Same stadium, new team: Damon Harrison reaches agreement with Giants

— -- The New York Giants and Damon Harrison are in agreement on a deal, a source told ESPN's Dan Graziano, confirming multiple media reports.

Harrison, 27, has been with the New York Jets for the past four seasons. He played last season on a one-year, $2.4 million contract, the amount of his upgraded tender as a restricted free agent.

Affectionately known as "Big Snacks," Harrison arrived in 2012 as an undrafted free agent from tiny William Penn (Iowa) University and developed into one of the league's premier run-stuffing tackles. Before the season, he called himself "the best nose tackle in football."

He emerged as a regular in his second season and has started 48 consecutive games. He is one of the reasons the Jets finished third, fifth and second in run defense over the past three seasons, respectively.

Playing only first and second down, Harrison has just 1.5 career sacks, but he has excelled against the run. He registered a career-high 39 solo tackles last season, demonstrating the quickness to play in coach Todd Bowles' one-gap system.

Elsewhere on defense, the Giants agreed to a five-year, $62.5 million contract with cornerback Janoris Jenkins, sources told ESPN.
