Mills spent the last three seasons with the New England Patriots before signing with the Giants back in March. The former seventh-round pick began his career with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016. Mills played five seasons with the Eagles and won a Super Bowl with them in 2017.
There has been talk of the Eagles potentially bringing Mills back, so that could be one option for the 30-year-old.
Mills played in all 17 games for the Patriots last season. He recorded 45 total tackles and a forced fumble.
