Jake Long: Giants could have interest in OT Jake Long
Jake Long - T - FA - May. 22 - 4:45 pm et
The Newark Star-Ledger believes the Giants could have interest in signing free agent OT Jake Long.
The Giants are looking to add offensive line depth after losing LT Will Beatty. Long’s career has been derailed by consecutive torn ACLs, but could provide a veteran stopgap if healthy. Seven months removed from surgery, Long should be limited to non-guaranteed deals. May. 22 - 4:45 pm et

that's not what Jordan Raanan said. He merely pointed him out as one possible candidate. This is another poor job by rotoworld.

Technically, you or I could write most anything and label it "could",

so I'm with you. Just caught my eye and thought it'd be good fodder for discussion...taken with a spoonfull of salt, of course.

do we even know if he could pass a physical?

On "could". Health is a major item for him.
What about Justin Blalock?

Or is he considered not enough of an upgrade over Jerry?

speculation masquerading as genuine interest to attract readers.

I'd be surprised if we signed Long.

10 years of development Guy Whimper is ready to go at RT.
Clear a spot on IR for him  
averagejoe : 5/22/2015 8:07 pm : link
and don't forget to reserve another spot for Schwartz.

Should we also reserve spots for Cruz, JPP, Prince, Beason, Ayers, Jennings etc. etc.
The bottom line is,  
barens : 5/22/2015 9:22 pm : link
if it happens, you know he passed a physical, and there's a chance he could hold the fort down. If not, then the Giants think he's either physically not ready, or he's asking for too much money.
At the right price Long

would be a solid addition assuming he can pass a physical. Honestly I don't want to see him at LT but at LG, RG, or RT he would be a nice fit.

Nah. Just Schwartz.

would be an upgrade over Reynolds and wouldn't hurt the team if he is forced to play a few games at center or guard if Richburg is injured and Jones isn't ready to serve as the primary backup center. Anthony Collins is another intriguing option. Two years ago he played great for the Bengals when Andrew Whitworth missed several games. In fact he played at such a high level that the Bengals kept him at LT when Whitworth returned and moved Whitworth to LG for the remainder of the season.
this seems like a no-brainer to me  
PaulBlakeTSU : 5/23/2015 12:46 am : link
that they would at least reach out and try and work out a deal with him, but then again, I'm not privy to all the information.

Is there something you have against Schwartz? Seems averagejoe feels the same way. Did he piss in your beer? What is your problem with him? Is it because he missed most of the year due to injury? Like he's the only one.
Don't understand the hate. Oh wait, maybe I do.
