2026 Outlook
Seven-year veteran signed by the Giants in March 2026 after being released by Miami to create salary cap space. Sanders made 84.6% of his field goals over his seven-year Dolphins career, with arguably his best season in 2024. However, he missed the entire 2025 season due to a hip injury. Struggled from distance (68.8% from 50+ yards). Giants parted ways with veteran Graham Gano after three seasons of subpar performance, making Sanders part of a major special-teams overhaul under new head coach John Harbaugh.
