3. OG Greg Van Roten
We don't want to sound like a broken record, but the Giants can never have enough offensive linemen. The Giants countered last season's poor performance by beefing up their offensive line with the additions of veterans Jon Runyan Jr. and Jermaine Eluemunor in free agency. The team also addressed its disappointing offensive scheme by hiring former Las Vegas Raiders offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo to take over at the helm of the offensive line.
One veteran we like who is still looking for a new home is Greg Van Roten. The free-agent offensive guard most recently played with the Raiders and has an existing relationship with Eluemunor and Bricillo. Not only does the guard have chemistry with some of the Giants' linemen, but he's a New York native. He is from Long Island and played at Chaminade High School.
The 34-year-old OL provides depth that the Giants could never have enough of and provides a plethora of experience throughout the league as a member of several teams. Last season, as the Raiders' starting right guard, Van Roten started all 17 games and earned a 75.3 overall grade from Pro Football Focus.
If the Giants ever do decide to sign another OL, a couple that stick out as far as current free agents go:
— Doug Rush (@TheDougRush) May 9, 2024
Nick Gates: former Giant who was released by the Commanders after one season.
Greg Van Roten: former Raider who played under Carmen Bricillo in 2023.
Both can add depth… https://t.co/pn0Djr5fLy
