With the news that the Saints will not franchise starting safety Darren Sharper, the possibility that the Giants will focus their attention on bringing in the decorated veteran safety come March 5, 2010 certainly increase. Even though Sharper is 34, he is coming off of a Pro Bowl campaign where he grabbed 9 interceptions [...]

On Wednesday, the Giants tendered two of their restricted free agents, Dave Tollefson (2nd Round Tender) and Gerris Wilkinson (3rd Round Tender). Still no word on defensive tackle, Barry Cofield, arguably the most important of the Giants’ restricted free agents this offseason.
I have to think that Cofield will be also be tendered at at [...]

With Brandon Jacobs’ season ending with a nice vacation to the Injured Reserve list (knee), and little dynamite Ahmad Bradshaw likely looking at potential off-season foot/ankle surgery/rehab, are the Giants in the market for an addition to their backfield?
Even assuming Jacob’s poor season (3.7 yards per carry and a frightening inability to convert short yardage [...]

As free agency is set to begin on March 5, 2010, some of the available (reasonable/practical) targets for the G-men are as follows:
Unrestricted Free Agents:

Before we get down to it, I will admit that the draft grades I am about to give might be a bit skewed as we all know that the Giants rookies in 2007, for the most part, played big roles down the stretch as part of the 2007 Super Bowl run. With that being said, [...]

Despite Osi Umeniyora’s threat that he will retire if he is not handed back his starting job (now isn’t that what Giants fans love to hear from their star defensive end), I don’t see Jerry Reese and co. shipping Osi out, but what if an offer came along that the G-men couldn’t pass up (multiple [...]

Antonio Pierce: Easy to start with Pierce who was released last week. Safe to say the G-men will have a new middle linebacker in 2010 and it is likely to be someone not already on the roster (apologies to Chase Blackburn and Jonothan Goff).
Danny Clark: Signed as a free agent in 2009, Clark has [...]
