteran leadership and hybrid safety/cover skills to a very young secondary. Rejoining the roster would supply local NJ flavor and immediate depth, with a possible path to a rotational role if he’s still got juice.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen has shown willingness to kick the tires on veterans who can elevate the back end and special teams. If Peppers passes camp health checks, he could compete for a steady role in 2025, offering veteran stability and upside for defensive units and fantasy IDP depth, especially in deeper leagues.

Jabrill Peppers was released by the New England Patriots after three seasons. He appeared in 38 games with 26 starts, posting 178 tackles, nine tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and three interceptions. He’s owed $4.32 million guaranteed for this season, so teams will weigh immediate cap hit against his veteran coverage and special-teams value. The move also clears a safety logjam for New England, creating opportunities for younger players and potential roster shuffles. Fantasy managers should monitor Peppers’ market and potential fit, which could shiftIDP value depending on landing spot.
