Yeah, when Spags was pumping up Hosley who sadly was the best option at corner with both Prince and DRC out. This team just doesn't get injuries to players they get injuries to entire units. On this team injuries are contagious.
They may be looking at him to play limited snaps

They may be looking at him to be a reliable CB for 10 to 15 snaps a game and hoping he can hold up with a reduced workload.

Hits it on the nose! Our corners drop like flies do to injury and you can never have enough of them. Espically when you need 3 quality on the field 75% of the time. If you only have 2 a good QB finds the weak spot.
IMO, bringing Leon Hall in

wouldn't be taking away snaps from Eli Apple. This is more of a Sam Madison/RW McQuarters type of signing, where we essentially have a player/coach. We have a pretty young team, especially in the secondary. We could use more than one vet to have in the mix outside of DRC.

Solid veteran presence. Quality player still, this would be a smart signing.
When I first heard this, I thought "can DRC play free safety?"  
Ivan15 : 5/3/2016 4:37 pm : link
but after reading about Hall's injuries, I'm thinking he would be a Week #2 signing, after rest and rehab.

trade DRC to 49ers for Davis? Eli Apple gets playing time.
This stuff around here is just nutty. You realize that Apple, Jenkins and DRC will be on the field a LOT together, yes? Apple and Jenkins being the huge upgrade over the crap we rolled out last year.

Dood that is the shit that shouldn't be named ! Let's hope that is not the case..

The other thing with Apple, it may not be that The Giants don't view him as the starting slot guy, maybe they view him as replacing someone else sooner rather than later.

CB Leon Hall left Giants facility without a contract. Fact-finding mission for both sides.

And there goes that.

He's probably too banged up ...

Guys who can control slot receivers are at a premium, these days. Too bad.
Well then,
