Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the Giants are “honing in on” free agent TE Rhett Ellison.

Tom Pelissero hears that the Jaguars are also interested in Ellison, who could get around $5 million per year.

Ellison, 28, played out his four-year, $2.4 million rookie contract that included a $300,584 signing bonus. His 2015 season, unfortunately, came to an end after he suffered a torn patellar tendon during their Week 15 win over the Packers.

The Vikings re-signed Ellison to a one-year, $2.25 million contract back in March of last year.

In 2016, Ellison appeared in 15 games for the Vikings and caught 9 passes for 57 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
