New York Giants sign DT Marlon Tuipulotu

Tuipulotu is a rotational interior defensive lineman with NFL experience across multiple teams (Eagles, Chiefs, Giants previously) who provides depth and versatility along the defensive line. This reserve/future deal is a low-risk, low-cost move typical of offseason roster building, addressing potential gaps without committing significant resources to an unproven solution. The move suggests the Giants are still evaluating their defensive line depth and adds a veteran option for competition, but it's unlikely to move the needle materially on a defense that needs more impact talent.
