The New York Giants are signing wide receiver Courtney Jackson to a reserve/futures contract.
The move comes shortly after the conclusion of the 2025 season, in which Jackson was a member of the practice squad for the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks . The 5-foot-11, 179-pound receiver provides depth at the position and potential special teams value, particularly as a return specialist.

Jackson, 24, began his college career at Syracuse University (2019–2022), where he appeared in 36 games and recorded 63 receptions for 662 yards, while also handling punt returns, including a touchdown. He transferred to Arkansas State University (2023–2024), playing in 26 games and totaling 81 catches for 1,183 yards and 9 touchdowns.
Across his collegiate career, he amassed 144 receptions for an average of 12.8 yards per catch and 13 receiving scores, plus solid return contributions (14.0 yards per punt return on 40 attempts and 20.3 yards on kickoffs).
Undrafted in the 2025 NFL draft, Jackson initially signed with the Denver Broncos as a free agent but was released before joining Seattle's practice squad in August 2025. He spent the year there, earning a Super Bowl ring despite not appearing in regular-season games.
The reserve/futures deal secures Jackson's rights for the 2026 season, allowing the Giants to evaluate him during offseason programs. This low-risk addition addresses receiver depth and bolsters the return game amid broader roster changes.
