<p>The New York Giants added a veteran at inside linebacker, reaching an agreement with Reggie Ragland to a one-year, $1.1 million contract.</p>
<p>Joby Branion, Ragland’s agent, confirmed the signing Friday. He added Ragland was looking forward to playing for coach Joe Judge, who he knew from his days at Alabama.</p>
<p>Ragland spent last season with the Detroit Lions and played in all 16 games with six starts. He had 51 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.</p>
<p>A second-round draft pick by Buffalo in 2016, Ragland sustained a major knee injury in rookie camp and never played for the Bills. He was traded to Kansas City for a fourth-round draft choice in 2017 and played three seasons for the Chiefs before joining the Lions.</p>
<p>Ragland has played in 58 regular-season games with 38 starts. He started in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl championship win over San Francisco in February 2020</p>
<p>Ragland, 27, played on two national championship teams for Alabama.</p>
