The New York Giants can officially say they’ve wrapped up the more boring part of the rookie integration and initiation process. Running back Cam Skattebo has officially signed his rookie deal, making him the seventh and final member of the 2025 draft class to get his contract squared away.
This marks the second year in a row the G-Men have avoided any lingering rookie contract drama heading into training camp. And while it may not move the needle for most fans the way highlight plays or breakout storylines do, it still matters.
The job’s not done until the paperwork is, and now it’s done.

Skattebo’s deal is a standard four-year, $5.271 million contract that includes a $1.1 million signing bonus. He was the last of the bunch to sign, but his delay wasn’t tied to anything serious. It’s just how the timing played out as the team wrapped up its spring program and began shifting focus toward training camp in July.
Giants lock in rookie class with Cam Skattebo’s signing
Skattebo generated immediate buzz after the Giants took him in the fourth round. He isn’t a burner, and he’s not going to make defenders miss in space. But he runs people through the ground, catches the ball well, and fits the exact profile the Giants’ offense has leaned into under Brian Daboll.
There’s already an expectation that he’ll compete for carries early, especially in short-yardage situations.
Skattebo’s limited spring participation due to a lingering injury has drawn some attention, but not alarm. The team hasn’t indicated any long-term concerns, though it’s certainly something to monitor once camp opens. If he’s full-go by then, he’ll be competing for early reps in a backfield led by second-year back Tyrone Tracy Jr.
The bigger takeaway here isn’t about his contract, though. It’s about what it signals. All seven rookies are now under contract and ready to get the G-Men over the hump. General manager Joe Schoen is hoping this class is just as impactful as his 2024 class, and this final signing just helped New York inch closer to that goal. Because if it isn't, it could spell doom for Schoen and Co.
With everyone signed and onboard, the clock now moves to July 22. There’s nothing left to sort out—just a rookie class that’s about to find out how ready it actually is.
