Pierre Thomas – RB, 30-years-old
Like I said, the Giants do have depth at running back, but they’re still injury-prone at the position. Should Vereen and Jennings miss time, I don’t think they’ll trust Akeem Hunt in a number two role.
It’s no knock on Hunt, but the Giants have tried that before with guys like Michael Cox and Da’Rel Scott and they were just failed experiments.
For running back insurance, I expect them to turn to free agency. And I expect Thomas to be one of the guys they turn to.
