The New York Giants spent free agency looking for bargains, and in some areas improved the roster but holes remain across the depth chart
As expected, the New York Giants largely sat out the first wave of free agency, adding a couple of bargain signings one year removed from an ill-conceived spending spree that turned out to be a colossal disappointment.
New Giants general manager Joe Schoen entered the offseason upwards of $12 million over the cap, before parting ways with veterans like running back Devontae Booker, tight end Kyle Rudolph, and restructuring the deals of linebacker Blake Martinez and Sterling Shepard, just to get cap compliant and able to afford some players to fill literal holes on the roster.
To date, the New York Giants have signed veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor, offensive linemen Mark Glowinski and Jon Feliciano, tight end Ricky Seals-Jones, running back Matt Breida, and linebacker Jihad Ward.
Since it would appear the New York Giants have made all of the major moves they intend to make between now and next month’s NFL Draft, this seems like an apt time to take stock of the roster.
