Patriots to sign ex-Giants safety Jabrill Peppers

There was no bigger advocate for safety Jabrill Peppers than former New York Giants head coach Joe Judge. And when he was sent packing from East Rutherford, it stood to reason that Peppers would follow him out the door.

As it turns out however, Peppers not only followed Judge out the door but followed him all the way to New England.

On Tuesday, it was announced that Peppers had agreed to a one-year deal with the Patriots.

Peppers had his 2021 regular season end early after suffering a ruptured ACL in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Despite the injury occurring mid-season, ESPN reports that Peppers should be back in time for the start of training camp.

The New Jersey native joined the Giants as part of the Odell Beckham Jr. In fact, he was a main cog in said trade — a demand from former general manager Dave Gettleman.

In 61 career games (59 starts), Peppers has recorded 333 tackles (224 solo, 21 for a loss), 13 QB hits, 4.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, 25 passes defensed, four interceptions and one touchdown.
