The Facts: The Giants kept their word. Rudolph is planning on doing the same for New York. The tight end expects to be back and fully prepared for the 2021 season -- his first in the Big Apple -- Rudolph said on Wednesday. It's good news for the Giants, and a rosy outlook for a tight end who nearly had to backtrack on his own financial celebration this spring.

Diehards Line: Rudolph agreed to a two-year, $14 million deal to leave Minnesota and join the Giants, but a standard physical examination by Giants doctors revealed a previously undiscovered foot injury that required surgery. This revelation put a brief pause on contractual matters, but eventually, the Giants honored their initial offer while Rudolph underwent surgery that forced him out of all offseason activities. As he's said since the surgery, he doesn't plan on encountering any setbacks going forward. In order for him to make it there, Rudolph will have to stay the course and avoid pushing himself too soon. While coach Joe Judge has remained vague when responding to questions about Rudolph's timetable, the tight end appears as committed as possible to such an effort. "I want to do everything to make sure I'm getting better every single day, and whatever that is is up to Joe (Judge), (offensive coordinator) Jason (Garrett), (director of rehabilitation) Leigh (Weiss) and everybody else involved," Rudolph said.... We'll be watching for more.
