1. RB Boston Scott

How on earth could the Giants sign Boston Scott? If you combine the Philadelphia Eagles running back’s postseason and regular season stats, he has has 1,304 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns in his NFL career. Well, 11 of those 18 touchdowns are against Big Blue, which is insane and ridiculous.

In nine career games vs. the Giants, Scott has 90 carries for 446 yards. An unreal 34 percent of his yards and 61 percent of the touchdowns in his career have come against the Giants. Which begs the serious question, does he have any value when he is not playing the G-Men?

Scott also does not add a lot in the receiving game. In 2022, the running back caught just five passes for 15 yards. Scott’s very tiny 5-6 frame is also a concern. With all that I mentioned above, plus the fact Giants fans hate him, and the fact his first name is Boston, this all means that Schoen should not even consider him this offseason.
