The two-year, $14 million deal Rudolph and Big Blue agreed to last week had been in jeopardy when an issue with the former All Pro’s foot came to light.
NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo reported that there could be a problem with the deal on Tuesday before later clarifying the situation.
Kyle Rudolph is still in town and meeting with the #Giants tonight. The team and his camp are talking about a medical plan. Everything could be ironed out. The deal isn’t dead at this point. Just some extended discussions about the medicals right now. https://t.co/EZZxvF5clU

The Giants have chosen to honor their original contractual agreement with Rudolph, who will undergo surgery in the coming days. He is expected to be ready in time for Week 1 of the regular season.
