With Saquon Barkley heading down the New Jersey turnpike to play for the Philadelphia Eagles, the New York Giants were quick to find his replacement.

Former Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary has reportedly agreed to a three-year deal to join the Giants next season, per multiple outlets.

The deal is worth $16.5 million and could get up to $19.5 million with incentives, per ESPN.

Singletary, 26, is coming off a career-high 898 yards with the Texans, where he earned 10 starts over 17 games.

The Texans initially went with Dameon Pierce as their starter, but Singletary stood out more as the season progressed, and Houston preferred his services more.

He also collected four rushing touchdowns and averaged 4.2 yards per carry in his one and only season with the Texans.
