Claim 6: “The Giants did not sign veteran running back Najee Harris”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The normalized claim says the Giants signed Najee Harris. While the original claim says they 'did not sign' him, the evidence provided in other claims (Claim 7 and 8) and the depth chart mention in Claim 2 explicitly place Najee Harris on the Giants' roster/depth chart, contradicting the notion that they didn't sign him.
