A Proven Veteran Joins Big Blue

The New York Giants have added experience to their defensive line. Today, they signed veteran defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris. Robertson-Harris brings size and toughness to the Giants. He stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 290 pounds. Over eight seasons, he has played in 117 regular-season games. He started in 62 of them.

Career Stats That Show Consistency

The 31-year-old tackle has made a solid impact throughout his NFL journey. His stats tell the story. He has 19 career sacks, 27 tackles for loss, and 67 quarterback hits. He’s also deflected 14 passes and made 211 tackles, 122 of them solo.

Robertson-Harris has played for the Chicago Bears (2016–2020), Jacksonville Jaguars (2021–2024), and recently the Seattle Seahawks (2024).

Playoff Experience Counts

Robertson-Harris has also played in three playoff games, starting two. He brings important postseason experience to a young defense. In those playoff games, he recorded one sack and five tackles for loss. He also had two quarterback hits, two passes defensed, and 14 total tackles.

Strong College Background

Before the NFL, Robertson-Harris played at the University of Texas-El Paso. He earned All-C-USA Honorable Mention honors in 2014. He wrapped up his college career with 10.5 sacks and 26 tackles for loss. He also forced four fumbles and deflected nine passes.

A Great Fit for the Giants

The Giants needed depth and leadership on the defensive line. Robertson-Harris brings both. His experience will be valuable as the team looks to improve on defense this season. Big Blue fans should feel good about this move. This signing adds strength up front—where games are often won or lost.
