4. NY Giants fans won't miss Oshane Ximines

Oshane Ximines remains a free agent, but he isn't coming back to New York. Giants fans won't miss Ximines. Ximines was a third-round pick in 2019, a pick the Giants received when they traded Odell Beckham Jr. to Cleveland. During his time in New York, the outside linebacker dealt with injuries and inconsistency, and could never get on the right footing.

It just simply never worked out. Two months prior to the 2019 draft, Ximines was projected as a first-round pick due to his size and speed, but ended up falling all the way to the third round. In his four seasons in Blue, Ximines was graded as a low end backup or replaceable player by PFF.

His most memorable play as a member of the New York Football Giants was when he jumped offside on a Monday Night Game in Kansas City during the 2021 season. The offside penalty he drew erased Darnay Holmes' potential game-winning interception. The Giants could have pulled the biggest upset of the 2021 NFL season by beating Patrick Mahomes in Arrowhead, but Ximines cost us all that moment.
