6 pending free agents the NY Giants should let walk in 2024

5. OL Shane Lemieux

Maybe at one time, there was some potential with Shane Lemieux. However, we're now in Year 4 and the guy has just played 18 total games in his career. This, combined with his incredibly poor play when healthy, makes him a very easy candidate to let walk this offseason. It's unfortunate that he's never managed to remain on the field, but football is a business and both Lemieux and Schoen know this.

As I said, Lemieux has played just 18 games in his entire four-year career, which is essentially just one full season. In this time, he's allowed seven sacks, and 36 pressures, only having a PFF pass-blocking grade surpass 30 just once.

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that the Giants didn't cut Lemieux earlier in the season, as doing so would have saved them a little under $1 million in cap space. While they likely wanted him for line depth, I think we all knew he wasn't going to last very long before getting injured again. He's been unreliable and a liability on the field. It's time to move on.
