New York Giants re-sign return specialist Gunner Olszewski

[ASFN Admin]

As the new league year and the start of free agency approach, the New York Giants have agreed to a one-year deal with wide receiver and return specialist Gunner Olszewski.

This move addresses a key need in the special teams return game ahead of free agency.

While Olszewski offers limited production as a receiver, he set a career high with 145 receiving yards in 2025.

The 29-year-old Olszewski appeared in 10 games for the Giants in 2023 and in all 16 games in 2025.

He also scored a receiving touchdown last season and contributed to one of the most memorable plays of 2025 by throwing a touchdown pass to Jameis Winston during the Week 12 loss to the Detroit Lions.

Olszewski will rejoin the Giants' special teams units under new special teams coordinator Chris Horton. Ideally, the wide receiver corps will stay healthy in 2026, minimizing the need to rely on Olszewski in the passing game. That said, after attempting two passes in 2025, he could see an expanded role in trick plays within Matt Nagy's offense.
