The New York Giants and linebacker Blake Martinez have agreed on a three-year contract worth just over $30 million, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

Martinez leads the NFL with 284 solo tackles since 2017.

The 26-year-old started all 48 games for the Green Bay Packers over the past three seasons after the club drafted him in the fourth round in 2016. He established a career high with 155 total tackles in 2019 while also recording three sacks, an interception, and a forced fumble.

Martinez will join a linebacker group highlighted by David Mayo, who amassed 82 tackles in 2019 and re-signed with New York this offseason.

The Giants' acquisition of Martinez caps a solid day of business, as they also reportedly acquired cornerback James Bradberry and placed their franchise tag on defensive lineman Leonard Williams.
