4 remaining free agents with NY Giants connections
2. Justin Pugh
Would an old face being added back to the interior group intrigue you? How about 32 year old, former Giants offensive lineman Justin Pugh? Would Giants fans welcome him home with open arms? Giants fans thought Pugh was all but a lock to be re-signed and they were shocked when he was allowed to leave Metlife Stadium.
After his four years with the team, Pugh signed a five-year, $44 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals. He was a staple on their offensive line. Pugh has been very loud on Twitter this offseason about a potential reunion with Big Blue, but do you think he would come in and take a guard spot?
The Giants have some unproven depth at the left guard spot and some major inconsistencies on the right. Ben Bredeson and Josh Ezeudu have been getting first cracks at the left guard spot with depth pieces Wyatt Davis, Jack Anderson, and Shane Lemieux are fighting for roster spots.
Pugh could also provide some versatility being a swing tackle for the Giants and help push/further develop Evan Neal. Outside of Mark Glowinski, 31, the rest of the unit is very young, and the constant rotating of players has slowed the process of the line building chemistry.
