Good deal for the Giants
DG doing well  
SCGiantsFan : 3/15/2018 5:31 pm : link
The OLine will be different and hopefully an upgrade. We were needing some fresh blood along the OLine.
Great deal

I hope Omameh becomes a fan favorite like Rich Seubert.

Yep
so if they are following similar structure, 1st year prob gtd  
Eric on Li : 3/15/2018 5:42 pm : link
and there's minimal dead money if he gets cut after this year. Really good deal.
really really good deal for giants  
mphbullet36 : 3/15/2018 5:42 pm : link
if he proves to be a solid starter this is a great contract. Playoff experience too
I wonder if Omameh will start at LG or RG  
Jay on the Island : 3/15/2018 5:42 pm : link
He has played both and I think that he is a better fit at RG. I wonder if Chad Wheeler is a possible option at LG. He is athletic enough to pull and with an entire offseason in the S&T program he should be much stronger when he arrives for OTA's. He is the same weight as Pugh with the frame to add more size. A few scouting reports suggested that he could be a good fit inside.
I'm very intrigued with  
DonnieD89 : 3/15/2018 5:43 pm : link
this pick up and signing. I hope he becomes a house hold name for a good mount of time.
I love this guy  
sharpshooter66 : 3/15/2018 5:44 pm : link
He is a big, physical,smash mouth lineman. Can probably play right guard also. This is the type of line Gettleman obviously wants. That was my knock on Reese is he seemed to think that a big lineman meant a smash mouth lineman and we had a team stocked with huge guys who play like women
He is just what this offensive line needed  
Jay on the Island : 3/15/2018 5:44 pm : link
A big, physical, hard working overachieving who plays to the whistle.

Must be LG unless they go WillH or exclusively LG@34.
Notwithstanding  
old man : 3/15/2018 6:08 pm : link
LG/RG options, that's a better starter show me deal than JR paid some roster fillers.

Nice find by Gettleman. These are exactly the types of signings I had hoped we'd see from him.

Love the contract, too.

Well done.
For what its worth  
BobR in Durham : 3/15/2018 6:13 pm : link
Omameh started at RG for Michigan, so he can probably work at either guard spot. Also, both Greco and Halapio can play center in a pinch.
Ughh  
UConn4523 : 3/15/2018 6:14 pm : link
$15 million too much. Awful.

Omameh started 9 games the Bears at RG in 2015 and all 16 games for Tampa Bay in 2014.
sounds like a $4.5 signing bonus, $1M salary in year one  
Milton : 3/15/2018 6:30 pm : link
So basically it's a one year $5.5M deal with the Giants having the option on years two and three. I wonder what the salaries are for those years.

I'm not as thrilled as some of you. He sounds like a stop gap addition with the hope to upgrade down the road.

During preseason play Wheeler showed good athleticism and technique at tackle. I hope he pans out and finds a job opposite Solder. I'd like to see (L to R) Solder, Flowers, Jones (or draft pick, Omameh; Wheeler.
Awesome deal

Great pickup.

Seems like a good guy too....

I likeyou as a poster, but of late you have just been inordinately negative about ANYTHING the team does.

How is 15 million with 5.5 of it guaranteed "too much" or "awful?"

As far as I know, Wheeler was actually a pretty good OL prospect and that injuries as well as some off the field issues made him drop. I think we may have scored with this one. He needs to get bigger/more physical, but he was "ok for an undrafted rookie" to my knowledge.
yup

Same. I wouldn't mind another mid/low tier OL or secondary signing like this.
This UConn likes the deal  
uconngiant : 3/15/2018 11:07 pm : link
He is a smashmouth type the Giant's need and the cost and guarantee is workable
I like the fact that he has started at both LG and RG. I’m hoping  
Ivan15 : 3/17/2018 8:57 am : link
He ends up at RG and Nelson is the LG.
