The New York Giants and former Packers linebacker Blake Martinez agreed to a three-year deal worth $30 million late Monday night, a source told ESPN's Jordan Raanan.

Martinez gives the Giants the middle linebacker they desperately need. The 2016 fourth-round pick has been a tackling machine with Green Bay, ranking first (155), second (144) and second (144) in the NFL over the past three years.

Martinez, 26, played the second part of the 2019 season with a broken bone in his hand.

He ended up with three sacks, five tackles for loss, a forced fumble and an interception in 2019, but the Packers gave every indication that they were looking to move on.

Overall, in four seasons, he has 512 tackles (332 solo), 10 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 2 recoveries and 3 interceptions.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky contributed to this report.

dfosterf (1h) : I should have put it in quotes

dfosterf (1h) : It is the title of a you tube video.

dfosterf (1h) : I'm not assuming anything

beast (7h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (13h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (13h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (13h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (20h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (22h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (22h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (22h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (22h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
