1. Mark Glowinski
Mark Glowinski is by far the most important free agent signing for the Giants this offseason. Glowinski, an offensive guard with Indianapolis last season, combined with All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to form one of the best duos in the football .
Jordan Raanan, the Giants beat reporter for ESPN, perfectly illustrated what the Giants are getting in Glowinski.
"“The Giants seem to be adding a dependable veteran who is an upgrade from what they had last season with Will Hernandez and Matt Skura. Glowinski hasn’t missed a game in three seasons. In 2021, he finished 34th in pass block win rate, one spot ahead of Hernandez. But he was 11th in run block win rate, light years ahead of any Giants guard. Pro Football Focus had him ranked 21st among guards. No Giant was in the Top 50. So, clearly, by any metric, Glowinski is an upgrade. This is what constitutes a significant signing for the Giants this offseason.”"
While Glowinski’s ceiling may never be a Pro Bowl caliber player, he is significantly better than any other guard on the roster, and given the cap room Schoen was left with, signing Glowinski may turn out to be a steal.
Glowinski, Andrew Thomas, Jon Feliciano, and Evan Neal are four locks to start on the offensive line this season, forming what should be the Giants best offensive line of the last decade. The Giants goal for this season is ultimately to learn whether or not Jones is their franchise quarterback and signing Glowinski to help form a competent offensive line should finally give Jones time to show whether or not he is the future.
