Who Should I Start? Dane Belton or Joshua Jobe

New York Giants safety Dane Belton was making plays seemingly every practice this spring and had three interceptions in the five workouts open to the media. ESPN's Jordan Raanan writes that the former fourth-rounder in 2022 will have a role as the third safety this year, even if he's not a starter. It appeared as though Belton was going to be an afterthought after the team signed Jevon Holland earlier this offseason, but that just hasn't been the case. "He has been really good for us here early. Like he's had a really good spring," defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said. "[We're] finding ways to get him on the field, what he can do for us to help us." The 24-year-old defensive back showed some progress in his third year in the league in 2024, finishing with 56 tackles (28 solo), one sack, one interception, six pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 17 games (six starts).

The Seattle Seahawks re-signed restricted free-agent cornerback Josh Jobe (knee) on Thursday. In his first year with Seattle in 2024, Jobe appeared in 10 games (six starts) and had a career-high 37 tackles (29 solo), his first career interception and seven pass breakups before being put on Injured Reserve before the Week 18 regular-season finale due to a knee injury. The 26-year-old was an undrafted free agent out of college at the University of Alabama before latching on with the Philadelphia Eagles and making his NFL debut in 2022. In his two years with the Eagles, Jobe had only 23 tackles (20 solo), four pass breakups and a forced fumble in 28 games (three starts). Now that he's back in Seattle for the 2025 season, Jobe will most likely be battling for a 40-man roster spot in training camp this summer.
