Big Rick in FL : 3/20/2017 10:33 pm : link
Said that they will. Not that they have. Now go get Hankins back and let's look forward to the draft!

Danny Kanell : 3/20/2017 10:33 pm : link
Boom!
Great news  
figgy2989 : 3/20/2017 10:34 pm : link
Guess Buffalo wasn't going to match our offer.

Let's hope Hankins follows suit.
I'll wait for numbers  
jcn56 : 3/20/2017 10:34 pm : link
but at a reasonable cost I love the move.
Nice  
j_rud : 3/20/2017 10:34 pm : link
Gotta admit, was wondering who was gonna cover backs and TEs if he didn't return. Lost in all the (understandable) Harrison/Jenkins love was the fact that Robinson proved to be a pretty damn good signing.
I don't love the guy like most of the forum  
illmatic : 3/20/2017 10:34 pm : link
seems to be enamored with him but it's nice to have him back if it's a short term deal.
How much? How long?  
Rjanyg : 3/20/2017 10:35 pm : link
Boy do I like this signing. He was very solid in coverage.

Very good offseason so far. Can't wait for the draft!!!
Wonderful.

Offseason keeps improving. Now let's finish it off with Hanky Panky...
Nice.  
robbieballs2003 : 3/20/2017 10:38 pm : link
I didn't think he'd be back after his visits.
Excellentl

Stay healthy
I'm suspecting that this trickle of signings means that it's  
yatqb : 3/20/2017 10:40 pm : link
doubtful that Hank returns. Money's getting tighter by the minute.
Good signing

happy to have him back!

You are probably right Yat. Kind off a bummer. I like Hankins. Keeps the LB's clean.
Very good  
crackerjack465 : 3/20/2017 10:45 pm : link
If Hank comes back, we can truly go BPA the first three rounds of the draft. We have a full holes (OL, RB, TE) where we can add depth and playmakers but we are overall a very solid team across the board.
AUSGEZEICHNET!

Not necessarily. The signings of both Herzlich and Robinson could allow them to release JT Thomas now. Not to mention Dwayne Harris will either re-construct or be released.
Clock is Ticking Hankins

nobody else wants you but the Giants !!!
nice  
Paulie Walnuts : 3/20/2017 11:01 pm : link
we add some more youth in the draft... got to get Spags another Pass rusher or corner
Adoree' Jackson- USC  
Paulie Walnuts : 3/20/2017 11:05 pm : link
add in 2nd rd as a slot corner

you dont need Harris then either
Hooray

I don't really think they need Harris now. He was flat out bad as a returner last season. He made plays as a gunner but I honestly think Roger Lewis can take over that role.
Smart signing  
Torrag : 3/20/2017 11:52 pm : link
Filled a role as a coverage backer and consistent edge presence that had been a sore spot for many seasons.

Frees us up to move on from JT Thomas whose signing has been unproductive due to injuries.

Now only DT remains to shore up before the draft.
Nice!!  
ZGiants98 : 3/21/2017 12:00 am : link
Now cut JT Thomas and we spent nada!
Jerry Reese  
SHO'NUFF : 3/21/2017 1:17 am : link
putting in work
Excellent  
Joey in VA : 3/21/2017 1:20 am : link
Once he started playing a lot of snaps in the sub packages with Collins playing the rover type role things took off. Very very happy he's back.
This Defense is going to destroy people  
JD in NC : 3/21/2017 1:34 am : link
I don't even care about the offense anymore.
Especially with a true FS....This defense will shine!  
George from PA : 3/21/2017 1:55 am : link
We never really played with a true FS. They have gotten hurt early and their replacements just did not have the same range and instincts.
Excellent!  
Steve in South Jersey : 3/21/2017 5:32 am : link
Great news.
Good signing  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 3/21/2017 6:22 am : link

Awesome. Loved the guy  
Tuckrule : 3/21/2017 6:29 am : link
Our defense vs backs and tight ends in the passing is largely due to him. Great signing. Hopefully it's long term
He is a nice player, but a definate injury risk  
ZogZerg : 3/21/2017 6:42 am : link
Can he put two healthy seasons together back-to-back? Lets hope so and that the Giants didn't spend too much.
Just need Hankins back  
Big Rick in FL : 3/21/2017 6:44 am : link
& hopefully a vet RB. If that happens we go into the draft in really good shape. If we have a similar draft class as last year we could make a real deep playoff run.
Nice Waking up to this News  
Suburbanites : 3/21/2017 6:52 am : link
I predict they now sign Blount, however I continue to believe they purposely let Hankins go.
whats not to like  
mdthedream : 3/21/2017 7:30 am : link
he covers TE and Rbs out of the backfield. This is a area that killed us for years. He did a great job last year.

I would expect JT Thomas gone.
So since Robinson took on more of a cover role,  
Ten Ton Hammer : 3/21/2017 8:34 am : link
Is casillas made more expendable? I don't dislike him, but game to game he's inconsistent.
Miight be the best

It's not Casillas that becomes expendable but Thomas.
I am in the minority...  
Dillon in Va : 3/21/2017 8:52 am : link
I was hoping he moved on. I dont think he was bad last year just over-hyped as a very good or great coverage LB. I thought he was just ok, with some good games.

With that said, I hope he makes a year 2 jump in preformance, like Casillas made in Spags defense. He seemed to pick up the defense quickly in year 1 so hopefully he can add some impact plays while providing solid coverage this year.

Do we know if he was 1 year deal again or a multi year deal?
Another  
AcidTest : 3/21/2017 9:09 am : link
great move by Reese, depending on the numbers.
Great news  
SamdaGiantsFan : 3/21/2017 9:13 am : link
When healthy, he's clearly an athlete at the position. It's always been his health that's held him back though, hoping he can stay on the field a bit

I see him as a good coverage LB but not a great tackler. I like him in that coverage role. This defense needs a true thumper in the middle. I'm hoping that player is Goodson this season, and he can build off of plays like this

I preferred he move on as well  
JonC : 3/21/2017 9:50 am : link
NYG continues to sign LBs who are closer to backup level in terms of talent. While KR runs well and provides some plays at times, he often over-runs running plays, misses tackles, and isn't really ideal for the role.

Same goes for Casillas, and JT Thomas.
