Gets deal with Gang Green
Belton and the Jets agreed to terms Monday on a one-year contract worth up to $6 million, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
ANALYSIS
Belton spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Giants after being selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and he'll stay in New York but suit up for the Jets in 2026. He's coming off the most productive season of his career, finishing with 120 tackles (60 solo), including 2.0 sacks, five pass defenses (one interception) and three forced fumbles across 17 regular-season games in 2025. Belton will likely compete with Malachi Moore for the second starting spot at safety alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Belton's opportunities to play have been sporadic over his first two NFL campaigns, but he has a chance to move into a starting role in 2024 with Xavier McKinney off to Green Bay. Rookie second-round pick Tyler Nubin represents Belton's stiffest competition for the assignment, and the outcome may not be decided until close to Week 1 of the regular season. Belton hasn't been the surest tackler thus far as a pro, but he's shown good ballhawking ability with four pickoffs despite logging well under half of New York's defensive snaps.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Stands out in spring
Belton excelled in spring practices and looks poised to play a significant role on defense despite the offseason addition of Jevon Holland, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Belton had three interceptions in the five practices open to the media. Even if he fails to beat out Holland or Tyler Nubin for a starting safety spot, Belton will likely earn a role in certain packages that call for extra defensive backs as the Giants' third safety.
