The Giants re-signed Summers on Monday.

Analysis: Summers appeared in 16 regular-season games for the G-Men last season, making a pair of starts, and finished the 2024 campaign with 29 tackles (13 solo) and one pass breakup as a reserve linebacker and special teams contributor. He'll compete for a similar role next season.

Browns GM Andrew Berry said Monday that Hall did require offseason knee surgery, and Hall is expected to miss the offseason program, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Selected in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Hall suffered a neck stinger last August and then was involved in a domestic violence issue that led to a five-game suspension. He later missed time with a knee issue, and Hall went on to play in just eight games as a rookie. He finished the year with 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks. Hall should be ready to go for the start of training camp later this summer.

Speaking Monday, new Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said Barmore (illness) is expected to be available for the start of the offseason program next month, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Analysis: Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots last summer and missed the first 10 games of the 2024 season before being cleared to play in November. He appeared in four games before experiencing recurred symptoms, leading to his placement on the reserve/non-football illness list for the final three contests of the year. Barmore's return would be a massive boost to New England's defensive line.
