The Giants have signed the following players to the Practice Squad:

  • RB Michael Cox
  • WR Julian Talley
  • OT Nick Becton (Chargers)
  • DE Jordan Stanton
  • LB Dan Fox
  • CB Bennett Jackson
  • CB Chandler Fenner

New England Patriots claimed DT Kelcy Quarles off of waivers.

Of the names that NYG cut  
Sy'56 : 8/31/2014 9:37 am : link
assuming they aren't picked up, I think they should sign:

Bennett Jackson - CB/S
Kelcy Quarles - DT
Rogers Gaines - OT


For everyone else, they should look around the league. That's what I think of their overall roster this preseason.
predict  
aquidneck : 8/31/2014 9:41 am : link
either Cunningham or Grimble, both cut last week, ends up on the PS.

Just a hunch. We'll see.

BTW, what happened with Gaines? I thought he looked good and would make the team. Is he hurt?
they should keep at least one of the Rb  
George from PA : 8/31/2014 9:42 am : link
They onky kept 3

Mike in NY : 8/31/2014 9:46 am : link
Chandler Fenner also flashed some so I would not mind trying to stash him on the PS
I agree with Cunningham coming back  
Peter from CT : 8/31/2014 9:49 am : link
exactly the type of development player that you want.

Sy, any potential TEs that are projects to stash that got cut?
I hope we keep  
sjnyfan : 8/31/2014 10:20 am : link
Quarles and Grimble. Grimble's injury was a major setback but I think he has the tools of an NFL starting TE. I know it's not saying much but talent wise I think he's better than the 3 that made the roster.

Quarles IMO outplayed Bromley the final two weeks. I still can't believe he went undrafted but he has an NFL future
My  
AcidTest : 8/31/2014 10:22 am : link
list:

Jackson.
Quarles.
Gaines.
Fenner.
Grimble/Cunningham.
Cox/Gaskins.

Four others from other cuts.

But what we really need to do is replace some of the OL and TEs on the 53.
Make it stop

Can we stop talking about "developmental" players and "projects" that we can "stash" on the PS? Name the last such player that we developed into a starter, or even a quality backup. This coaching staff seems incapable of that. We have a serious problem there and in our drafting.

A guy that could have been that guy this year was Marcus Harris. Larry Donnell and to a lesser extent Eric Herman still have a chance.

Andre Brown is a former PS guy that became a starter.
Jake Ballard spent most of 2010 on the practice squad.  
Big Blue Blogger : 8/31/2014 11:12 am : link
Jim Cordle made his way up to the lineup too, though only because Baas couldn't stay healthy. So yes, it happens. Not a lot, but it happens.
It will be interesting to see how NYG use the two new veteran PS slots  
Big Blue Blogger : 8/31/2014 11:20 am : link
The lazy assumption is that they'll bring back their own cuts, like Cox. But a better use might be guys from other teams who have the talent to play here, but who need time to learn the system before they can contribute. Considering the Giants' modest return from the 2012 draft, those two PS slots might offer a small chance for a Mulligan on a couple of late picks.
Isn't Gaines a special case, because he was waived-injured?  
Big Blue Blogger : 8/31/2014 11:33 am : link
Can he actually join the Giants' practice squad right away? That seems like a pretty big loophole in the blackout period for re-signing a player who lands on IR after clearing waivers, then receives an injury settlement and becomes a free agent.

The whole Gaines situation is strange.

lugnut : 8/31/2014 11:34 am : link
I think Larry Donnell and Andre Brown actually prove my point. Donnell is JAG and Brown has been a human pinball around the entire NFL. Is he even on a roster anywhere? I actually do have hope for Harris, less so Herman.
Fenner update  
Defenderdawg : 8/31/2014 12:14 pm : link
@caplannfl: If he clears waivers, CB Chandler Fenner is expected to wind up on the Giants practice squad.
Fenner  
NewBlue : 8/31/2014 12:31 pm : link
I was going to say Fenner looked good in the last few games, but frankly who really knows going up against the 2's and 3's vs. back up QB's.


name one  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 8/31/2014 12:33 pm : link
Ballard, Derrick Ward (Jets Practice Squad), Andre Brown immediately come to mind.
...  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 8/31/2014 12:35 pm : link
Marcus Harris was on the PS last year and he was going to make this team before hurt.
Wasn't Victor Cruz on the practice squad at one point?  
Canton : 8/31/2014 12:37 pm : link
But was injured.
I'd keep Quarles, he made the team over Kuhn in my book  
JonC : 8/31/2014 12:40 pm : link
Sign Jackson, Cox, and Grimble if they think his head is in the game.
some

Excellent point. I was thinking the same thing. I hope that's not the case. Still don't understand why Brown was kept over him.
Ballard  
fkap : 8/31/2014 12:46 pm : link
is a good example of a guy who made a decent contribution. The rest of those listed are just guys who made it to the regular roster. Granted, making it to the big time is an accomplishment, but from the fan pov, nothing to get excited about.

You're right Eric. He almost made the practice squad though.. If he was, BBI would have blown up and never forgiven Reese.

Quote:
Cruz was in a fight for one of the final roster spots as cutdown day approached at the end of the 2010 preseason. The team liked Cruz, but they also liked Derek Hagan and felt that Cruz could use some time on the practice squad. Giants vice president of player evaluation Chris Mara admitted to Mike Garofalo of the Newark Star-Ledger that the salsa dancing receiver was destined for waivers before some intervention from up above.

He was saved by some upper-echelon Giants front-office people, Mara said. Ill put it that way.

Would like to see them on our practice squad. Gaskins too.
doesn't work that way Spock  
aquidneck : 8/31/2014 1:37 pm : link
there won't be 50 players across the entire league claimed before next Sunday for other team's active rosters. Remember, vested vets are FA and not subject to claim.

Similarly, PS players aren't claimed. They're signed as FA and legal to sign as of 12:00 noon today.
