Shortly after the 2023 regular season ended and special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey, linebacker Carter Coughlin said he would not be returning to the New York Giants.
That statement was a bit premature.
On Monday, just hours into the NFL’s “legal tampering period,” Carter revealed in an Instagram post that the Giants were re-signing him.

The 26-year-old Coughlin was a seventh-round pick of the Giants in the 2020 NFL draft. He has appeared in 55 career games with two starts, primarily on special teams, and has recorded 41 tackles (31 solo, 2 for a loss), one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, two QB hits and one sack.
In 2023, Coughlin earned a 59.5 overall grade from Pro Football Focus.
